Hi there huns!
LOL yup I tried my brand new oven today :)
We're celebrating Orthodox Christmas tonight and I wanted to make something special... so I decided to bake a striped chocolate cake from scratch (even the icing is made from scratch too) :)
You may think I'm crazy that I'm blogging about this but it's actually a real act of heroism for me rofl Cooking is the thing I don't have the gut for... just don't like it, scared of it... I can spend a whole day washing, cleaning, ironing and enjoying it... but cooking is the undiscovered universe I feel too humble to trespass!
Now you might be sure that was a real challenge!!!
Well... I succeeded! :)
Look at the result :)
See you tomorrow - I have a new kit that will hit the store on Tursday! :)
Big hugs your way and happy holidays,
Irene

ReplyDeleteBy the look on that adorable little face I'd say it was a hit! Looks delicious, too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great picture! If you ever have doubts that you can bake, that smile is the proof that you can!!
ReplyDeleteMy friends here celebrate Christmas now too...have a wonderful day!
ReplyDeletemmh...by the way...maybe we can help each other...I really hate ironing but I love baking...sooo....can we make a deal??
big hug,
Miranda
С Рождеством! Так аппетитно выглядит! А я сегодня тоже пекла открытый пирог из песочного теста с вишней!

The look on your daughter's face in that second photo makes it all worthwhile, doesn't it? Congratulations on a job well done!

ReplyDeleteС Рождеством! Я тоже не люблю готовить, но гладить по-моему намного хуже))
