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
xoxo
