let them eat cake
(maybe that's not such a good quote to be repeating?)
But here's some of what we're up to...
Miss MusicBox baked three half-batches of chocolate cake on Wednesday to determine which was the perfect recipe for this weekend... Yesterday she baked 6 layers of cake (for 2 of 3 cakes) - strawberry and the chocolate (Hershey's deep dark chocolate?). Today she baked 3 layers of "Miss Grace's" carrot cake recipe... and then another layer after one was damaged :-( (I'm saving that one layer for Sunday ~ Rom 8:28 ~ yum!) AND we've had debate upon debate and discussion of just how to decorate them all... :o Her plan was to decorate two cakes today and the third tomorrow afternoon (between bridal shower and graduation party).
After supper Tim saw she needed some encouragement with the frosting... so he put his abilities withtrowel frosting spatula to work. Can you tell he used to do finish work with concrete? :-)
And this pic to show the beautiful antique cake stands that belongs to my SIL...
Meanwhile Miss MB worked on the second cake...
She's saving the chocolate cake decorating for tomorrow...
And, in other news... I went to see Bruce yesterday about the kitchen cabinets. Here's the 20/20 version of the plan from early this week. It's pretty close, but we've also added and changed some things. He doesn't want to place the order before a we see a full-sized door in the finish we've chosen... just in case. And he came out to the house today to do his own measuring - even without the drywall and amidst the current work. So he and Tim were able to discuss some things on-site ~ very helpful!
I don't think I want to count the number of weeks until June 30...
I'll go check on Miss MB and her cake instead ;-)
