Growing up sucks

So last week my sister came home for the day and made her a cake that I have been wanting to make for a while courtesy of Pinterest. It was chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. And for the first time making it, I think it turned out pretty well. Next time I am going to make sure that the cake is a little bit higher and that I purchase the right bag of m&m’s (as you can see I accidentally bought a holiday variety bag).

I have seen soo many different versions of this cake that I just want to keep making more and seeing what I can do with it. I have seen a version where its vanilla cake with vanilla frosting, kit kat bars and then strawberries and blueberries in the center. I think that it was supposed to be a classier version of this cake and I think it looked pretty cool. I have also seen an easter cake that had coconut dyed green with cadbury easter eggs spread out. I think I might make that for easter but instead of using the coconut, I am gonna use green frosting. And then there is this one which is what my cake was supposed to look like but with a little bit more flair. 

When I showed my coworkers the cake I made for my little sister, they said that I was in the wrong profession because of how much I like to bake. Sometimes I think they are right, but honestly I prefer to keep this as a side project and make things for my friends and family instead. Yesterday I found two more cakes that I want to make but I am still looking for an occasion to make them cause I first need to make a tester before I actually make one for someone. The first is something that I know all of my peanut butter loving friends might enjoy. 

Its a chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting and peanut butter cups to decorate. Even though I don’t like peanut butter, I would soo love to try this cake out. It looks very inexpensive to make and not very time consuming to decorate which is something that I like. 

This cake is something that combines my favorite two ingredients into one gorgeous looking item. Its a caramel cake thats made of vanilla cake and caramel frosting. Now this is a cake that I REALLY want to make. Soo I think I might attempt it and make the girls at the grad house my guinea pig when I go there for homecoming. If I can pull this cake off, there are soo many ideas going through my head for what I can do with it. 

Today on the other hand deserts will not be made. Today I will be baking Garlic Chicken with a sweet kick to it. The amount that I am making should be enough to keep me going for lunch at work for the next week. Well thats all the food stuff I can think about for today.
