One of the things that I have really found interesting while watching Top Chef is that they know how to make cakes from scratch. When I was young the only cakes we had came out of a box or were purchased in plastic container from the store. When I was young I never really thought that people would actually make a cake from scratch.

Amanda’s brother had his birthday two weekends ago and we were responsible for the desert. I thought that this would be a good time for me to try and make a cake. I won’t share the pictures but I ended up running out of frosting (also made from scratch) and I was a little disappointed. So this weekend I wanted to try and make a better one. Unfortunately, I didn’t actually get around to it but last night I finally made it.

As you can see it turned out really good and was only a small mess. I think that in the future I will make more cakes. It might even be a good skill for the future…
