Yesterday I made a belated birthday cake for my mom. It was totally natural, homemade and almost 100% organic. I even made the frosting by hand (one egg white, two cups of organic powdered sugar, pinch of salt, teaspoon of vanilla, stick of butter).
I also made a mixed berry puree that I squirted along the circumference of the cake to soak up into the sides. I finished it off with a mint leaf garnish.
And this is the first time I've decorated with a piping bag and pastry
tips. I made the pattern up as I went along -- I think I may have a
knack for decorating cakes. What's funny is, I don't like cake.
PART 2 : "Wait! I just got schmootz on my hands!"
FIN!
I just made a simple balsamic vinegar reduction with sugar and freshly grated peppercorns and simmered it until it reduced by half. I'm going to brush it on some peaches and grill them, but now, honest to god, that damn reduction has made my entire house smell like sweaty-ass feet!
MY HOUSE SMELLS LIKE FEET!
