Adventures in Baking

This week I made my first ever cake from scratch all by myself! A friend of ours had a birthday which I took as a convenient opportunity to satisfy my craving for chocolate cake. I usually make cake from a box but had decided to make homemade frosting. While looking for a frosting recipe, I found a cake recipe and discovered I had every ingredient but cocoa. I thought I would try my hand at a little baking and I must say, it turned out wonderfully!

I was messing around with flash settings and couldn't decide which picture looked better so I put them both up.






I have a new found respect for people who put frosting on the sides of the cake. That was much harder than it looked!
