bake me a cake

Good afternoon!

I went shopping with ma mere this morning, and I bought a pretty new top and some beige nail varnish. I've been looking for a nude colour everywhere, that of course was in my price range, and wasn't too french manicure-y, and I managed to find one today :-)

We also bought some eggs, strawberry jam and pink food colouring, as today was cake-making day!

I began making my cake, and I hoped for it too look something a little like this...

Lets just say, before you continue reading, I am really not cut out for cooking.

I started making the mixture and the eggs and sugar and butter began to curdle. I was whisking it really fast and my arm was aching. I don't know how mon pere does it, he whisks it so fast, it only takes 2 minutes and it swishes about in the bowl without making any mess or splashing over the sides. I managed to smooth out the mixture after a while, and after adding the flour, I put it in a cake tray and popped it in the oven for 20 minutes.

I don't exactly know what went wrong, I followed all the instructions correctly. The cake didnt rise exactly to plan, so it was more like a decorated biscuit. And even the decorating went wrong as I didn't realise our shortage of icing sugar, or where it had all gone (I tell a lie, I probably ate it all. Isn't icing sugar the nicest thing ever?) Never mind, the cake actually tasted very nice in the end! :-)

I'm going to see Tormented later, and I really, really am dreading it. I'm not very good when it comes to scary films! I only want to see it as it was filmed where I live! Ahh well, looks like I'll be covering my eyes most of the evening.

Goodbye for now, lovelovelove! x
