We went out and bought the photo printer...and I decided to make the cake. I've never made a cake before, but I was ready to give it a try. I'd seen my mom do it a hundred times, so I figured I would go for it.
Becky chose chocolate cake, which I'm not very fond of, but it's her cake, so whatever.
(Super Moist!!)
Following the instructions on the box, I mixed the ingredients together in a bowl.
(Ingredients, pretty self explanatory, I know.)
I decided to be bold and make a two layer cake, instead of your normal, ho-hum flat cake.
(Cake times two!)
I let my cat lick the bowl a little, just to make sure the mixture wasn't poisonous.
(Dakota...no animals were harmed in the baking of this cake!)
Dakota didn't pass out, or keel over dead, so I took a turn at the mix!
(I also didn't keel over, in case you were curious.)
After 24 minutes, the cakes came out of the oven, and I promptly allowed them to cool for 10 minutes, as instructed.
(Getting close!)
After the required 10 minute "cooling time" I popped a cake out and slapped it on the plate. It was at this point, I remembered hearing a story about putting the icing on while the cake was hot.
It was a bad idea, let's leave it at that.
So, I let it cool completely, (actually, the icing container told me, in big scary letters to LET THE CAKE COOL!) Then, I put the icing on.
(Voila!!)
Happy Birthday, Becky! I hope you enjoy the cake, and it doesn't make you keel over dead!
