My Staycation is off to a fantastic start! On Friday, I walked around town and had lunch at Eataly with my excellent friend, Magenta.I also bought myself some new cake pans. Saturday it was off to the races with Phin and a group of friends, where I won $12 on a horse named Boom Town Sally! And on Sunday and Monday we barbecued with my family and then Phin's. Here's the cake I made for Phin's family bbq using my new cake pans... a towering patriotic strawberry shortcake...
This cake was so much fun to make because I just didn't know how it would work out. I used 3 different size cake pans (7", 5" and 3"). Things got a bit dicey when the whole thing started to imitate the Leaning Tower of Piza, but Phin came to the rescue with a shish kebab skewer. I speared the thing down the middle. Once it set up in the fridge, it was fine.
Here's a slide show of the construction and destruction of the cake!
Hope you had a great weekend, too!
