Giggle's first ever cake from scratch!
Blueberry Chocolate. This is what happens when you leave Chiau Gy alone in a kitchen for nine hours.
Diet FAIL.
LOL!
UPDATE: 9:40pm. I ate a piece of the cake, after an hour or so of recovering from dinner.
My God.
It's not just chocolate, with blueberries on it, and cherries here and there. It's chiffon chocolate with blueberries IN it, hand made icing, and hand-ground dark chocolate sprinkles.
I was a bit concerned about the icing - remembering Gigi's aversion to "too sweet" things, like cake icing.
But THIS... not too sweet. Not too UN-sweet. Perfect, like you'd expect from someplace really expensive.
And it's from scratch. Like, starting with flour and milk. Nothing from a box (the cherries and blueberries were a pie filling, but only because that was convenient.)
My poor "Betty Crocker" strawberry cake with vanilla icing tasted like it was made out of wax compared to this.
It was even well decorated, for a first try! I'm sure Gigi will be practicing more. And I'll be the guinea pig. Last year it was cheese cake. This year chiffon cakes.
Goodbye, waist. Hello "Big Men's Clothing Shop".
