Patrincia,
Thanks for sharing your cake. So elegant, beautiful and perfect. Ever since I borrowed the Cake Bible from the library, I’ve been obsessing about making cakes. I’ve been up till 2 am the last several days baking and decorating cakes as well (it’s the only time the kids are asleep and I get to focus). Unfortunately, I’ve been ignoring my hubby. So today, no cakes. However, this sunday, I’ll probably make some cupcakes for a luncheon. I seem to have a tough time getting the timing right on those (always too dry).
I know all too well about baking in the middle of the night. I started doing this when my kids were young, but now that they’re a bit older I find it’s still my preferred creative time. By now my hubby knows if I have a large cake to do, I won’t be sleeping the night before. Which also means that he knows I’ll be sleeping a lot the day after
. He’s so supportive (so long as there are leftover crumbs and buttercream for him to snack on
).
