GO NUTS!

Homemade Doughnuts. Such a simple treat to make, and surprisingly really yum. We dressed ours up in powdered sugar, cinnamon/sugar, homemade chocolate frosting leftover from the cake and dipped in a little concoction my mom made, and some store bought vanilla frosting. the doughnut holes were a must. can't wait to make more.

the whole making our own doughnuts was brought about by this neat little tool we picked up at the grocery store. a cookie cutter/doughnut cutter. you can see it in the first and second picture. the center comes out so you can use it for cookies or whatever. plus it had the simple old fashioned doughnut recipe right on the back of the package! wicked awesome.

yay cake results

yum. tasty yellow layer cake with fool proof chocolate frosting all made from scratch. i won't lie, it wasn't perfect. the edges of the cake were a tad overcooked, but that didn't deter from the deliciousness! the frosting was rich and smoooooth and oh so chocolate-y.

Next recipe: DOUGHNUTS! GO NUTS!

yay cake

I'm going to make a fluffy yellow layer cake from scratch today! Got turned on to the idea after flipping through the Cooking for Two 2009 issue of America's Test Kitchen. If it turns out, I may have to do a repeat in a week or so for some birthday celebrations. Also, really want to bake a pie soon. But what kind!?

she swells, ascends and opens her mouth wide for the purpose of screaming. it is the end and there are those whom need to be warned. it is the time of day when the sky paints the earth with colour that wraps itself around everything. her shoes are tied uncomfortably tight causing her feet to hang as though detached from the legs. bits of spittle from her mouth land on her cheek, flushed. the air around feels cool on her skin; skin steadily gaining heat. hands start to rise, fingers to point, eyes to squint, widen and squint again. it is the end and there are those who need to be warned.
