this is a cake! THE guinness cake . . .

Lately I have come across tons of pictures . . . instead of writing my thesis! I have not posted a thing about that particular project have I? I will in this upcoming week. You will see :)

I found this picture of the cake I made for Ross' surprise party last February. I am not a great baker but I have to say this was one of the funnest cooking projects ever! As a little background, Ross likes the occasional Guinness and so I set out to make a Guinness cake. I loved it and I think everyone else did too! The idea started from one of Nigella Lawson's cooking episodes, though I decided not to use her recipe because she utilizes metric measures and her recipe required A LOT of conversions--especially since I wanted to change the recipe a bit. Anyway, I remember giggling while I was putting everything together--all three layers! It came out a little tilted which ended up being the perfect way to make it look like an Irish pub stout. Just one of those fun moments!
