And.... presto! My very own burnt sugar cake. It tastes like caramel and pralines. Delicious.
I have to say it turned out really well, I was proud. I felt like a Food Network star in her own element, whipping up egg whites and heavy cream, vanilla, sugars of all sorts.
No wonder my son gets all hyped up after he eats birthday cake! I got to see first-hand what goes into the frosting- sugar, sugar, and then finally, some more sugar.

Just as a side note, I got the other things on my productivity list tackled. My nails are ruby red and my cans are a'collecting.
