Today was Henry's birthday party with our families. The big 03. That age deserves a great cake. A cake that won't soon be forgotten. A "hey Mom, remember when you made that monster cake for me" kinda cake. Yeah, a monster cake. I green monster cake with three googly eyes and a bright red tongue. Memorable? I think so. It also gave me another shot at the Cold Spring Bakery white cake recipe. Fail. The cake was fine, but not what I was going for and a little on the dry side. I will keep you posted on that, because the quest is not over-in fact it appears that it has just begun. This cake was all about the outside, deception. With an outside like that, you expect more from the inside. Don't judge the book by the cover, I guess. If at first, or second or third or fifty, you don't succeed-try, try again. Well, happy birthday Henry, from all of us to you, I wish your cake was better, but what's a girl to do?
That monster tasted good:)
