i'm just venting here... i spent this morning baking a cake for my neighbor across the hall, who has a birthday today. she's laid up with a broken leg and none of her friends would come uptown to see her. so i had a tiny little party with the neighbors in our building. as requested by the birthday girl, i made a beautiful yellow cake with swiss meringue buttercream. it contained six organic eggs, two tablespoons of penzey's vanilla, and five and a half sticks of butter, and i used my own homemade vanilla sugar in the cake and the frosting.
so... i'm just a wee bit put out, because one of the guests asked me if it was from a box!
