Description
When the baking bug bites, it bites hard. I had been sitting at the office all day dying to get stuck in in the kitchen. Needless to say, I started right away when I got home.
I made a basic vanilla cake and smothered it in caramel treat. The icing is a basic rolled fondant (which took forever to mix and get all the colours right). Paulie, the baby of the family (who is also a parrot) was very curious about what I was doing.
By the time I was done, 5 hours later, everyone else in the house had gone to bed, so I had to wait until the next evening before we could actually sample the cake. It was pretty good (if I may say so myself), even Paulie enjoyed some cake.
The cake ended up being so big that all the neighbours got a piece too. Aside from saying how great the cake looked, almost everyone commented that they loved how the caramel and the underside of the fondant had gone a little marshmallowy and gooey.
In short, I had a GREAT time baking and eating this cake, and YES! I'll definitely enter again so that I have an excuse to create something this fun again.
