Baby Shower

It looks like all of my posts are starting to deal with cakes. Are you hungry yet?

I made my first cake from scratch this time around. I used a chocolate cake recipe from one of my baking books. As always, I made the buttercream icing from scratch. I made a dummy cake yesterday to test the recipe out, and it turned out really well. The flavor is rich, and the cake is very moist. I suppose bad recipes generally don't make it to published books.

This is also my first baby shower cake. One of my coworkers is pregnant, but she's about to transfer to another branch. So, we're throwing a little baby shower/going away lunch for her at the branch tomorrow since it's going to be her final day.

Bon appetite!
