My very first cake!

Remember the cake I was talking about yesterday? I finished it. It turned out rather messy, but it tasted fine! I'm very happy. I foresee a cake filled future for me. Just as soon as I get 1. some round cake tins 2. a cake tray 3. a spatula.

ps. Notice my crazy 70s kitchen tiles! I have similar style (but blue of course) in the bathroom. Hooray for old-fashioned tiles!

I'm still alive, barely

It's been ages since I've felt up to posting. I spent most of the summer depressed, annoyed and tired. Even my holidays turned out to be a tiring and at times frustrating hike through the greek islands. I had never been to so many islands over a three-week period! I had never taken so many consecutive boats and buses during such a short period. I had never had so many things go wrong!

So when september came I was anything but rested. September and October I passed the time being largely blue.

So that's what I've been up to. Not very interesting and not much fun.

And today is my sister's birthday and I'm baking my first cake! There is so much room for thing going terribly wrong! I have so far baked the cake that looks ok, even though it's rectangular. I didn't have a round cake tin. I just realised I don't have a large dish to put my weird square cake in! I should pop to the supermarket to see if I can find anything. And then I have to glaze it! The glaze is setting in the fridge.
