baking day.

since i stopped baking for the cafe at the beginning of the year, i have really enjoyed doing the odd cake order/brownie making for my friends. i started early today, as a cupcake order of 90 '21st' red velvets were on the agenda. asked to keep it simple and something a boy would eat...easy as pie i thought. red velvet is my favourite cake to make and most of the time i make them gluten free with vanilla cream cheese frosting. a winning combo in my eyes. so i whipped out elsie and got baking. this is the first batch of baking i've done with a kitchenaid and i wasn't disappointed. it did take much longer cleaning her afterwards because let's be honest, she's no breville and has to always look her best. she's more like an art piece to me that will bake the odd cake. i'm definately in love. on the way to drop off the cake order, sarah and i popped into an oppy at annerly where we both found a pretty new addition to our wardrobes. mine, the skirt below and hers a beautiful red prom dress that fits her to a t. on my way back i popped into reverse garbage for some wood delights that will feature in my new project, starting tomorrow. i hope you've all had a great saturday...sunday seems like it will be just as beautiful.
