on thursday, march 3, at approximately 6:00 p.m., i put on an apron and made my first vanilla bundt cake.
just a few hours later, simon, fresh back from a business trip, (hurray!) ate a big slice and declared it "tasty."
finally, at 10:00 p.m. with the scent of fresh-baked sweetness lingering in the air, i fell onto the couch with a perma-grin on my face and coaxed simon into rubbing my feet.
victory. the end.
p.s. gah! now that i type this out, i realize it sounds like an episode of mad men. let's either a) just go with it and pretend i was wearing an amazing dress or b) remember that i am a yoga-loving, organic-eating, hippy feminist. and occasionally, i crave bundt cake.
p.p.s. speaking of cake.

betty draper, if you ever want to jazz it up, banana bundt cakes are sooooo good. just make sure you drizzle a little orange flavored glaze on there.

ReplyDeleteWhat recipe did you use? Is that chocolate on there?!
ReplyDeleteWOW, that looks great. I've always found the shape of bundt cakes very intriguing.
ReplyDeleteyum. ps. cutest post ever.
ReplyDeleteHahah! I love Father of the Bride AND I love this post! Everybody needs some yummy cake in their lives, and every woman deserves a great foot rub. I convinced mine to give me one the other day and it was pure bliss.
ReplyDeletefeminists are allowed to make cake :) and, they are always encouraged to have their husbands rub their feet after they make cake!! and of course, yogis are allowed to eat cake. cake only ever makes life better. yum!!!
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing wrong with doing domestic things. It only makes us more amazing because we can do both.
ReplyDeleteMmmm looks so yummy!
ReplyDeletemaybe mad men isn't so bad sometimes? :) I think it can be fun to play housewife, but that doesn't mean that I'm not a strong, independent woman with hobbies that have nothing to do with my hubby! HAPPY WEEKEND!
ReplyDeleteum, looks so delicious!! I want a slice. And thanks for reminding me of that Father of the Bride scene :)
ReplyDeleteOh wow, this looks fabulous! I imagine bundt cakes to be terribly American.. am I right?!xxxxxxx
