lesson learned

I think I may have a stalker. An internet stalker that is. I guess I should consider it a good thing. After all, imitation is the highest form of flattery :) This person just does everything I am doing (that i post on this blog). Its weird and aggravating at times but I am going to look at the glass half full. Thank you blog stalker. I like that you think the things I do are cool enough to copy.

Last night I attempted to make petit fours. Mrs. Prissy, Ashley's mom, makes the best petit fours that I have ever had in my life. Instead of just asking her for the recipe, I found one online on cooks.com. I have gotten some good recipes off of there before. It sounded pretty legit so I figured I would try it. I bought all of the fixings and set out to make them last night. They were HORRIBLE! I haven't had very much bad luck in my baking but this was a disaster. I had high hopes after that delicious cake with almond buttercream icing but I was severely let down. The cake was pretty decent by itself but I definitely wouldn't call it delish. The icing was hard as a rock. It was like chewing candy on top of cake. I literally took the plates of them and dumped them in the trash. I finally did what I should have done in the first place and asked for the recipe. "You have not because you ask not". James 4:2. I learned my lesson.

Tomorrow I am going to try to make a red velvet cake for Josh's birthday. Noone I know has a recipe so this is the best I've got. Hopefully it won't be a disaster too.
