Hello world. It's been a while. Sorry about that. I just want you all to know that I have been busy, and that's why I haven't updated. I'm still baking. A lot. And definitely decorating much more. I recently got a job decorating cakes at a local grocery store. I have learned so much more than I thought I could. I thought I already knew the ins and outs of decorating. How wrong I was. Now I can confidently say that I am as good at piping as I am at decorating with fondant. I couldn't say that a year ago.

Anyways, back to this lovely post and the reason I'm finally updating. I made a chocolate chiffon cake. This, http://www.tasteofhome.com/Recipes/Chocolate-Chiffon-Cake , is the recipe I based mine off of. I tweaked it to make it my own of course, but those are my secrets. ;)

It was fun to make and I love the taste of a chiffon cake. It is so light and fluffy. You could eat so much of it without realizing how much you've eaten. It's like the manna of the cake gods. Seriously. I topped mine with fresh strawberries and homemade whipped cream. It doesn't get ANY better than that.


Until next time all you wonderful people who have been so supportive. I will try to be better about updating, but no promises. I try not to make promises I might not keep. Happy baking! :)
