The torch has passed

On Saturday, we had a surprise party for Shavon's 30th birthday. The party was awesome and I made an angel food cake. It was my first attempt at making and Angel Food cake. It was a lot of work, but it was also really good. I don't like cakes all that much (beyond baking and decorating them) but I liked the Angel Food cake. I did not, however, take a picture of it, because my dad iced it. I didn't want people to confuse his "talent" with mine!

On Tuesday, her actual birthday, I attempted a Lemon Drop Cake. This was again, the first time I had attempted to make the cake. But it got the approval of others.

When I was younger and I wanted to help in the kitchen, I was given the task of buttering the pans and cracking the egg. This was true for my mom and aunts as well. Those are pretty much the two tasks no one can screw up, regardless of ability.

Mom invited me over to make the cake and "help." She got to butter the pans and crack the eggs. Mom said the "torch had been passed" and I was officially better at baking cakes than her.

Pretty awesome compliment, if I do say so myself. Not when it comes to actual cooking, I am stuck with the "low ability/ low screw up" factor tasks. And I'm okay with that!
