Fruit

With six apple trees, three plum trees and three cherry trees, we got our first fruit this past summer. Miss Critterpants and i split it. It was the most delicious half of a cherry ever tasted!

Cake of Shame

FourLoko has become a kind of joke in a circle of my friends. I would like to say it has been as highbrow as flights and critiques, but it really consists of "Oh that tastes TERRIBLE! Here, you try it!"

For the Superbowl, I took the joke one step too far. I took this socially reviled drink and made it into something familiar, about as far from college parties as one can get. A homemade layer cake with butter cream frosting.

I couldn't bring myself to taste it once it was completed, but people liked it! Un-ironically enjoyed the cake!

Here are the pictures. It all still makes me feel ashamed of using my baking skills for what i feel is evil, not the greater good.
