okay - not so much an excursion, but, whatever.
my shirt for Beri came in the mail today (YAY!!) - she has a little spring in her step now when she's wearing it. Sort of like a "Damn straight, bitches get stuff done!" type of spring.

and here are photos of the end results for the Chocolate Rum Cake and the Fruit Cocktail Cake (please click the photos for larger versions.... yum. seriously they tasted farking awesome!)


[the icing on the fruit cocktail cake sort of slipped into the center of the cake too much - because there wasn't enough fridge room at my aunt's when we got there. had to make a Sophie's Choice type of decision and let the rum cake sit in the nice cool air]



Whatchoosayin'?? (6 yapped)

I love that Beri is rockin' the campaign! She is giving the slogan a whole other spin on the "bitches" part, lol.
I would eat "both" cakes. I certainly don't have it in me to discriminate on appearances....not when it comes to yummy cake anyway. ;-)

Looks yummy! Can you share the fruit cocktail cake recipe? I would be interested to try that out.
