Baking, Baking, and Wait..More Baking!

These uniforms get incredibly hot!

      Now the title is quite the understatement of my day. My day was spent fighting with a very large old angry mixer that does not enjoy my company! As lunch rounded the corner this morning the only thought that came to my mind was, Oh my goodness, baking. I then spent the next several hours on my feet and baking multiple cakes. I've never had to weigh out 7lbs of sugar, let alone 3lbs of eggs. That's a lot of eggs, a crazy amount. Then I discovered that an egg without the shell weighs about 1.1oz. Interesting right?
     
     I have to say, I dislike the large mixer VERY much. This mixer, hates me. I know that an inanimate object cannot hate you, but I swear it does. A while back while mixing a large batch of pizza dough it broke and from then on after it was fixed, it was out to get me.  So after mixing pounds and pounds of dry ingredients and moist ingredients, I managed to bake around 5 cakes from each batch, 5 HUGE cakes. So now we have quite the abundance of cake for this lovely catering event! We are stacking two together to make a two layer cake and tomorrow I am working on some fantastic frosting! We're doing a butter cream frosting for the vanilla cakes and a moose frosting for the chocolate cakes! I swear I could just gain weight by making it!

     Considering I am unable to be boring, not even for five seconds in life. I had to think of something cute to put on every slice of cake for the theater production which we are catering. So we're going to pipe cute question marks on every piece of cake because it's a murder mystery! Ha! Get it Mystery..Question Mark! It's going to be adorable! I'm so excited but oh goodness am I exhausted. Well onward with laundry! I need to finish it, everything I own was drenched in cake batter and everything that goes with it! So stay tuned for more Baking Bonanza!
