mmmmm....cake!

We did a lot of slothing today (well I did anyhow) and that meant a lot of TV (not really that much, just an hour or so). It was pretty dreamy actually to just lie in bed and watch some mindless TV. I love watching cooking shows...like this and this and this. The problem with watching them, is it makes me REALLY hungry for food I cannot access and food I do not make.

I also look at a lot of cooking and baking blogs/websites. Ones like this and this and this. And that is only a handful of the blogs I visit on a regular basis. I could easily be 400 lbs.

The girls and the boy joined me in my slothing and TV watching and we watched TLC's Fabulous Cakes. But then guess what happened? We were all craving cake! Gabrielle asked if we could bake a cake and how could I say no to that??? So we made...
