And I think Liz Lemon would agree with me.
Okay, apologies for the fact that I’m not walking as slowly as I should be (That’s as slow as my slave driver of a treadmill would go!) and that you can’t see the cake (Dammit, Jim, I’m an editor, not a cinematographer!) AND that all I can think when I see myself on the treadmill is that I look like a GIANT (Seriously, it looks like I barely fit in my cave apartment). Horrifying!
But you know what’s not horrifying? That delicious cake I’m eating! A few weeks ago, I won (I know, right?! I never win anything!) a giveaway on the gorgeous Desserts for Breakfast blog and used my loot (the black cocoa powder, that is – I also won a very pretty photograph, but it didn’t really come in handy or anything while I was making this cake) to make her Blackest Forest Gateau. I really did mean to go all out and try and make little chocolate trees to surround it like she did (isn’t that pretty?!), but, you know how I am, I sort of got bored and I was trying to do it all before Community kicked off my Thursday night comedies and ran out of time and was like ‘Screw it, it’ll still taste good even if it looks like some sort of Frankenstein cake.’
And I was right!
I think the “whoo” is my favorite part. 🙂
Anne–those are some sweet shoes.
See? Yet another reason not to go running outside – avoiding people who make fun of my shoes! 😉
Making fun of your shoes?? I wasn’t making fun of your shoes! I called them sweet, didn’t I? As in…totally awesome (no sarcasm). I love those types of shoes.
Sheesh.
Oh, I thought you were being sarcastic because I totally think they’re weird shoes – they look really big when I look down at them. Like, really wide…
But since it wasn’t sarcasm, thanks!
Impressive.
Very impressive.
It’s ask-and-you-shall-receive around here (unless you ask for pictures of my living room furniture)!
(Also, I totally couldn’t get any nice pictures of the cake – which truly is an ugly but tasty cake – so I figured ‘Why not?’)
That video totally made my day! Liz Lemon would be so proud of you…
Making the video was hard work, too – if only I could have taped that… Woo!
Anne– so glad you liked the cake, and this video is downright hilarious! (go, Liz Lemon & 30 rock!) Would you mind terribly if I reposted it to my blog? I think you’re on to something very smart, eating cake this way. 🙂
I wouldn’t mind at all – go right ahead!
And thanks again for the cocoa powder and the picture (both arrived save and sound) – I think the fleur de sel brownies are next on my list. 🙂
