Tomorrow (Tuesday, December 06, 2011) my senior class was supposed to have a bake sale. I was so giddy, I had bought all my materials, including a new mixer, mixing bowls, and some espresso powder from Williams-Sonoma. However, it was cancelled upon our principal's request.
But, I did not find out until I had finished baking 2/3 of my chocolate quake cake. I was whipping my chocolate frosting when I decided to check the recipe just in case I got it wrong. So, here I was, on the internet, surfing. Tempted, I logged in to Facebook and what do you know? Four notifications. One of which included my friend informing our class that the bake sale is cancelled.
What to do? I certainly couldn't waste all this chocolate. But, have no fear! Stephanie is giving away free cake! I cannot wait to share the cake with my friends tomorrow!

My Take on the Waldorf-Astoria Red Velvet Cake
Last night, I was bored to death because I didn't have any homework to keep me busy and I had just finished my application to Berkeley. I had planned on making the famous Red Velvet cake for so long now but, I have been holding off because I felt that I needed more time and experience and resources.
This was because I didn't have a mixer or a big enough oven (my oven is a Black and Decker hand-me-down that is over a decade old that's 5"x7"). But, it's not like I have anything better to do. So, I took my chances and just made it with whatever materials I had.
I must say, the cocoa makes the batter so fragrant that my whole house smelled like Willy Wonka's factory. Plus, it is bright red, unlike those brownish-red you usually see in grocery stores.
Go here to see the whole process!
