N’s first chocolate layer cake
baking layer cake is hard, guys. it just takes A LOT. A lot of what, you ask? A lot of everything. Ingredients. Time. Effort. Pans. Washing. EATING. It takes a lot of eating too.
N wanted to make this herself, but halfway through the taking-out-of-the-oven process got distracted with a friend who came over with a trunkful of free clothes she found some girl giving away on Craigslist, so of course had to go try on secondhand dresses and shirts in the streets, leaving B to take this out of the oven himself. It’s okay, we did the frosting together the next day.
look at how tall this is. SO TALL.

the first piece. It did taste just as amazing as it looked: which was really amazing and almost overwhelming. Eating a whole piece by yourself was a chore.
