Oh, you thought that the birthday was over, did you? Well, in the infamous words of "Mad Dog" Tannen, you thought wrong!
No, no. We're talking about a guy whose birthday became infamously known as "birthday week" as a child. So I guess now that he's 30, "extended birthday weekend" is a more reasonable way to celebrate. There was a specific request for white cake with white frosting. After doing some fairly extensive research, I found two things: 1) there were no white cake with white frosting recipes from any reliable sources and 2) I didn't feel like spending all day making up for the gaping hole in the white/white cake universe. So I did what people don't normally admit to (particularly people who maintain baking blogs): I use a box. I've found that using a boxed cake and a small package of pudding mix is a good quick fix. Less exciting for me, but a nice alternative when you just want a quick cake. The cake, combined with a basic buttercream frosting (from a recipe that called for a whole 1/2 cup of milk!), made for a slightly dowdy, if not delicious cake. So I'm sure you've all been waiting with baited breath to hear about birthday Extravaganza 2011! Wait. What's that? You haven't been? Oh, I didn't tell you about that? Oh, sorry. If you read a couple days ago about my baking disasters, then you know my brother's birthday had something to do with it. Well. This weekend was all about family celebrations: one for my brother's 30th birthday and the other for my cousin's 11th birthday. Two birthdays. High stakes. For today's party I got to be a spectator, but for brother's birthday yesterday, it was dessert central. Now when you're a guy who doesn't really drink, dessert is important. So, per his request I made cheesecake. And since I got rave reviews for it back in February, I made some strawberry cupcakes. So here's how it all went down: |
