Answer: Yes. Proof:
You can tell I missed some photos here and there, but you get the idea. Someday I need to make a time-lapse video because it would be the most awesome thing EVER. Okay, maybe just to me. Continue reading »

So my friends and I ate a little over half of the zebra bundt cake, but then Rachel and Josh went out of town and it got to the point where I wasn’t sure if it was a good idea to eat it anymore. Since the cake hit its one week bakeday today, I deemed it finally inedible which was confirmed by a couple fuzzy spots that had started to develop on the ganache. Ick!
But of course I couldn’t just throw it away…I dissected it!
Still looks pretty! :)
And guess what I got in the mail today??
Thanks for the button, Mary the Food Librarian (and JustJenn)! Mary posted her National Bundt Day 2010 Round Up today, and it’s super impressive. My bundt is in there! :) I can honestly say I’ve never seen so many bundts in my life. Check it out!

Several months ago, I found out about zebra cakes and they’ve been on my to-bake list ever since. I mean, how awesome do they look? If you haven’t seen them before, do a google image search and you’ll see what I mean.
Rachel, one of my best friends, just had a birthday a couple weeks ago. I thought she’d really like a zebra cake since she also likes to bake fun things, and besides, who wouldn’t? Since she teaches 1st grade, she was inundated with all sorts of sweets on her big day, so it’s actually a good thing that she got her cake belatedly from me. :)
