Oh, and speaking of things that I did...

This. From scratch. Meaning, no mixes, no tubs. Just flour, cocoa, sugar, butter, and cream. Lots and lots of sugar and butter and cream. It only took me two days to complete the whole thing from mixing and baking to the last little frosting star.


Dark chocolate cake with chocolate ganache filling and buttercream frosting.
Oh, and crushed Oreo asphalt.

Dude, that's AMAZING.

I can't even BUY something that looks that good.

I'd be afraid to even have a slice, to disturb all that beauty and hard work. Crushed Oreo asphalt...pffft. What didn't you think of?

Brilliant! [[YUMYUMYUM!]]

You totally rock! I'm very impressed.

I can do the baking (I do love to bake), but the decorating? WTF? I can't even get pre-made icing in Easy Squeeze containers to go on my gingerbread cookies! That cake is awesome!
