I realized recently that I have an issue when it comes to cakes (it's probably the reason I rarely make them) in that I am compelled to prod at them while they are hot from the oven. Invariably it leads to some nasty looking results.
Well, that was the old me. The new me is patient. She has faith in the cake's inherent ability to spring from the sides of the pan as it cools. She leaves the house and runs errands while it's happening which - at least in this instance - yields outcomes like this:
If a cake could be radiant, this one was. And so yummy, it gave me a big dose of Xmas spirit.

The top of the last cake I made looked like a mudslide because I was too impatient in the cooling process. This looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteYummy!!
ReplyDeleteAs a child I adored the look of Bundt cakes; when I was old enough, a Bundt pan was the first cake pan I bought. Your cake looks delish!
ReplyDeleteI am totally impressed. With this and with your sewing progress. :)
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to stop by and say merry Christmas - I hope you have a wonderful day! (I guess it's still three days away for you? For us it's the day after tomorrow).

ReplyDeleteIf I so much as move an inch in the direction of your domestic capabilities this year, I will be very pleased with myself.
ReplyDeleteNothing is more perfect than a simple bundt cake... I just got myself a new nordic ware mini bundt cake pan.. and I get wait to give it a whirl... the cake looks fab.. bet it was delish.
ReplyDeleteNicely done! I think I need to go back something. I will even try to practice some patience. :)
