I have baked 46 cakes from the book:
20 (out of 39) Butter and Oil Cakes
11 (out of 19) Sponge Cakes
6 (out of 13) Mostly Flourless Cakes and Cheesecakes
9 (out of 23) Baby Cakes - I am not counting the 3 frosting recipes in this section
One more cake and I will be exactly halfway done with the book yay!
It has been a really good year. I have learned A LOT! I have grown from not liking cakes so much to loving cakes. I have learned to appreciate weighing ingredients. I also have accumulated a lot of cake pans, decorating tools, 2 oven thermometer, 2 instant thermometer, 5 kinds of sugar, 9 kinds of flour (well, okay some of them are from bread baking ^_^).
Most importantly, I have met a lot of really nice and cool bakers out there who - even though I have not met in person - I am proud to call my friends.
So to Rose, Marie, all my HCB friends, and all of my Rose's forum friends, here's to 1 year of baking, and let's hope the next year will be just as exciting :).
A lot of anniversaries going around today :)
ReplyDeleteI need to tally up my cakes as well.. but I'm sure that I don't have has many as you.
Let's toast to one year!
ReplyDeleteIt's been a fun year, hasn't it? I remember being in the middle of my kitchen remodeling project this time last year and had to wait before I could start baking with you all :o)
ReplyDeleteI counted my cakes from RHC yesterday and I'm at 22. That's only half of your totally :o)
Congratulations! 46!! You have been a very faithful baker.
