In preperation

So I have read and read and read the directions on how to make my next dessert. I will be making a three layer German Chocolate Cake. It's extremly bad for you but the picture looks great!! I will have a picture when I am done with it. I have gone to the store and got everything I need to survive, I mean to make it.

Needless to say if I was not doing this experiment I would have turned the page already. Why you ask? Folding. Folding what you ask? Eggs. Just to make the cake mixture I have to beet 4 egg whites until stiff peaks form and then I have to fold a fourth of the mixturea and then the rest of the mixture. After it looks like it's all bleanded in I can then put it in my three pans and bake. :) Now I know for all you people who already know how to do this are thinking. What's the big deal? The BIG DEAL!! I have never done this before, THAT my friend is the big deal. I will conquer this folding if it's the last thing I do.

Now I am out of town and decided not to bring my entire cookbook with me so I just brought the page that I needed. Which of course if I would have brought the book it would have told me how to fold. No fear, that's what the internet is here for, to save the day. Although I am not as nervouse now I am wondering how long this cake will actually take me to make. I figure folding alone will take me 20min. (Slight exageration I know) I may just time it out of curiosity.

Anyway I will be making the cake tomorrow and putting it together to enjoy on Sunday. Yumm! I can not wait I am getting so excited!!!

  2. I have to say Tiffany that you are a better woman than I am. I would have thrown the book away the minute I saw that I had to make a cake from scratch! If it isn't made by Duncan Hines or Betty Crocker then it's too much for me. You go girl!!!!
