Am I thrilled or what?! First things first, my dad finally finished this!
The cabinet is made of bamboo and the top is soapstone (now for the shameless advertising!) check out more soapstone at shadleyssoapstone.com.
Anyway, As you can see sitting proudly on the countertop is my Kitchen-Aid mixer, a mixer that I adore, a mixer that I have been without for months, I'm so happy!
Isn't is BEAUTIFUL?
So, last night I just had to make something with my mixer, so, I grabbed The Dessert Bible and found the recipe for Basic White Cake (was gonna make yellow cake, but I didn't have eggs, just egg whites, so, I went with white) and though and got-a-mixing, once the cake was in the oven, I flipped through the book to find a frosting and i went with a favorite of mine, Meringue Frosting! Because these recipes come from a book, I can't publish them, but I can tell you that your money would be well spent if you purchase The Dessert Bible by Christopher Kimball for your home bakery.
I didn't just frost them, I also used the filling tip and popped some frosting on the inside for an extra little something.
If you do go and get that book, I suggest you also get Baking, From My Home to Yours by Dorie Greenspan, I've learned how to make countless new confectionaries from those 2 books. I'm off to take the cat to the vet, good day!
