...when my brother proposed to his girlfriend. I was watching the Food Network Channel and staring in awe at the amazing cakes being produced on the show. Naturally I thought, "Hmmm...I wonder if I can do that." I have never been much of a baker, considering the first time I tried to make my grandmother's chocolate jumbles I used coffee grounds because it called for a cup of coffee, but I was up for the challenge. I made a simple vanilla cake with a blackberry filling, but I designed the cake in the shape of a ring box for the special occasion. The process took far longer than I imagined. I guess I'm truly an optimist or I'm just really really horrible at estimating time. The cake was delicious and the design, though flawed, wasn't half bad. I decided that practice might actually make perfect, and I knew that this wouldn't be the last cake I made.
