Wednesday
Rachel's sister's birthday. For the majority of the day Rachel and I worked.
I think I forgot to mention that the only reason I was able to travel down to London was because the University of St. Andrews currently has Reading Week. Reading Week is a time given to students to review class notes and get started on their future papers. It is recommended by the university that students stay on campus, but this isn't mandatory.
So, we read... now and then.
After working it was time to bake for Rachel's sister. During the previous days Rachel and I had gone through a few number of recipes to finalize the menu for the birthday. We decided on Molehill Suprise, brownies, and my new creation titled Heart Attcack.
Molehill Suprise is a sponge cake made with hazel nuts and chocolate chips and topped with a chocolate sauce. Brownies, are brownies. Both delicious.
Heart Attack is a double layer cake that was created from my desire to fashion a double layer chocolate penaut butter cake. First bake a chocolate cake from Peta's cook book. Then take this cake, cut it in half, and separate the two halfs. Nutella hazelnut chocolate spread is then loaded onto one of the halves. The other half of the cake is then put on top of that to make a sort of Nuttela chocolate cake sandwhich. Finally, cover the sandwhich with peanut butter. Make sure to get all sides and try to reach the point where the cake is no longer visible. Add raspberries to garnish. If this doesn't kill you, I don't know what will.
Pictures are on facebook. They'll make your mouth water.
Night y'all.
