So tonight I made my first ever real grownup cake, as in not-from-a-box.
I made this lemon pound cake with a sugar glaze. You put the glaze
on
top of the cake when it's sitll hot, and
it crystallizes and turns crunchy and it's delicious. I wanted
to make Adam a cake for his birthday, and this is the cake he
requested! The cake turned out delicious, but not beautiful. Parts
of the top stuck to the angelfood cake pan when I tried to get
the cake out! I tried to put the pieces back together like a puzzle.
So yeah, it wasn't a masterpiece, but it TASTED perfect!
  
We went over to Mom and Dad's for dinner. They made steaks,
baked pototoes, garlic bread and salad. We had lots of red
wine and some birthday white russians. And some PBR. It was
a fun birthday party. We listened to some tunes, Adam opened
some presents, and we had a delicious dinner. Once we cut into
the cake, you almost couldn't even tell that the top was ugly.
If you want to try making this delicious cake yourself, here is the
recipe:
