Engagement Cake

The title of this post should actually be “How a Cake Broke my Heart.”

I didn’t get enough time to love this cake. Or take decent photos, really, but that’s beside the point.

I had just declared it finished and whipped out my camera. Then the doorbell rang, and it was time for my darling cake to go out into the wide world without me. Just like that.

I didn’t get enough time to love it. I’m still trying to shake the jilted feeling. I know. Maybe a few Jeeves and Wooster episodes on YouTube might help.

You wouldn’t think it to look at it, but this cake was actually a fudge cake under the surface. This fabulous recipe has quickly become my new favorite of all time in the whole universe cake recipe dot com. And luckily, chocolate happens to be my most requested cake flavor. I love how that works.

    Hi LaChelle,
    I’m commenting on this post because it’s the first one I found. I work with your husband and he brought cupcakes in.

    Of course cupcakes doesn’t really do justice to the loveliness that they embodied.

    More like, as Brian Regan might have said, “They were cups, with heaven in ‘em.”

    Thanks for making those for us! They were beautiful looking and luscious tasting.

    Thanks again!

    I was just cleaning out the long list of page suggestions in my Facebook account, and clicked on Sugar Duchess. You are quite the talented baker! And a great writer too!

    LaChelle~ I know exactly what you mean about a cake leaving the kitchen too soon. You need time to ponder it, and leave the room then come back in to check on it. I have empathy, I completely understand! Thanks for checking out my blog, I look forward to sharing cakes with you!
