Actually, it is a special one... March 6 is Q-Man's birthday (you can see his life in pictures by clicking on the blue) and March 7 is Miss C's birthday, so we got to make cakes and use a special gadget just for cake baking!
I know it is hard to believe that there is a special gadget just for this purpose... even after seeing the video. And I know that it is really hard to see the gadget well enough in the video to trust that it is what I say it is. My phone's close-up capabilities are lacking :(
Well....
You can trust me.

Just imagine...
How do you test if a cake is done?
–I usually use a toothpick... but now....
Have you ever messed up a cake?
–of course! forgot to grease the pan before... sticks super bad and rips the bottom off. Overcooked because I had a faulty toothpick, and the cake was then dry and burned on the edges.
OK-first of all Happy birthday to your little guy! I'm way behind here. Just managed to spare 4 minutes to watch that suburban housewife video though! Ha!
ReplyDeleteA cake tester....Yep-I think that one would get buried in the drawer! Hope that cake tasted fantastic! Hmmm-cake sounds darn good right now! If only I had a cake tester....
Sometimes I want to test a cake deeper than a toothpick would reach. Actually, usually it's a quick bread. This is one gadget I don't have that I want!
ReplyDeleteI got one for Christmas unmarked as part of our "see who can figure out the random kitchen gadget" game. I opened it and said, "Oh, permanent toothpick." My Mother-in-law was slightly bummed that it didn't take me anytime at all to figure that one out. They are VERY handy in our house.
ReplyDeleteI have one of those too! love it! :)
ReplyDeleteI think I bought it because I was at one of those in home parties where I really felt obligated to buy something but was so completely broke and couldn't buy anything real.....so I bought this. :P Who knew it would be totally worth the $2?
I have messed up many cakes!!!! YOUR CAKE LOOKS AMAZING!! I use a toothpick too. There is a gadget for everything these days:)
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious! What a fun gadget!
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming and helping with our quest for the perfect vacation :). I don't know anyone who's been to Tahiti or Fiji so your advice is much appreciated!!

Hmm... I'm not much of a baker. I tried to bake Zack's cake this year and was so dissapointed with the way that it looked, I decided I'm doing store bought from now on!
ReplyDeleteI actually watched that video. C'mon, don't be so shy. Show yourself to your fans.
ReplyDeleteI've messed up many cakes. I usually grab a butter knife to test the cakes. My toothpicks are reserved for cake decorating.
ReplyDeleteI grew up with my Mum using a cake tester. I didn't know one could use anything else until I had my own home sans cake tester. =P Happy Birthday to Q-Man. =)
