Welcome to #MadeItMonday, where I post something I’ve made in the previous week, and where you can join in and post something you made too! The rules are easy: post a pic somewhere of something you’ve made in the last week (ish; let’s say in the last month as the hard-and-fast) and tag it. Sit back and enjoy scrolling through all the beautiful things we’ve collectively created, and celebrate the fact that humans can be awesome! 🙂
Shocking, right? O:)
Anyway, these were just a couple of quick ones I threw together for work/my son’s school. And yes, they literally were quick, and yes, I literally threw them together, they are messy and technically very unsound I AM NOT TRYING TO BE MODEST OR MAKE MYSELF LOOK AMAZING I PROMISE THEY ARE JUST QUICK, MESSY CAKES, OKAY?* *panting*
* This because every time I said something like Eh, this was just a quick messy cake, is really nothing, people are all OMG BUT IT’S SOO AMAZING YOU MUST JUST BE SAYING THAT NO REALLY THIS LOOKS LIKE YOU LABOURED FOR HOOOOOOURS. Which is flattering and all, but guys. Seriously. Took me like 2.5 hours *total* for both these cakes, 3.5 if you count having to duck down to the shops for more butter and wait around for the chocolate shards to set. 2.5 hours over two nights is NOTHING. This one took sixteen with two of us working on it. Really. 2.5 hours for two cakes? Yes. That is *literally* a quick, messy throw-together. Promises :3
Right. Now we have *that* out of the way, le cakes!!
Is chocolate mud cake (slight overcooked, grump grump stupid unpredictable oven) torted and covered with salted caramel buttercream, drizzled with salted caramel sauce, decorated with chocolate shards and Lindt balls (the full ones are dark chocolate, the halved ones are salted caramel, naturally). Om nom nom.
What have you made this week? (It doesn’t have to be fancy!!) Don’t forget to tag your contribution, or even better, leave a link in the comments!! I love seeing what inspiring things other people have made 🙂 🙂 🙂
