Cake Love

Posted on 14. Sep, 2010 by in Housekeeping

My best friend in the world flew up to visit me this weekend, and she came bearing gifts:

Yes, I have the best best friend/baker ever. Not only did she bake me a Twenty-Something Travel cake, she carried it on her lap the entire way from Atlanta. A closer look:

It’s a peanut butter chocolate cake, with chocolate icing. The design was done in fondant. All in all Kim says the process took her a mere 4 hours.

And, in case you were wondering, Twenty-Something Travel is absolutely delicious:

    Your best friend is awesome. A cake done up with your blog’s new design, plus carrying it with her on the the plane, that’s impressive. I’m surprised it wasn’t confiscated at security or something. The combination of chocolate and peanut butter also sounds really delicious.

      I know, I’m surprised they let you take cakes through security! the xray did not effect the taste though!

    That is one awesome friend you have! I’m really impressed with the design and that it was peanut butter & chocolate – is there a better combination than that in this world?!

    Wow! That’s phenomenal! I wish I could make something like that… cakes I make always turn out looking like dog turds. Or looking absolutely perfect and tasting like flour :)

    So sweet, so pretty, so yummy! We just celebrated 5 years of non-stop world travel as a family, can you send her to Barcelona with another cake? ;)

    Whoa, your friend is an artist! AND the cake was made of peanut butter and chocolate? She has incredible taste too. Perhaps she can make you peanut butter chocolate brownies for your RTW :)

    What a great friend! I’ve never had peanut butter chocolate cake but now I’m dying for a slice! Too bad I’m staying out in a jungle in Thailand and only have access to rice and vegetables. Definitely will have to search out cake when I get back to Bangkok :)
