Printed copies of my book! I ordered a few to send to my family. One copy is for my aunties, to whom I dedicated the book. Only 2 out of the 5 sisters are remaining and my aunt, the baker, is already 89 years old. I am excited for her to know how she has passed on the love of baking to me.
I wish I could have more copies printed out but the cost is just too much. Even with the least expensive option - softcover and standard paper, it is still very pricey. The book quality is alright but I find the photos, including the cover, rather dark. (It is not really as bright as it appears in the photo above.) Overall though, I am still very happy to see my hard work published and bound :).
Last Saturday, it was my youngest son's Confirmation. I chose to make him an old-fashioned chocolate cake. I had the book open while I was making it, just to make sure I was doing everything according to instructions!
I reckon I did a fairly accurate job!
Many people are asking me for the recipe of this particular cake. Unfortunately, I cannot share it here as I had already indicated before that it will only be shared in the book. Only fair to those who have already purchased it, right?
