What I Did This Weekend

It was Tachyon Publications' 16th birthday, and they had a party at Borderlands books, and I made what is possibly the silliest cake of my cake-making career thus far: a Sweet Sixteen cake. The figure at the top is a rhinoceros at a typewriter (Tachyon's logo). The pink tiara was my own addition.

The innards were double-dark chocolate cake; the frosting was Swiss meringue buttercream, light and silky on the tongue, with a heart-stopping amount of butter.

There were lots of left-overs; you shoulda been there.
