taking control

I'm Rae. 28. Living in LA. Loving my cats, derby, movies, scuba diving, baking, skating, tattoos, my life and a certain 3 year old named Cleo. Trying to figure myself and this life out...
Got questions?

Yesterday was my friend Krista’s birthday party. She is big into mixing and creating with food and drinks so I decided to try something new for her birthday cake. I went with a ginger pear cake, since ginger pear is one of her favorite combinations. I followed the recipe, which said it would be enough for a 9x13 pan…lies! It was only enough batter for a 9x9 pan. I decided to just make a second one, even though I had no experience with this cake; it could have been terrible. Well, my mad baking skills worked for me yet again. This cake is awesome. It was moist and spicy, with lots of pears. It was a big hit at the party and I was glad I set aside a piece to take home because it was all gone by the end of the night! I would definitely make this again.
