Claudette Colbert Cake

Ooh, I had an outfit a bit like that on Second Life.  Been so long since I went there though I’ll have forgotten how to do everything I’m sure.  I did enjoy meditating by the fountains with doves flying around though.  Oh and I did like my little witches’ familiar – a little owl with a monocle.  Anyhow, I’m too busy with Silver Screen Suppers stuff to spend any time in a fantasy world these days.  It’s non stop!

It was my desk-mate’s birthday today so I made him a CC Cake.  Man, it comes out different every time.  There was a comedy moment where the lettering of JIM in pink pearly edible beads started sliding off the cake – less milk in the frosting next time!  It was Rita’s Angel Food Cake recipe – at which I am improving – dolled up with Cladette’s Lemon Curd filling and lemony frosting.  I did make a classic schoolgirl error though – in my defence it was at about 6.30am – I put the cake in the oven and when I went to check on it about 1/2 an hour later realised that I’d put the GRILL on rather than the oven.  Doh!  I think I rescued it OK though.

I’m getting back into the writing since I got myself Scrivener – ooh what a wonderful thing it is for organising all the biographies and recipes for the Silver Screen Suppers book.  Hope it isn’t just procrastination though…

  1. Baking at 6:30am? Amazing – and I’ve just learnt more two things about you that I never knew before (specifically, you’ve been on Second Life, and that you use a Mac). I’ve never been on Second Life, but I was talking to a friend recently about his trip to Burning Man in Nevada and am thinking that I might like something like Claudette’s outfit if I ever go there myself.

  3. I am almost CERTAIN that you’d be able to go to the Burning Man festival VIA Second Life. After all, you can go and dance in the ballroom of the Titanic if you want to! Go and have a play!
