61 days left...

... and I've finally crossed the magical two-month-border. To celebrate this, I've decided to bake an Opéra cake for my upcoming birthday. This is the first time ever that I'll try it, so let's hope I won't tank it completely.

I'll use a slightly different recipe than the one linked (it's somewhat easier, plus in German, meaning that the measures are given in the decimal system, making it easier for me to bake). There'll be pictures, no matter what; let's just hope that they'll be worth viewing.

I was also busy crafting, having finished the first three needle books (well, almost; they need to be filled up, at least partially), and started another 6 Christmas-themed pocket letters, hoping to finish them with the help of my 6th-term students.

So, today's topic will be cakes! Virtual ones, so everybody can enjoy them without a bad conscience. *g*
