Tomorrow (today? 6/13) is my best friend's birthday. I'm baking a cake that I've never made before and making frosting that I've never made before. Joy! The cake is a Princeton Orange Cake and the frosting is an orange Mousseline Buttercream.
I like baking, I really do. But two recipes I've never made and having to do them at the same time? Not so much fun. It looks like the cake is cool. I have to go make the frosting now.
Later: The frosting didn't come out right. Somehow I knew it wouldn't. I made a basic buttercream frosting instead and substituted orange juice for the milk and vanilla. I also added food coloring to make it orange colored.
