I do not even have my air conditioner on today it is nice outside. I was ironing and I said to Holy Spirit I think I'm going to leave my orange top to iron for another day. He replied it is best to complete the entire task and not leave some for another day. I then completed the task at hand and ironed everything. He really is a God of order isn't He.
So, I baked, assembled and frosted the cake, and I will not make this again. It sounds good in theory or when you read the recipe but in reality ... it is messy to put together. Maybe this is not the time of year to bake this cake. My instinct was right the first time I chose the coconut cake mix over the banana. It is the pudding you use for the filling with fresh banana slices on top of that. Then the frosting is not a firm frosting at all. I refrigerated it and then brought it out to cut a few pieces to give away. As I was cutting it some of the layer in a section began to slide due to the pudding in between the 2 layers. I cut a few pieces for the front office where I live but I knew I had to put the plate of cake slices in the freezer so I would be able to transport them tomorrow to the office. I cut off another nice sized piece for my neighbors, into the freezer that went also. There is some left in the refrigerator for a family in my building, they are a young couple, and they have a toddler. Maybe they would like some in celebration of Father's Day.
The next challenge is I am meeting a friend at Quinn's Pub tomorrow for dinner and I am going to the Savory Spice shop first. One of the local news talk radio hosts raves about this restaurant so let's give it a try. How will this cake ever survive me transporting it? I placed that in a plastic container and put that in the freezer too. You do not know if you will like or not like something if you never try making it right.
I don't think I will be going to Sprouts Market for a while. When I was there last, they increased their pricing I thought by a lot.
