No Julia Child...


Well, for mother's day this year, I decided to try making a red velvet cake. I had a red velvet cupcake in NYC at the Magnolia Bakery, and have been thinking about it ever since. I made some test cupcakes on Wednesday, which were okay. The best part was the home made frosting (First flour based frosting...)! I think the cupcakes were a lot better than the cake I made on Sunday.
Also, on Saturday, I went dancing with my parents. One of their friends from swimming thought they would enjoy it. It was...interesting. A mix of line dancing and ballroom. I guess I'm used to having a partner lead, and not having to remember a set routine. Like many line dances, the moves themselves were easy enough, getting them in the right order was another (most of the people there were old members and already had the routines down). I'll give it another chance before I decide. At least it was fun to watch my parents "dance"! And at the end of class, I was dancing with the teacher as he demonstrated the waltz. Demonstration dance moves I remember how to do!
