laylee at 09:22pm on 26/03/2009 under cake, callum keith rennie, cooking, my birthday!, real life, sewing, workI've just stumbled across the Vintage Pattern Lending Library. I think I'm in love, especially with these. I want a job there NOW!
I'm also in love with the cake I made to take into work for my birthday. Yes, I know, one shouldn't be expected to make one's own birthday cake. However it seems to be a tradition amongst the library fraternity in Australia to supply your own cake on the big day. I've done it with every library I've worked in it would seem odd to not be baking my heart out before or on the day in question. This year my birthday treat for the gang was a chocolate and hazelnut Tyroler cake, made extra special through the use of gluten-free flour to accommodate my colleague who has Coeliac disease. Word to the wise; like most cakes involving chocolate it's even better when it's a couple of days old and has had the chance to mature for a while. OMG, yum!
I'm not so much in love with work at the moment. Sometimes being a boss is hard and I have new found respect for those in charge when, on a daily basis, they are confronted with the neuroses of others and they can't say a thing because it would be high unprofessional, not to mention just plain rude.
Mostly, though, I'm in love with this:
Need I say more?
