Today on my way home from school I desided to take the red line to Gateway and hop on a blue line there instead of my normal blue line all the way home, because Sara was with me and she only needed to go a few blocks to Yamhill. That and I had 2 cake boxes so my arms were tired and i just wanted to sit. After Sara gets off I still have about 20 minutes till Gateway, well I start talking with these 2 ladies and completely forget I was on the red line. We get to Gateway and nothing even clicks with me that I need to get off there, untill we pull away from the stop and instead of going straight we start to curve right and go over the freeway. Crap! The next stop is a good distance away, nothing ridiculously far, but it still made my trip home longer then I wanted. I can't believe I did that, haha.
I finished up my genoise and buttercream cake, finally! The genoise cake is soaked with a simple chocolate liquor syrup and the buttercream is flavored with a raspberry liquor, the jam in the center and ontop of the rosettes is raspberry as well. I also baked my devils food cake, masked and filled it with ganashe and then coated it with a rum chocolate glaze. We had to then put a border on it and write happy birthday on it, just for pipping practice... which I need. Here are some photos of my cakes today...

OH MY GOODNESS, Bethany! Those cakes look AMAZING!! So professional-looking! Your piping looks excellent. I'm very impressed. :) And that chocolate one is literally making my mouth water!
Bethany! I am so jealous. Your cakes look so good. Keep posting pics of your cakes because I am going to live vicariously through you. I think you should send Nicole and I a cake! The chocolate one is amazing!
