Pictured here is my latest dessert. It is a blackberry jam cake with cream cheese frosting. Everybody loved it. I went and made the frosting from scratch. It was too thin, almost an icing. It just didn't stick to the cake like it should...but it tasted good! If the frosting were right, you wouldn't see the line where the two cakes meet (with that oh so yummy seedless blackberry jam center!) and you wouldn't need to stick the cake in the fridge so the frosting would harden. But Brooklyn loved it, and she told me, "Mom, you're the best cooker ever!"
Next time, I will get the frosting right!
I love cooking with Brooklyn. I hope I am creating great memories for her. She seems to love to cook, and I hope she always does. My mom always made great dinners, but we never really spent time together in the kitchen. I never knew much in the way of cooking, and still don't. I have just now figured out how best to fry an egg, and the perfect time to take the bacon from the pan. I make most everything from a recipe, but I am learning to trust myself a little. Since I have this new, big house, I think I might plan something special for Christmas. I'm already thinking of the menu, decor, and all that needs to be finished before hand. I just love Christmas.
You should see Brooklyn, in her little vintage aprons! Or standing on a chair washing dishes at the sink. When I am in the kitchen with her, I just feel so happy. There is no where else I'd rather be...
