No, most likely not. However, probably some time back in September my parents and I traveled to Barnes & Noble because I wanted a book with lots of cake recipes in it. So I told them to get me a "Cake Book." Well they went off finding books of their own until I came across the aisle selling recipe books. I looked through a few, but I was only really interested in one with recipes for cakes. I saw one called "The Cake Book." My mom looked through it but she didn't think much of it and so she started looking through other ones. However I knew that it was the book for me. I eventually convinced them to get it (of course it wasn't that hard).

Since that time I have made three cakes. One was more of a basis for other cakes. It was called "Hot Milk Sponge Cake." There is another recipe named "Boston Cream Pie" that requires the previous one I mentioned which tells me that it would have been much better if I made something more of it. The second cake was more for my mother. It was "Deeply Dark Devil's Food Cake." That was when I ran out of granulated sugar. Since I was still in the mood to make some cakes I searched the book for a recipe that did not require granulated sugar but it also had to be made out of ingredients that were readily available to me. I searched and searched but to no avail.

Then started the process of convincing my parents to make the trek to the grocery store so I could get some more sugar. Now truth be told I could have gone to the grocery store by myself. However I must admit that I am a lazy soul at times and did not feel comfortable traveling through territory with which I was unfamiliar (more of the laziness though). Eventually they went and we had more granulated sugar. Which has led me to the third cake "Pumpkin Walnut Cake" with "Caramel Cream" as frosting. I enlisted my mother's aide to make the frosting however it seemed she was not quite up to the task. The recipe said to let part of the concoction 'caramelize' after approximately four minutes however this process refused to participate which led to less than savory results. I asked for her advice in helping to make the liquid more of a solid but yet again my labor was fruitless. I gave up and poured the liquid frosting over the cake. The cake and its frosting are now upstairs (hopefully untouched) waiting for the frosting to solidify.

I can only hope that my parents do not let their hunger consume them (and the cake along with it). I will see about getting a picture, but I make no promises.

On other news (not that many of you care) I convinced my mom to take a walk with me to Subway. Well more my mother convinced me to take a walk with her but I convinced her to walk to Subway. Why? I wanted to get an application (which I have yet to fill out yet). I hope I get around to it (with it leading to results) otherwise it would not matter whether I filled it out or not. I want a job so i can have more spending money. Unfortunately I am not much of a budget-man, but I do not want my dwindling funds to vanish. So I hope for a job.

Of course more importantly before any of the above occurred I went to B&N with my parents and someone came on the intercom and said "if your car is on the [some]side of the building please move it because there is a car on fire" in a monotone voice. While I admit that this did not lead to panic, using such a monotone voice to alert people of a disaster is not very affective. I got to see a car on fire though. The moron inside of it was stupid enough to actually try and start the engine while it was on fire!

[edit]I almost forgot. If you want any of the recipes shoot me a P.M. and I will send them to you.[/edit]
