I've been a little busy with the kiddos, work, TS, and more work! Plus, I've completely a few projects recently. I've made a few Halloween costume hats, a few other hats, wrote my own pattern for some AWESOME fingerless gloves, and did some cooking. Oh, also in there, I had an Envy Purse Party (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Lincoln-NE/ENVY-PURSE-PARTY/203797320615?ref=sgm) for which I made a few snacks and got a free purse just for hosting!
So, on the cooking front - tonight I made what I am going to call Absolutely Almond Joy Pound Cake. It starts with (yes, you guessed it) Tastefully Simple Absolutely Almond Pound Cake Mix. Prepare as directed. Pour into greased loaf pan. Then I topped it with a generous drizzle of chocolate syrup (I think next time I will swirl it into the batter and then add chocolate chips on top), covered that with sliced almonds, and covered those with coconut. Bake in a 325 degree oven for 55 minutes. Cool, cut, enjoy!
Yes, this is very similar to the cupcakes I made last month. However, I think this is easier to eat, and a MUCH faster prep time! Today's was made in honor of my husband's birthday, which was yesterday. We ran out of time to make a cake yesterday, what with life and all happening around us. So, tonight I baked him this cake, which we are enjoying at 11pm while the kids are asleep. They can have some tomorrow.
