Chrissy And Joachim: Cakes

Shanghai. Style. Sharks?

Cakes

When I procrastinate, or feel sad and/or unpleasant (read: stressed) I sometimes look up pictures of cakes. Saying this just makes me more of a social outcast, but I do it quite often actually. I mean, there are the few Swedish fashion blogs I like to look up, and sometimes a Vegan blog (what they create with "real" food is fascinating!) but recently its been cakes. Its really hard to feel any sort of negative emotion when you are staring at a lovely, beautiful non-cake-story-y cake. They are so light, and delicate. I feel all warm and happy. Which is good. Because when I am happy, I am more efficient.

Though the downside is I get massively hungry. Maybe this is why I have been eating up a storm. I can't get enough carbs or dessert foods! Aha. I have no self control anymore.

Anyways. I can make a chocolate lava cake. I would make them this summer at around 2 in the morning while talking to Joachim via Skype. Odd hour, but maybe I lived off "Spanish Time", though I have never been to Spain. Joachim got all sad and jealous of my perfect little chocolate lava cakes, though I was being rather rude showing off in his face I had something nice to eat. Thats about all the cakes I can bake, though thats really all I have tried. I learned how so on Joachim's birthday I could bake him a lava cake, but that plan fell through. I think we got crepes from Exit instead. Sometimes I will bake Joachim a red velvet cake or a chocolate cake and bring it to school, but thats rare. I make up part of the recipes and throw random bits in! I used to do it more last year, I had more time. But one day he got two cakes in a row, in the form of cupcakes, so hopefully I am somewhat redeemed.
