HOLY CHEEZ WHIZ!

So, I bet you're all excited to see some pictures.. Tis the closing of the Weekend Baking Extravaganza, after all... Before, I show ou the result of my labor, I want to tell you EXACTLY how hard said labor was. Here's what went down: I decided to make some citrus cream clouds.. To make these delicious cookies, you need to zest a lime, lemon, and an orange. I couldn't find my citrus zester, so I settled for a lowly cheese grater... BIG MISTAKE. I accidentally grated a little bit of my thumb into the cream. Starting over with a few more citrus fruits (but without my dignity), I managed to make a new batch of cream thumb-free.

Now, this was just the beginning. Later that night, after I had already packed away my baked goods and cleaned up the kitchen, I decided to help my mom grate some cheese for the French Onion Soup she was making. Biggest mistake of my life. I took the band-aid off of my thumb so that I could use it to freely maneuver the grater. The cut I'd received from said grater before was microscopic in comparison to the injury which I subsequently attained. Basically, I gouged a huge chunk out of my thumb. With ZERO dignity left, I retreated to my room and vowed NEVER to use a cheese grater again.. Twice in one night. Rough.

Well, there you have it folks: the number one thing to know about me... I AM A CLUTZ! Not kidding. Name a bone, I've broken in. Name an artery, I've severed it. Name a finger, I've cut it with a chopping knife. Name a body part, I've burned it with a cookie sheet. Name an object, I've tripped over it. Name a liquid, I've spilled it all over myself. The list goes on. And on. And on. And on. And on. And on. AND ON. Here's a tip: never trust me with sharp or potentially dangerous objects. (e.g. scissors, knives, samurai  swords, and staplers. Oh, and toasters.)

Now, for some photos!

Red Velvet cupcake made completely from scratch! (Frosting too!)

The EVIL satanic grater sent straight from the bowels of hell by the Devil himself. (Not that I believe in any of that Mumbo Jumbo)

Oh, crap. I just called the Devil mumbo jumbo. Not trying to offend anyone! KEEP THE PEACE!

Oh, and posing with said Satanic Grater is a hybrid of Parmesan Cheese. It is actually 95% cheese with a dash of human thumb! You can buy it at your local supermarket!

Well, here is a Citrus Cream Cloud.. Delish, but it came with a heavy price :/

This isn't ALL of the baking I did. But this is what I'm bringing tomorrow. Don't want to spoil the surprises coming your way later in the week!!!

OKAY! Well, see you all tomorrow. (Though, I will have less dignity than ever and more bandages wrapped around my thumb than you can possibly imagine.)

Love, love, love!

curiosity kills! annihilates! destroys! slaaaaaaaaaays!
