Exam related stuff can stress me out, so I decided to busy myself the past couple of weeks, arranging to meet up with friends, sewing, craft work and the most dangerous of all these: cooking. Now my track record for cooking isn't brilliant and usually involves me setting fire to things. E.g. pasta, microwaves, etc. But I'm a determined sort of person, so I 'borrowed' my sister's cupcake book, and decided to make some coffee cakes.

Surprisingly, the cakes turned out quite well!
Coffee icing complete with coffee bean decoration |
Managed to find red and white spotty cake cases too |
Then something very strange happened: I washed up all the cookery things I'd used AND cleaned the kitchen. Am normally very reluctant to do this and leave it for a couple of days before I decide to tackle it. Then realised the amount of coffee I had put into the cake and icing mixtures, PLUS the numerous large mugs of coffee I had had today (to settle my nerves obv) was probs more than my normal daily intake...
So the conclusions of today's experiment are that a) I CAN COOK b) coffee makes all things possible and c) when stressed, desserts are always helpful. FACT
