In the past couple of months, I have been doing a lot of Real Estate work. In fact, today I just finished another closing. I like to celebrate my closings with a cake from Southern Sweet Bakery but I have opted to try and cram money into my savings to buy more investment properties.
Since I have opted out of cake buying (although I may reverse that choice, those cakes are amazing!), I baked my own. I used my basic chocolate cake recipe. I did mix it up a bit, I added cinnamon to the batter and even some hazelnut to the icing! As good as the bakery cakes are, this was certainly a nice substitution.
I have really been unhappy of the past few years at the jobby job. I do not like to use the forum to complain so I generally do not mention it. I have been putting in long hours with some outstanding results over the past year and I think there is some light at the end of the tunnel. It is very exciting and I can not wait for the new page to turn.
This cake looks great, Vic! Glad you are feeling better about your job, too.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the closing!!! (You should totally go get a cake too to celebrate--Southern Sweets is the bomb.)
