Homemade icing has been on my to-do list for a while!
I’ve got a 4-day week-end now, so…a cake may be baked yet!

I must put forth an argument for chopsticks as the ultimate tool for both cooking and stuffing one’s face. I can’t think of a single food that you couldn’t eat using them, and you can substitute them for pretty much any other utensil when cooking.

Anda– IM SORRY. I realized I lied ;_;

Also, I entirely agree with Emera. I didn’t have a mixer until a year ago and I was baking everything you could think of without one. In fact, I used chopsticks in lieu of a wooden spoon or whisk.

I used to bake a lot when I was younger, and I’ve never used a mixer before, so I can vouch that while whipped icing definitely takes some elbow grease if you’re doing it by hand, it’s rather therapeutic, too. Work out your aggression etc.

And of course, with your campus, getting baking supplies would take forever. :P That’s a bummer – maybe plan it out for when you have extra time to treat yourself?

kakaner- LIES. There are! I just googles it. Problem is that bakeing supplies require a mile walk to Kroger, and I don’t have a mixer.

Gah, that cake-in-a-cup is so cute! I’ve never heard of that before (obviously), but it appeals to my… uh. love of small things in containers.
