…said my sister about the time she vomited in our cabin after having too much dessert on our Caribbean cruise.

On the theme of disgustingness, see the above photo of the cake I made for my mum’s birthday recently. It is the Darkest Chocolate Crepe Cake by Martha Stewart, which I encountered several years back in an issue of Martha Stewart Living.

Needless to say, this and every other thing I make was gross. I already knew before I finished making it of course, but I said that if it at least looked good, then I was set. Because my mom already went out and bought an ice cream cake and custard cream puffs; I was just wasting my own $15 and sleeping in time.

If only I had watched Martha’s video on the recipe website! Then I would’ve known this cake was based on Madison Avenue’s Lady M Confections’ Mille Crepes, which looks much more edible (i.e. less sweet). And I would have found Cream Puffs In Venice’s post on crepe cakes, about Stewart’s tasting mediocre for such an onerous recipe and a recipe for a cake like Lady M’s! So anger, so anger.
