Cake

I didn't used to like to bake, but in recent months I have discovered it can be fun and creative :) Thanks to a great family recipe that goes back I'm sure for MANY generations (Good 'ol Duncan Hines), it is very easy. Ok, so maybe it isn't my family recipe for sure, but their mixes make delicious treats!

So here is a cake I made for Perfusionist week at work. Our Perfusionists are the people that run the heart/lung bypass machine during open heart surgery. It has a bag of AB+ Red Blood Cells that are hanging on an IV pole, ready to be infused. However, I took a little heat for using that as decoration on their cake, because they pride themselves in not having to transfuse units of blood to patients during surgery. Well, my excuse was it was easier than trying to pump icing onto a cake that would look like their machines. So here is my cake and a picture of the machine I determined was too difficult for my artistic skills.



















The next cake attempt was a birthday cake for Steve for his birthday. He likes airplanes so I made him an airplane cake! It has a bi-plane flying in the air on it:)




So another thing that will make this post interesting is the fact that I don't know how to rotate the picture so you can look at it like a normal person. But it's there nonetheless!

Ok, that is it for now.
