Powdered Sugar!!

So I finished sifting 50-60 lbs of powdered sugar. I can't believe I actually finished. I went pretty fast, and it only took 4 hours to do. :-) As I sifted the Costco powdered sugar, there were small boulders of powdered sugar, and I was very much tempted to take one out and let it melt in my mouth, but I decided to be a good girl today.

I do have powdered sugar from one end of the kitchen to the other, and now I need to clean that up. I thought I would take a small break and sit down for now.

I have been trying to plan on when I would bake the couple of cakes I am taking in to show them how to decorate. I don't want to bake them during the day since it is hot enough here anyway. It only got to 100 today. Currently it is 98. I was thinking of staying up all night tonight to bake during the night, but perhaps not.

I plan on making two cakes for them next Thursday to show a couple of techniques. I have been thinking of what I want to do with one of them. I have decided that I would bake a chocolate cake. Yum. Then I would ice it with chocolate buttercream frosting. In the center, I would first ice it with the chocolate buttercream, then I would put some mini chocolate chips, chopped pecans, perhaps some coconut, and then drizzle some caramel sauce on it. I would then put the second layer of the cake on and finish icing it in chocolate buttercream. Next, I would melt some darker chocolate buttercream frosting in the microwave and pour it on the cake so it would look like chocolate melted on top of it.

Doesn't that sound good???? I can almost taste it. I will have to take a picture and post that. Maybe even a picture of me enjoying it. :-0
