Low Class Ink

So the other night I was seriously craving cake and couldn’t decide which was less work - baking a cake, or making a late night run to Ralph’s. Turns out, baking a lemon pound cake with lemon icing ain’t so hard. Recipe here (but it needs a helluva lot more lemon extract/lemon juice).

Behold: a layer of dense French chocolate cake sandwiched between two layers of yellow cake, baked from scratch, garnished with rice krispy sesame seeds, lemon icing cheese, Fruit Roll-Up relish and ketchup, plus shortbread fries with lemon icing mustard and cherry pudding ketchup.

The In-N-Out theme was a last-minute inspired touch. The girl behind the counter thought my order was plenty strange, “Two cheeseburgers, animal style, a large chocolate milkshake, and an empty fry holder, no fries. Actually, wait. I do want fries. But give me the fry holder separately. I’m working on a… project. Thanks!”

I’m exhausted. I spent 5 hours baking yesterday, but it’s the most fucking awesome cake I’ve ever made. Happy birthday, Mr. Ink!
