My cake collapsed in the middle but otherwise seems to be doing ok now that it's out of the oven.
Baking is hard.

Haha! I dunno yet, we'll eat it after dinner. I'll update with pics and such after. The simple buttercream icing I made, however, is fantastic.
I think I did an OK job making everything from scratch for someone who has only ever made box cake before.5 -
Hi guys! Happy weekend!
My steps for last week 😊

The exciting conclusion to the cake saga! With pictures!
It came out very moist and chocolatey, as I knew it would if I did it right since I've had this before.
I probably ate an extra serving of icing off the spatula too tbh. -_-
I'm VERY BAD at icing cakes! A huge mess was made. XD
I didn't put enough frosting between the layers and I put it too soon so it melted lol. So you can't even see it. But hey, live and learn.

@ells_runs Very impressive stepping. What did you do differently on Monday that got that really high step count? I need all the suggestions I can get.0

Well if the buttercream icing is that great, it will only compliment the cake even more. You got this!!!

Many thanks to @jugar and @conleywoods for your advice, I feel like I owe it to you that things turned out well with the cake.
And boo to myself for collapsing the second layer with my impatience.
Fortunately caving it in did not change the flavor.3 -
@Terytha that cake looks so good! I think if I stare at those pics too long I'll gain a pound. Lol. You did a great job!!!!4

@evangsimmons170 my family and I climbed local mountain 😊 it was 3 mile away so we also walked there. My Fitbit was charging in the morning and I only put it on before the walk in the afternoon otherwise the step count would be higher 😊 beautiful walk and the mountain was so steep! I really enjoyed it 😍6 -
@Terytha That cake looks delicious - what a great job. I've also put icing on while the cake was too warm - a mistake you tend to only make once.
@Gidgitgoescrazy Your library looks great - I really like the circular rug. And how lucky your moggie is to have such a comfy seat all to itself!
Yesterday was a good day too. I worked out in the morning and had quite a busy day in the house, and cooked for our "remote control dinner party". I made mustard and cheese stuffed chicken breasts - and it seemed to go down really well.
Steps for yesterday were 5656 and I also did a 33 minute workout (Heather Robertson W1D5, Full Body Circuit).
Sunday weigh in:
PW - 179.7
CW - 178.9
We've decided to go out on a little drive through the countryside this afternoon (just for a change of scene), and then when we get home, I plan to make a couple of extra face masks.
Happy Sunday, everyone!

@Terytha your cake looks lovely! My box cakes don't even turn out that nice when I try to layer them lol it always gets lopsided. Great job for a first time homemade cake!!
@ells_runs really great step count! Your low day is one of my high days lol. The mountain climb sounds like it would be so peaceful and great exercise too! Do you have any pictures? My friends and I had planned a trip to the mountains in North Carolina but had to cancel due to the 'rona 😣
@evangsimmons170 I too need to work on the step count. Started working in the office more the last 2 weeks and it is hard to get those steps in when much of the job requires sitting. One way I've found I get more steps is if I plan at least one non-sitting activity each day, even if it's just cleaning the house.
My sister in-law/good friend Kendra and I celebrated the first day of summer at the beach yesterday. It was fantastic 😊
I saw a lot more women wearing 2 piece bathing suits and the body positivity makes me happy. Last summer was the first time in my entire life that I wore a bikini-type swim suit, at first I was so nervous but now I just love it and feel great in it.
I did swim and we had to walk quite a bit to get to the water but my Fitbit didn't count any of it as exercise, I definitely feel tired though!
We look so happy in this picture! I'm on the left.
