Meeting Seven - Chocoholics Anonymous
Date: 8th December 2009
Place: Cake Brigade Member Polson's Unit Base
Members: Polson, Bradley, Faulkner
As the name suggests, this meeting was filled with chocolate based goods. I doubt this was intentional, but seeing as we are all girls in our early twenties, it is not surprising.
After the success of Jon's birthday brownie, we made another from the same sort of kit, which turned out just as well as it had done previously, as demonstrated by the fact it did not even last long enough to get taken home.
We also made some more double chocolate muffins, which turned out much better than the last batch. One even had a tongue, so we added eyes, because we thought it was amazing. Now, when we think of muffins, we think of this cute little fellow.
We are always willing to try something new, so being rather close to Christmas, we tried our hand at making truffles. They turned out quite well, despite the fact they seemed to take an age to set, and were very easy to make. We also got to use the cute mini cake cases, which is always a bonus.
After seeing a cake decorated like a clock a few meetings ago, we had all decided that it would be an amazing thing to make, but until now, we had always run out of time. however, this meeting was the perfect opportunity, as so we made this Clock Cake. As far as I remember, one layer was chocolate, and one layer was plain, of course sandwiched together with chocolate butter cream. We iced it with pink icing, decorated with large chocolate buttons and fingers for the clock hands. Ha ha, fingers for hands.
