Baked

I don't bake. In the 17 years that I've been cooking, this is literally the third time I've ever baked anything. All three times happened this year. This is also my first cake ever. I don't know why I don't bake. It always seemed daunting. I have to blame Clotilde Dusoulier for inspiring me to try it. This is the title recipe from her book that I bought. After making this cake, I've decided that I might make a decent pâtissier. It was amazing. I made it for my big family dinner. I think I need to bake more often if only to make my house smell like chocolate or better.
