Giant Baking Adventure: Giant Cookie Sandwich

So after the Giant Cupcake and the Rainbow Pancakes, Lisa and I decided that our next baking adventure would be a Giant Cookie Sandwich. At first we thought about the Giant Donut but it looks like a round Bundt cake and what’s the fun with that? So after a quick trip to Williams Sonoma amidst the ladies who lunch around Beverly Hills, we were ready to conquer yet another territory in the Giant Baking Adventure Land.

Let me just say, I think chocolate has a personal vendetta against me, or maybe I’m just lacking in the chocolate cake department. For some reason, I can never get it right; it’s always too chocolate-y, too dense and too rich. I love light and fluffy chocolate cake, so how come mine never turn out like that?!

I was never one to celebrate Cinco De Mayo because it always seemed like an excuse for non-Mexicans to relive their old Spring Break days in Cabo for one night but I guess they think a little differently in the office. They gave us free chips and salsa (but no guacamole?!) and a live mariachi band came by to serenade us. Pretty awesome! But not as awesome as this guacamole video which makes me never want to eat guacamole again.

You know what’s not awesome? The fact that I don’t get this video:

Does that make me stupid? Oh well. You know what’s not stupid? I’m a guest blogger over at Here’s The Problem where I just write about all the problems that happen on this season of The Hills. See? I have a valid reason to watch the hills. I’m doing it FOR MY FRIENDS.

This weekend saw the follow-up to our Giant Cupcake Baking Adventure with a giant Rainbow Pancake. I thought we were going to make mini pie jars but it turns out that Lisa doesn’t really like pies for some odd reason but seriously, how can you NOT like pie? It’s the most amazing thing in the world. It’s like a giant pastry of goodness that you eat in slices.

So we compromised with Rainbow Pancakes, which was a lot harder than you think. Not only do you have to find a good pancake recipe (which we made from scratch, thank you very much, with milk pilfered from the office kitchen, which I had nothing to do with, thank you very much), but you also had to make sure there was enough food dye to create the vibrant colors of the light spectrum.

But we did it! I also love our new camera.

The difference in the pancakes’ thickness was due to our lack of planning in how many pancake rainbows we were going to make and then ending up just making one giant pancake per color. Yeah. Listen, this is tiring work.

Also, my camera makes Lisa feel very self conscious but how could I resist? She’s so photogenic.

Coming up next month: a giant Oreo cookie cake. We are not kidding. We just have to figure out what to put inside, since apparently all the Fluff we had for our cupcake is all gone.

Here's The Problem

Here’s The Problem: Two of your cutest girlfriends start a new blog, Here’s The Problem, that highlights today’s problems (duh) and everything that’s wrong with them. Why? Because someone has to say it or otherwise nothing will get done in this universe. Since everything they say is pertinent and hilarious, they’re soon to become the new Internet Snarklings (snark + darlings), leaving me cold and alone in the dark.

They already barely respond to my IMs. (Okay, that’s a lie.)

Actual Problem: I don’t get to see them every day like I used to, and my life is going nowhere.

Seriously, though, please subscribe to their feed because they are bound to make you laugh aloud. Yes, I’m talking to you. All 3 of you.
