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?!

Anyway, we made some mistakes along the way (i.e. forgetting to tap out the air bubbles in the batter, not using room temperature butter, etc) but it was still GIANT AMOUNTS OF FUN.

I also think we didn’t let the cakes bake long enough. They looked like yummy brownies out of the oven and though we let it cool completely, the cake was still super delicate. Our bottom cookie kind of fell apart on the plate, but we managed to squash it back together. Plus, who cares. It was the bottom cookie. No one cares about the bottom cookie. No one.

Then we made the icing. I almost barfed thinking about how much butter and sugar went into this thing, but after we tasted it, I forgot all about my butter-and-sugar woes.

I mean, how could you when the taste of pure deliciousness was making its way around your tongue? That sounds gross.

Lisa was busy making plans for that night like the social butterfly she is, but she agreed that the frosting was yummy.

And then we iced away. We ran out of powdered sugar so we made less icing than what the recipe called for, but again, who cares.

Lisa was very good at getting the cookie cakes out of the pans in one piece. It’s a valuable talent. We just had issues in getting them onto the plate in one piece.

Let me tell you. Did you know that the word “cookie” upside down spells “cookie” backwards? It’s because all the letters are symmetrical. That was a mind blowing moment when we realized that. I mean, think about it. If you spelled my name upside down, it would read EYOW. CRAZY.

And then after a lot of gasping and nail biting, we managed to smash the two cookie cakes together to make a GIANT COOKIE SANDWICH!

It’s so nice to have such photogenic friends.

Then we sat around our beautiful creation, philosophized about life (as Lisa said, “The world is just like this cookie sandwich. The cracks are where we have all the earthquakes”…or something like that), nibbled parts of the bottom cookie (because no one cares about the bottom cookie, remember?) and talked about the Bitch Book. Apparently it’s this book where you learn how to be a bitch. I know most of you guys would say I wrote that book, but shut up. I’d like to read this book one day. It sounds amazing.

THE GIANT END.

PS. Any ideas for our next Giant Baking Adventure?

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: 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.
