I have been planning this cake for months. So, just so you know, this is a post disguised as a Happy Birthday post to David but really it's about the cake.
Asians are not big on cakes. Or baking. At least not in the way that most Americans or Europeans understand baking. Every single cake I've had in this area of the world has tasted like total trash. You know I love so many things about being here, but the quality of baked goods drives me insane.
So, making a real cake is something I've been daydreaming about since before we even got to Thailand. Ovens are a novelty item and it took some time finding one that could work. Then I had to find the cooking utensils (I could only find two small aluminum pans imported from Japan). Gathering authentic ingredients also took some effort.
But it all came together this morning and the cake turned out really well.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAVID!!!! You are my best friend and I'm so glad you were born on this day 28 years ago.
