March 30: Week 8 wrapup

Had an unexpected stamina test this week:

That’s a bit of a challenge. All the happy rainbow colors make it easy to underestimate: but there’s enough cream here to choke a cat. Pacing is important - there's a mountain of icing, if you go too fast you’ll probably run out of steam and won't be able to finish.

This might be a rest week but that doesn't mean you need to take it easy… the expression "this will be a piece of cake" does not apply to this piece of cake. It's Red Velvet cake, and there's enough red food coloring here to cause a kindergarten riot. I made snide remarks about the amount of buttercream earlier, this has more. Ended up jittery all afternoon. 100% worth it, would do it again.

Rest weeks - best weeks.
