the 6 Layer Chocolate LOVE cake!!!

Here it is!!! Our beautiful creation! It is obviously 6 layers (chocolate cake) with strawberries and whipped-cream in every layer, covered with chocolate frosting, and topped with chocolate glaze, grated chocolate, and heart-shaped strawberries. It is all made from scratch.

R.M. + J.C.

I am almost done reading William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet for English Class. I LOVE it! Lots of people say they didn't like it, but I really am enjoying it! I think it is amazing... If you want to like it, you can. People just dwell too much on the fact that she is 13 and he is 16, not really understanding that that was normal back then. Another reason people don't like it is because they don't believe in love at first sight, and so they say, "Romeo and Juliet didn't really fall in love at first sight, that's impossible!" Well, they actually really did! It says it right in the play. It is fiction, and anything can happen in fiction. It doesn't mean it has to happen in reality.

Baked Alaska

Today I made baked Alaska, my overall review of it is about a 6 out of 10. How you do it is you cut off the top of a chocolate cupcake, then put a scoop of ice cream on top (I did chocolate ice cream, mmmm), then you make meringue and pipe it around the cupcake/ icecream. Then you take a blow torch and make it so it is brown all around it. I put little marshmallow-fondant decorations on mine, but you don't have to.
THe first couple bites were, HEAVEN! It had a unique taste to it. Some of my friends say that they didn't like it though, so I guess you either love it or you hate it! Once the icream was all melted though, I didn't love it as much. The meringue and cupcake together was too rich without the icream balancing it out.

IF YOU TRY : A way to improve it would to be to make the meringue less thick.
