Oh, the Transformer breakfast-style cake. It was french toast flavored cake (made from scratch) with cream cheese maple flavored frosting (made from scratch with real maple syrup) and cooked, crispy bacon on top (uncured bacon). My husband and I were so proud and it tasted so good.
I dreamed this one up, told my husband and he got excited about it. So we worked on it together one night. I excitedly posted this one on Facebook (husband did too) and waited for the comments and "likes" to roll in. Apparently, no one thought this was awesome since we didn't hear anything from anyone on either end. I still think it is awesome. I dreamed it up and my husband and I worked together on it as a "date" while the kids slept.
You know what the best part is? My husband loves me enough to let me pursue my crazy dreams. He lets me stockpile tons of fabric and vintage clothing because I love it. It is the best to have a husband to share in my excitement whether or not he's truly interested in the thing I've done or made, he's simply loving it because it was me that did it or made it.
I have felt lately that I just don't have much in common with those outside my family. I guess as long as I realize I am awesome, it doesn't matter what everyone else thinks. However, it sure would be nice to have some validation and true friendships outside of the internet. Ya know?

I'm impressed!!! I never saw your post! You are so clever to have thought of the recipe on your own, I never think up anything on my own, I steal all my projects from pinterest!
ReplyDeleteYou totally have a great husband! I think it comes from being a Kearns, cause it seems like all the Kearns guys are super supportive and fun.
I feel like we have a bit in common and only wish we lived a bit closer cause we could get together all the time!!

this cake looks and sounds amazing! guarunteed if you posted this recipe it would go viral on pinterest so fast.
ReplyDeleteI never saw the facebook post either! lol I thought it was so interesting the other day when I stumbled upon bacon chocolate bars at the Haggens store. I think previous posters are right, it would go viral on pinterest if you posted the recipe! Also, keep posting on facebook when you do a blog entry. That way I can catch them because I do read them. ;)
ReplyDeleteSo, I just heard about this, and I am extremely jealous that I do not have a bacon-maple transformer cake. I love it!
