Five Minutes with Angel Cake – a Different Take (cheat) on RegularRandom
This week a slightly different take on the five minutes. I know I usually say “don’t mess with the scene” but how could I not? It has been an insanely (but unfortunately not unusually) busy week at work this week and I felt like a recovery day was required. It was a hot day today…
