Saturday was my uncle’s birthday.

Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese frosting

This week was exam week. I had two papers, Operations Management on Tuesday, and Media Writing on Wednesday. I’d say that my papers were pretty okay, except that I didn’t really manage to finish my Media Writing paper. Fingers crossed that that little bit I didn’t include won’t really cost me :/

After my paper on Wednesday, it felt like exams were over. I went back, baked some Madeleines (from the really good Le Cordon Bleu recipe), watched a couple of episodes of my Korean drama which I’m currently hooked onto (Lie to Me), and slept like a pig.

With that sort of behaviour, there was no excuse for me not to be baking my uncle’s birthday cake. I was glad that my mom asked me to do so anyway. I don’t usually get a chance to frost whole cakes and baking one and then frosting it nicely for no rhyme or reason isn’t really cost effective so this was a chance for me to practice my frosting skills.
