Easter cake

I made a rainbow cake for Easter. I got the idea here.Lots of bowls were necessary to mix the colors.Cake in the pan. As you can see, the rainbow is pastel (not as bright as possible) and a bit misshapen. A crooked rainbow.Chocolate frosting, chocolate chips. I cut open the cake to get a layer of frosting across the middle. This cake celebrated many things, including the conclusion of my no-chocolate Lent 2009.

This post's theme word: eclogue, "a pastoral poem."

Milton

Graffiti in the bathroom at James Joyce:
They swim in mirth, and fancy that they feel
Divinity within them breeding wings
Wherewith to scorn the Earth.
- Milton
A very pleasant thing to read. And underneath? A string of curse words in sharpie, along with some nice and some not-so-nice comments about mothers.
