ma boulangette, susan (the ice cream edition)

yes, you're looking at a cake.

yes, this is an ice cream cake.

of course, it's been created by susan.

it was created all in the name of my boss...it was his birthday yesterday.

sidenote: i've decided to call susan "la boulangette".

i might be mangling my french, but a boulanger is a baker...so, i'm assuming that one of a petite stature would be deemed a "boulangette"...

whatever. if it's wrong, i'm sorry, france. i didn't mean to murder your language...in fact, i think it's a very nice language and i promise to learn it inside out...as soon as i can get my hands on the rosetta stone...

i couldn't keep up with my french classes. (i'm a horrible person, i know. so non-committal.)

...but back to more exciting things. the cake.

imagine an asteroid made of chocolate and a planet made of vanilla...a meteor shower comprised solely of thin mints, space dust made of cocoa powder, two rocket ships (one made of chocolate ice cream and one made of vanilla ice cream) and a very large space capsule lazily floating around filled with homemade whipped cream.

...now...

imagine if, by some catastrophically aggressive gravitational force, all of these things came crashing together in an deliciously epic (delepic!) "big bang" moment.

...leaving only rays of happiness in its wake...

and wishes for a siesta.

this is how i believe this cake came into existence...

except susan was the gravitational force and all the components were not in space...the "big bang" was the moment susan decided to put everything together.

...in other words, i just really like making up stories to try to express how i feel about certain foods.

this cake was like a planet.

...with its sheer existence, it could support a small race (in this case, a boutique company) for many years (in this case, the rest of the work day), while keeping them happy (in this case, awake).

can i just take a moment to say that i'm fantasizing about this cake as i write this post?

yeah. it's true.

in short, the boulangette successfully strikes again!

this time...with ice cream!
