Today we celebrated Kristen's birthday. She's an assistant food editor in the Kitchens. Since she and her boyfriend keep bees (I think "keep" is the right word; "raise" sounds wrong) Andi had Kathy, a Betty Crocker Kitchens Technician, make a Chocolate Honey-Dome Cake with Chocolate-Honey Glaze to celebrate. You can find the recipe here. Kristin was surprised (her birthday is actually next week) and we all got the opportunity to indulge in a little chocolate. Definitely a win-win situation.
Kathy found that some of the frosting fell off the cake when she applied the pecans. Instead of tossing the frosting out, she make it into truffles. Now that's my kind of reuse/recycle.
In talking to Kristen about bees, I learned some interesting facts. Did you know you can order bees online? They get sent through the regular mail and 2,000 to 3,000 fit in a shoebox-size container. I'd hate to be a mail carrier responsible for that package!
