What happened yesterday and today?

Delicious looking strawberries from Giant!

Yesterday was a busy day when I started to bake a strawberry cake. In the late morning, I prepared the strawberries, washed, removed the leaves and centre part and put in some vanillin sugar to sweeten them just in case they are too sour! Then I have to bake the sponge butter cake base (not like in Germany where I can easily buy one at the supermarket!). When the cake base was baked and cooled, I sprinkled some 'sahne steif" so as to avoid the cake getting too soggy! Then I arranged the cool strawberries on the cake base. Now I have to prepare some red gelatine to pour over the strawberries and viola...... the cake is ready! Then we had a quick dinner and then headed for our foot reflexology and body massage!
