My ideas:
We’re spending our fifteenth wedding ceremony anniversary at residence on our thirteenth day of self-quarantine for the coronavirus/COVID-19. We obtained married at a courthouse in entrance of no witnesses so I suppose it’s form of becoming to have fun alone collectively! We had plans to exit for a seafood dinner however as Maryland has closed all eating places and companies and now we have already been avoiding contact for the previous two weeks (we haven’t been anyplace however our personal home in 13 days) we don’t actually have any selection however to be at residence.
I’ve already made one cake from pantry substances final week that was superb so I used to be impressed to make one other. I’m attempting to ration out our butter and eggs so making a “wacky” or “loopy” cake that doesn’t use dairy or eggs and minimal different substances made sense. I had cream cheese leftover from making a cake for my dad and mom’ anniversary final month so I iced it however it might be nice with simply powdered sugar or a easy glaze.
