Because baking is soothing... hahaha. I always feel like shit after my double shifts but for some reason I can still make cakes for things. Tomorrow we are visiting family and having a cook out so I made a checkerboard strawberry cake with swiss buttercream. If I didn't go to art school... I would have gone for culinary. It is kind of like therapy for me. I also made baklava today. My roommate's dad just got surgery for a detached retina and it's sadly already forming a cataract so I wanted to make them baklava too.

So the inside is strawberry cake... (dyed half of the batter so I could checkerboard it).
