Ok, so the results are in. The petit fours were a disaster, as I expected. The frosting was great, the cake would have been great except for one thing, I am too impatient when it comes to beating eggs. There is no excuse for this, it's not like I'm doing it by hand or anything. But for some reason, I just can't seem to ever wait long enough, and when your cake is dependant on airy eggs to rise and not a leavening agent, then the results of rushing the process are not pretty. No worries, I am not throwing in the towel, I will try again...sometime.
The race, however, was great! The month or so that I have spent getting back into the swing of running definitely paid off, and I managed to finish the 5K in 29:29. Not a record time, but I'll take it. It was great to be there with my family, and I loved the fact that my cousins, Uncle, and I all got out there and ran together!
