Making Cakes for Mum

Mum got older today.

I felt bad that she's no longer 23, she's 24 already, so I decided to get STINKY to help me make cakes for mum to cheer her up. I'm such a gooooooood dogter!! (mum: yes.. just ANNOUNCE it to the world Sunshade............)



STINKY and I each picked four of our favouritest ingredients that we thought would make the perfect cakes. (mum: key words = "they thought"...hehe)

These were my four picks: minced pork meat, rice flour pizza bread, cubed yam, and MARSHMALLOWS!!!!!


These were STINKY's four picks: oat flour, eggs, cheddar cheese, and cream cheese.


ALL SET!

Ready to GO!



First, we poured some oat flour in the mixing bowl,


I don't know what happened, some flour flew onto my face. They FLEW!!


People think we make big messes, but at least we clean up after our messes.


(mum: both of them loved the plain oat flour LOL!)


Next, it was time to pick the perfect eggs,


STINKY wasn't very helpful, so I had to do the picking.


I picked one. To ensure it's freshness, I thought I should taste it with my SuperDALE mouth. But, my EVIL mum said that wasn't necessary.


How ungrateful! There I was putting myself in potential danger should the egg turn out rotten and she didn't appreciate it one bit.

Being the caring dogter that I am, I still used my nose to make sure the eggs were fresh.


Thank doG the eggs were fine.

Here I was tasting to make sure the eggs and the flour were mixed and stirred to perfection.


Then it was time to add in minced pork!!


Mixed thoroughly,


We put the rice flour pizza bread on the oven pan, (see, STINKY never pays attention!)


Here I was spreading the meat on top of the pizza breads,


Now, here is one thing to remember for all you young cooks out there:

The MOST important aspect of being an IRON CANINE-CHEF is to keep "tasting" throughout the entire cooking process. The reason being, it is the only way you can ensure a high standard is being kept.


By now, I'm sure you all have noticed my close relationship with the ingredients I used.


(mum: uh huh.... if I weren't there to supervise, there wouldn't have been *anything* left to cook!! Look at the half eaten pattie on the second pizza bread!)



STINKY picked cheddar cheese as one of his picks even tho he had cream cheese already. So I thought the cheddar cheese was a bit redundant,


So I took it away................


But of course, EVIL mum said STINKY should have the right to use ingredients he picked.

GEEZUS.. was just trying to watch the calorie for you you know mum?

Since we had to use the cheddar, I gave it another taste test,


Sliced it, and placed the slices on our....er... mum's pizza cakes,


All ready for the oven!


Last inspection before the pizza cakes went in the oven,


Last minute, I decided mum really didn't need that many slices of cheddar cheese. I didn't want her to get high cholesterol or fat you know what I mean??

So I, unselfishly, took a slice away, all for mum's good health....


As usual, my efforts and good intentions got over looked. The EVIL, ungrateful mum made me put the slice BAAAAAAAACK!


Shouldn't I be in control of what I wanted on the cakes since "I" was making them for you mum???

(mum: but that was Jaffa's ingredient!!)


HMMMMMMPH!

Finally, the pizza cakes arrived IN the oven. (mum: safely!!)


The wait began......


Being the smart, efficient gurrrrl that I am, I thought I would start to get the decorations ready. So I grabbed MY bag of MARSHMALLOWS!!!!!


I LOVE marshmallows, can you tell?? You want some??


COME GET IT!


OH, and GOOD LUCK!


STINKY failed miserably LOL, but he still tried. He always does, what an easy target!


Yup! It's MINE! Gave up already??


It was time to open MY bag of MARSHMALLOOOOOOOOOOWS!!


FINALLY!! It's opened!! (mum: and half way eaten....)


EVIL mum took the bag away. Said I ate too much already, bad for my teeth, bad for me, blah Blah BLAHHHHHHHHHHH..........

So I said GIMMMMMMMMMMMME!!


The world works according to ME of course!


Pizza cakes were out, they were OUUUUUUT!!

We started to smear cream cheese all over the top of it,



Put MY marshmallows and MY yam cubies on top,


Ready for serving!!


I guess mum felt guilty about all the things she'd denied me earlier, so she decided to reward STINKY and I for our hard work on the pizza cakes.


Mum ate the marshmallows and we got the rest!!!!!


HAPPY BIRFDAY MUM!!

Your cakes were *VERY* yummy BTW...hehehehe!

LEFT OOOOOOOUT!

Okay... so I know today is STINKY and STINKY #2's B-Day. I get that. What I don't get is, how could I have been LEFT OUT when I was the one who went with mum to pick up the cakes!!!!

Yes, I was left in my SunshadeMOBILE while the STINKIES pawtied on in MY yard. Not only did they eat the super yummy cakes in MY yard without ME, they peed and pooped in MY yard!

This was my first reaction when mum first let me in MY yard AFTER the celebration. Watch how carefully I sniffed every inch of MY yard. They think just because I wasn't there, I wouldn't know what they'd been up to??

Yes.... my nose has NOT failed me yet.. I smelled crumbs of Venison Carrot Cake, and Turkey Chedder Cake... hmmmmph!




Why do they always take over MY yard, MY house????

EVIL mum said the reason why I couldn't be with them while they were eating their cakes was because one growl or bark from me would stop both of them from eating, which meant I would end up eating all THREE cakes. Dogsonally, I don't see ANYTHING wrong with that even tho technically, my birfday is not for another 12 days!

(mum: this girl loves food a little too much....... "food whore" is an understatement LOL!)

Finally, mum brought out a little cake for me......


Now, take a look at the size of MY cake,


and compared it to the sizes of their cakes!!!


Does that seem fair to you??? I'm older, bigger, and yet I get the tiniest cake???

But, I sucked it up. It's better than nothing I guess... I even put a smile on...


Even tho it was small, I can't deny the fact that it was GOOOOOOOOD!


Since the STINKIES celebrated without ME - their perfect Aunt, I taught them another lesson,


I hope there won't be a next time, STINKIES!


I started out by licking the icing off...slowly...


Prolonging the lesson.... while putting up my content face...


Unfortunately, I just couldn't hold back anymore.


I grabbed the entire cake and ate it MY way.


(mum: never been a delicate eater....LOL)



After the cake, I exercised with my soccer ball to burn off the excess calories from the cake.


Then I played my favouritest game in the whole wide world with the coolest hooman pup, Aaron!


Aunty Maureen was asking mum if STINKY dominates me while we're outside of the house because STINKY was biting me, running into me, land sharking me and I wasn't disciplining him. Well, the truth is, I'm still the alpha B*TCH outside. It's just when we're out, I see him as part of my pack, so I'm more tolerant of him. Plus there are so many things to see and sniff, I don't want to waste my energy on a stooopid land shark.

SOOOO.... the STINKIES had a great birfday.... and for the first time in my life, the world was NOT all about ME.....

Does that mean the world is coming to an end??
