New Camera and Cake

I got a new camera! It is a Canon Rebel XS. I am learning how to use it . . . quite slowly actually. Anyhow - during the learning process I have been taking lots of pictures of cake. I know that is weird, but it gives me some practice with exposure, and ISO, etc. I have been making cake because my friend Stacey at work has been taking a cake class and she has inspired me. The funny thing is that I don't really like cake all that much (at least not enough to eat a WHOLE cake) so I make it and then give it to other people. :) The first one went to Mom and Dad and the second one went to work. Aahh well, at least they served their purpose, right?

This one was with my old Kodak digital.



With the new Canon - this was what was left after my get-together the other night.
I took it to work - it was really a big cake!



Besides being a big cake, it was also pretty good. I used Mom's recipe
for Hershey's Perfectly Chocolate Chocolate Cake. When I took it to work today the
reviews were good!
