bi rite re-runs

So it's been a while...a really, really long while.
And I'm just going to apologize for that right here and now. With all of our summer laziness, also came with the neglect of this beautiful food blog. What did our blog do to deserve such neglect?! Nothing, I tell you, but it's time for me to give it a little refreshment.
With all this neglect of updating our blog, there was another thing I was neglecting---visiting bi rite. yes, thats rite folks (ha), I probably hadn't been to bi rite since the last bi rite post I made on the blog!!


But I finally had a relapse; yesterday, after a long excruciating gymnastics workout, I made my way over there. Unsurprisingly, the line was incredibly long, but I had no hesitation to jump right in there.
After having my mind set on ordering the good ol' brownie sundae, my mind was forever changed when I got closer to the front. I saw they had a new sundae in store; "Breakfast at Tiffany's". Sounds rather elegant, yes? Not sure how an ice cream sundae can sound elegant and dainty, but bi rite was somehow able to do just that.
It was composed of ricanelas ice cream (one of my faves: cinnamon and snikerdoodle bits!!), chunks of home made coffee cake (sensing the elegance yet?), drizzled with caramel sauce and topped off with their house made whipped cream. YUM.

I'm pretty sure that if i hadn't just worked out for 4 hours, it would have been much more difficult to finish this thing. What confirmed this belief, was that the cashier asked if i wanted a second spoon. Like, he thought that I was planning on sharing a bi rite sundae with someone else. He didn't know that my true plan was to eat it on my own. I gave him a laugh and said no (awwwkward for him!!) And then went on my merry way to finish the sundae. In fact, I polished it off to the very melting parts at the bottom. 
It was very satisfying.

giving back

Gifts for the kind people of the world. Its certainly not christmas but I was in the mood to give back today and so i made an angelfoodcake for one of my friends fathers. This man is so great. He drives us everywhere (more than my own parents) and is always making us food and sining along to the radio and GETTING ME MY WRIST GUARDS. 
He drove for a total of an hour and a half to save me from getting stress fractures on my wrists and allowing me to compete beam last friday at gymnastics finals. The man is a saint.
In conclusion, I made him this cake. Angel food, his favorite kind. And my least favorite to make because egg whites take SO LONG to whip up into nice foamy peaks. But I did, and it turned out well...I hope.




Updates on the taste as well as some nice photos of it being served to come, after I give it to him that is.
