I finally christened my new Kitchen Aid that I won at the Sydney Food bloggers picnic. I wanted to make something somewhat healthy so I decided to make this chocolate and zucchini cake and I used this icing recipe. Apparently the zucchini adds moisture to the cake so less sugar is needed. 
I forgot to use the pouring shield so when I added the flour and cocoa powder it flew out and made a mess which I thought was pretty funny. Lesson learnt. I also had heaps of extra icing which in hindsight I should of cut the cake in half and added a lay of icing in the middle. Lesson # 2.
Lesson # 3. I need a cake stand. Especially since I will probably be making more baked treats with my new baby. I still haven’t given him a name. Yes ‘him’. It’s a boy! He is a deeper blue than I originally thought. The picture of Cobalt Blue on the interent is alot brighter.
We had a dinner party last night and our guests brought a lovely bottle of French dessert wine, called Sticky White, by Arrogant Frog that matched the cake perfectly. We also served it with some of our favourite icecream, Maggie Beer’s Burnt fig, honeycomb and caramel. I am yet to get the icecream attachment but as soon as I do then I can make my own icecream and cake, or perhaps an icecream cake and of course a Bomb Alaska.
Just realised I don’t have any photos of my new baby worth putting on here. I will take some more and post them when I name him.
