13. Bake a French cake DONE

Well since my brother Jon has moved back home, we have had the chance to experience some wonderful cuisine. Jon is quite the cook from Julia Childs French cooking to the sushi of the orient. Today we worked together to make my first French cake! It was a Gâteau a L'orange (Orange Spongecake) and surprisingly easier to make than I suspected. We make a Glaçage a la Créme (Butter-cream Icing) that was really good too! So now I can say I have made a French cake! Check!



12. Hold a mystery dinner party DONE!

Okay, I am slowly working through these bucket list items. I have just under 9 months to work on this list so I need to get going! But I have a lot of them that are in the works or half way done so I'm still hoping to get 'em done before my 30th birthday.
So, I finally had a mystery dinner! It was so much fun! Finally got the photos uploaded!
