Today has been rather tiring for me .. and i learnt a lot of lesson before the day even began..... just so that i could surprise mom i decided to make a Crepe cake with nutella.. its seemed simple and easy.. and since my mother would know if i did anything before i (very smartly) decided to make everything today morning...
So i woke up at 5:30, after a mere 3 hours of sleep with a headache and eyes that weren't ready to open just yet... i dragged it on till 6 when i finally realized that if i dint wake up then i would have no surprise for mom... so i made the crepes (which was the easiest part of course). i open the new bottle of nutella i both just yesterday to find it half empty...(my mum obviously sneaked into it at some point without my knowledge.. :( ..) and SO the trouble began i was running short of nutella... (that's what happens when you don't make your own ganache and try to take the easy way out)...
And then i saw the chocolate sauce lying on the shelf.. i tried that.... it led to disaster.. :(
Then another brilliant idea struck me .. i decided to heat the nutella to make it thinner... there i learnt my 1st lesson.. you can not change its consistency by heating it...
But i wasn't ready to give up just yet... so i went one step further and decided to make a nutella sauce,... but of course it wouldn't have been SO easy ..I am out of cream.. :(
I, however, had to go ahead an use my extra smart brain .... I decide to add milk... there i learnt my second lesson.... never add milk hot or cold to Nutella.. ever...... i lost half of my nutella... ;(
But i wasn't gonna give up.. i melted chocolate and used that.. :P it turned out pretty good... he he....
And during this ordeal i learnt my 3rd lesson... Just because it looks easy doesn't mean it f**king is.... i remember reading somewhere that the crepes were sliding off.. and i laughed at that thinking.. how the hell can they slide off.. there is something or the other holding the layers together... well now from experience i can say... yes.. it does slide off..
So that's how it finally looked... mum's liked it.. it tasted good.. that means my purpose solved... would i attempt it again.. hmmm.... I'm sure.... maybe if i find someone i love as much as i mom to go through that again.. I'll think about it...
Well that's it for now... Happy Mother's day to all the lovely mother's out there... I'm off to take a nap... good night people...
