Orange Chiffon Cake

Hello this is my blog so I'm going to vomit emo all over like all depressing bloggers do.

It's just one of those crap shit week where everything goes wrong. Like some kid giving up his seat to you on the train because you look like you're pregnant, or your usually banana-like stools become hard as rocks and you start warming up the toiletbowl, or it was incredibly sunny the whole day and when you're about to leave the office it started raining cats and dogs, or stepping onto the weighing scale to find that you weigh as much as a fucking cow. Not like they happened to me, but imagine the lousy feeling of all that happening with multiplier effect ._.

So here's some cake.

I want to bake but I don't wanna eat my bakes. Chiffon cakes have always been my safest bet that someone else will finish it before I re-gain my appetite again Added some alcohol in for the kick and to make people drunk enough think that my cake tastes extra good.

My baking procedure is as messed up. Forgotten to add the Grand Marnier till I start folding in the first batch of meringue. Added too much liquid to the batter and the cake refuses to stick and fell out from the molds. Epic fail for a chiffon cake which is supposed to be inverted after baking.

Nevertheless, they're still edible...I guess.
