My family got together this weekend to celebrate my dad's birthday. I've gotten out of the habit of buying him gifts since he lives in a giant house absolutely crammed with stuff and has the money to buy what he wants. Instead, I bake him something he loves--in this case, his favorite cake.
I felt a little guilty about not making it from scratch, but homemade angel food cake requires an obscene amount of egg whites (a dozen!). I went with a mix but assuaged my guilt by making an incredibly complicated, fluffy and delicious frosting from scratch.
Party foul: The sprinkles were beautiful but added a degree of crunch that angel food cake really does not need.
