lsat cake



You know how parents get all nervous for their kids before big events, or during games etc.?
Well I felt like a worried mommy on Saturday.
Trevor took the LSAT yesterday!

Trevor has been studying diligently for the LSAT since June.
I have been in awe of his dedication and how seriously he takes school. I really am proud of him.

To help him prepare the night before I gave him two back massages with my feet. Yes my feet. He likes me to stand on his back and walk around.
We also ate whatever he wanted for dinner, watched a movie of his choice,
&I even let him sleep on "MY" side of the bed.
Yes, Trevor seriously believes he sleeps better on my side of the bed, haha. So if it is all in his head or not, I let him sleep on my side. Anything to help him for the test right?

So when he came home after taking the LSAT all morning and afternoon I had this baby waiting for him as a surprise...
It is called the:
"I am proud of you, YAY you are done studying all the time, Cake!"

I thought it would be a good *siiiiiigh* to the end of months and months of preparation and stress.

Since we both loved the red velvet cheesecake from The Cheesecake Factory where we went for our One Year Anniversary dinner in August, I decided to make a homemade red velvet cheesecake with some homemade cream cheese frosting for him :)
It was soooooo yummy. I think the cream cheese frosting might kill me though. SO bad for you!
We went out for a date night and came home and has some cake... &we may have had some cake this morning for breakfast as well :/
we couldn't help it, &now I think I have a sugar headache.
LOVE YOU TREVOR &SO PROUD OF YOU!


I used the Red Velvet Cake and Cream Cheese frosting recipe from the one and only Bakerella site :)
I didn't have the time or patience to make a cheesecake, so I bought that, but Bakerella has a recipe for that as well. I also decided to leave the bottom crust on my cheesecake, and I am happy I did. Even though the Cheesecake Factory version doesn't have the graham crust or cream cheese frosting, I thought they just made it THAT much better of a cake!
Mine didn't turn out as pretty because I really just need to throw out my circle cake pan... it is horrible (I guess that is what I get for buying the cheap one to save money, wah!) Also the cream cheese frosting since it is homemade comes out pretty runny, if you give it time though it will harden up more as it dries :) YUMMY!

  11. Congratulations to both of you! It was 2 years ago (or a little more) that my Trevor took the LSAT, and then we were accepted to an awesome law school and are living the dream. It is hard... it gets even harder when he is in school. BUT it is worth the sacrifice. I am really excited for you as you make this become reality... together.
