Whisking music

My friend Melanie and I made a 4-layer lemon poppyseed cake yesterday.  Didn't it turn out well?

Isn't it pretty?!?  Okay, fine...that's not exactly how ours turned out.  We blame the heat and the humidity. But it was pretty delicious.  We filled ours with homemade lemon curd for a little extra tanginess, which used the five yolks left over from the cake.  Yum.  Here's the cake recipe, and we used this recipe for the lemon curd.

But during the 3-hour process, we discovered that Canadian a capella folk music makes for excellent whisking music.  The Wailin' Jennys, to be specific.

If you haven't heard of them, you are in for a real treat.  They are something very special--sort of a cross between Ingrid Michaelson and Celtic Woman.  Here are two of my favorites: "The Parting Glass" and "One Voice".  Take a listen.

No, really.

Then picture yourself whisking.  Doesn't it just work, somehow?

Peacefully,

Amy
