Goddess of Domesticity

Okay, okay, maybe I'm not up to Goddess snuff yet... but I can try!  This weekend I threw a party for myself, because I do things like that.  Some people thought I was crazy because I baked mostly everything that was served for my own birthday party.... but the truth of the matter is that I LOVE cooking.  Particularly with the arrival of my beautiful KitchenAid mixer:

Chocolate Decadence Cake - it's not a sweet cake so I wanted to add powdered sugar.  I was just going to sprinkle it on, lamenting that I did not have any stencils and did not want to make any doilies when my roommate suggested using a cookie cutter.  I only had a Mickey Mouse one.... so then I decided to cut some strawberries and make it a Minnie Mouse!

Me happily eating my Chocolate Nutella Lava Cookies...  I think by far my favorite dessert of the evening!

This is the gooey wonderful center.

White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake


Me, laser eyes, and my two cakes!
So, should I add these to my generic prospective wife application and portfolio?  (Obviously I would have to tailor each resume, portfolio, and cover sheet to the specific guy but a generic one is always a good base, right?)
