Making a Mess

You can always tell when I've been baking. There's somewhat of a mess. Powdered sugar mixes with powdered cocoa. Multiple sets of mixing spoons, bowls, spatulas (spatulae?). The bottle of vanilla, cap missing, is behind the container of salt, its lid up; the bag of dried cherries sits next to the bag of confectioners sugar; the two glass bowls that held mixed coffee mixture and eggs (separately) are on the stove; and, of course, the big mixer bowl and its attachments, awash with the remains of the mixture.

The result:

Not bad.

The one on the lower left is what happens when you're thinking of something else and let the edge of the baking tray catch the edge of the oven as you're lifting them out to admire. But its still edible!
