It was a two-layer round cake. The top layer was vanilla ice cream, and the bottom was strawberry ice cream. The two layers were separated by a delicious chocolate cookie crust.
The cake had my name written on it, which was awesome [...]

For breakfast, I made my own breakfast sandwich with scrambled eggs, smoked salmon and cream cheese. Yum!

Just in time for tonight’s Top Chef finale, Mindy Montez at Television Without Pity presents “4 Reasons Why Carla Would Be the Best Top Chef Winner Yet.”
