Can't win em all...

Very little else could have gone wrong with this cake. It was supposed to be a "simple yellow cake with chocolate filing, decorated like a pink gift with white trim". $30.
First, I got the cake filled and frosted, which is the most difficult part, in my opinion. And as I was moving it to the decorating station, I dropped it. I wanted to scream! It was 2pm and Brianne was coming at 4pm to pick it up. I wanted to give up.... but I didn't. The cake sucked. I owe Brianne a freebee. I don't really want to talk about it anymore. I hate baking. Happy 60th Andrea.

Leftover Royal Icing


Sophia and I had a great time making little flowers out of our leftover royal icing. We let these dry over night, bag them, and use them for decorations on cakes and cupcakes. It beats spending $3 for 6 of them at a cake supply store!

Sophia pretended to enjoy it, but while her eyes were glued to the television, she concluded that it was "an awkward motion" and handed the pastry bag back over.
