| This was essentially the content of my text messages to Boyfriend that night. |
Here’s what the cake looked like:
 |
| It's all lumpy and misshapen. |
And here’s how it looked after I “decorated.”
 |
| This was actually my second or third attempt at writing on the cake. The frosting was not cooperative. |
And here's how I looked by the end of it:
 |
| Frosting everywhere. |
So I decided a birthday cake poll would be fun.
Y'know, you could always buy a cake, then put it in a receptacle that makes it look like you made it. Well, you could have before you put your icing skills on display. Maybe next time, instead of "Happy Birthday", you could just write "It's the thought that counts".
ReplyDeleteI think that cake looks great. Presentation is not that important to me. All I can see is something that looks like chocolate, and that's the important part if you ask me.
ReplyDeleteThe more frosting the better! It looks good to me, I can't do that :(
ReplyDeleteI ate a birthday cake this weekend that was all presentation. It looked gorgeous. And you know what? It tasted like complete shit. I've eaten store-bought that was better.
ReplyDeleteThe moral of the story: it's all about taste, not about the looks.
It's all about the taste.
ReplyDeleteI always prefer ugly, yet delicious cakes. No one needs to feel bad about cutting into an ugly cake. (Also, what A Beer said.)
ReplyDeleteI think the cake looks fine. You did a lot better than I would that's for sure.
ReplyDeleteAll that chocolate is all you need for a yum cake!
ReplyDeleteIt's CAKE!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI went with what the fuck is that thing in the corner because inquiring minds want to know. Maybe baking isn't your greatest strength. Wait! Is there such a thing as a wine cake?
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
I personally love "what the fuck is that in the corner" cake. It typically has "what the fuck is this in the center" which is always a bonus.
ReplyDeleteSo boyfriend is only 5 years old...?
ReplyDeleteHow does a 5 year old have more facial hair than me. This is shameful.
I draw the line at baking the cake. That I can usually handle. And we both love my new favorite recipe - Kahlua cake! Yum!
ReplyDeleteI need this recipe. Please contact me ASAP. Anything with Kahlua as an ingredient has got to be DELISH.
DeletePretty cakes taste like shit, so yours has to be heavenly. Go with it sista!
ReplyDeleteGive me a pot of coffee to go along with it and I would eat the whoe thing! Looks good to me!
ReplyDeleteHave you ever seen Cake Wrecks? Yours is a masterpiece compared to some of those!!
ReplyDeleteUm... so what IS that thing in the corner?
ReplyDeleteI came in after the poll was closed, but I wanted you to know that I wanted to vote for WTF is that thing in the corner. I guessed maybe a cloud, but didn't seen any sunshine, so maybe NO? These are the important questions in life, Gia. TELL US.
