Mayhem and Moxie, a blog I have recently started following is offering a cupcake give away. In hopes of winning a fabulous prize I am going to shamefully tell my cake wreck story.
I strive to be the perfect mother (strive being the key word). So of course a "perfect" mother would make the cake for her child's first birthday party. I took one cake decorating class and I was a cake decorating expert.
Those of you who have children understand the pressure of birthday parties. The kid don't care, but the momma does. So Jordi's first birthday party was themed Under the Sea. I had made an octopus cheese ball, we had goldfish crackers, everything was served in sand buckets, you get the point. So of course we would need a fish shaped cake. Since I am a cake decorating expert, I knew I could whip this cake out in no time. I had purchased a football shaped cake pan for a previous cake I had attempted, and it would also work as the birthday fish. The baking of the cake went okay (I used a mix - I ain't totally crazy). But then I started decorating the cake. I put the icing on and it would not smooth out. So I added sprinkles. Sprinkles will fix anything. I kept on adding stuff and adding stuff in hopes that the fish would get more fishy. It looked like a football with sprinkles. Who would have thought? I was under so much stress with party planning that I totally flipped out when the cake did not turn out right. Thus the cake wreck. I got mad (and usually I am pretty patient) and slammed my fist right in the middle of the fish football cake. Needless to say I had to buy one that night since the party was the next day.
