You would eat this cake, wouldn't you?I made this cake for a church event for the "birthday" of Relief Society. I rolled out gumdrops (leftover from Christmas, gasp!) and cut them out with tiny cookie cutters. Apparently it was too pretty to eat. At least that's what I'll tell myself. I mean, I know I'm no pro cake decorator. That would be my friend Alison. But I still thought a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting was pretty tempting. The masses seemed to disagree. At the end of the event, less than a quarter of it was gone even though the other cakes were mostly demolished. And I had taken one of the two or three missing slices. I take solace in the fact that the part that was missing was where there weren't any flowers, so that fits with my self-serving hypothesis. In the end, I convinced a lot of women to take some of it home to their hu'bands. When all was said and done, I was a successful cake pusher and there was only about a quarter of it left. This is very good because M doesn't eat sugar. As much as I would enjoy eating most of a chocolate cake by myself (with some token help from the kids, of course), it's probably not in my best interest.
Hey. I will gladly distroy your works of art. For the cause, of course.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I do think it is pretty, and a job well done... it's not pretty enough to NOT eat!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, you are definitely the queen of all candy accessory making! I told TJ about your airhead rainbows the other day when he was trying to accuse me of spending too much time and effort on some frosted cupcakes!
I love that you took a picture of your cake too. I never tasted your cake but it is lookin' pretty good to me right now as I think I need an afternoon snack. My point in commenting is that over half of my cake was sitting there at the end of the night too! I was also a total cake pusher and ended up with 2 huge slices. I should have taken some of yours...):
ReplyDeleteYour cake looks amazing! I think no one wanted to destroy your work of art! In my opinion, I think it's better you got to eat most of it yourself. Yum, yum!
ReplyDeleteI love the flowers and the frosting detail around the bottom that makes the whole thing look like a big sunflower, and I love the new page layout! Good Work!
