What started out as a disaster...

Actually turned out pretty Amazing. This is a cake that my best friend and I made for her boyfriends birthday in May. Pretty simple cake, we just used the funfetti mix from the box. It usually turns out quite well, however this time we had a bit of trouble. At first glance, a cake in a box has to be the easiest thing to create. All you do is add eggs and oil and water generally. I blame the near failure of this cake on one of two things: first, my best friend is scared by the "white stuff" in eggs. So she proceeded to pick most of it out, as well as a bunch of the yolk. It was later determined that picking these things out of the egg when added them to the cake may make them less fluffy and more sticky. This is mostly a theory though, and has yet to be tested. My other theory is that cakes should never be baked in pans larger than 12 x 12 because then they get stuck to the bottom. Also just a theory, but I tend to use it as a rule and don't own any large cake pans.

Once half the cake was out of the pan and the other half fell in pieces, we became a little depressed. It looked as though the cake would not recover but I told my best friend, don't fret! We can stick it back together with frosting! And this is what we did.

This is a character from a cartoon network show that I have never seen, but my best friend and her boyfriend think it's amazing. I don't ask questions, I just make the cakes. It took some time to construct him, because of all the frosting we had to keep freezing it to put more frosting on but in the end we think he turned out quite delightful. My best friend and I are thinking of opening our own shop were she would bake and I would decorate. Judging from this cake it might be a success! All in all, the cake looked great and tasted even better.
