Your cake actually still looks edible. Did anybody try any of it, at least? Maybe if you start a new tradition where everybody has to eat their dessert blindfolded, you’d do better.

I tried to make a cake with layers and a Boston cream filling and it sounded so delicious and looked fabulous in the picture but when I actually tried to put it together the EXACT same thing happened. With the squishing out the side and the mess and the awfulness. It did taste good though. Kind of.

You served store-bought porn at Easter?!? Maybe I’m a little old fashioned, but I only served homemade to family. I’m a bit disappointed.

This post has touched me.
I go thu the SAME THING. The naive optimism, the effort, the frustration, the anger. People are kind but they just don’t understand: none of the tips ever work. We follow the recipes EXACTLY and yet we still end up disappointed and sticky…

We should take a class-isn’t there a school in these parts?…….. Penis and Dolphins, or something?……..

…..no!- Johnson and Wales!..THATS it.

We’ll take a little class just as soon as the nannies arrive .

I dunno Crissy, it looks delicious. It’s a little messy. Who gives a shit? My mother used to say that it all gets mooshed up in your stomach, anyway. And I don’t usually quote my mother.

Stoogie, yes. It was. My dad particularly enjoyed Sour Ass Angels #47. He said it was the perfect accompaniment.

Well, I’m no expert, QOFE, but it seems to me that if you had let it chill in the fridge for two hours and, while it was cooling, gone to a bakery and bought a cake, everything would have worked out perfectly. This works for every cake you ever bake, so write it down somewhere.

I hope at least that the porn you had with the cake was good.

Freeze the filled cake for awhile before you frost it? I love making cakes from scratch even though they never look that great and are rarely light and fluffy. I’ve made a few kids’ birthday cakes that had to be propped and staked with toothpicks and skewers so the layers didn’t slide into a giant pile of goo. I think it’s supposed to be the thought that counts anyway. And as long as the frosting tastes good, it’s ALL good!

Okay, but I did chill the filling for several hours and the cake was also at room temperature. What else you got cake experts?

It helps if you chill the filling and make sure the cake is room temperature before adding the second layer on top. It looks like it tasted good – most super fancy cakes have gross frosting and flavor anyway!
