I am finally facing up with the fact that I am crap at making birthday cakes.
Hear me out – I have thrown myself with great dedication (usually allowing a whole set of 24 hours prior to the event with total lack of planning) and determination – my ambitions know little boundaries…
Came my daughter 1st year: one that deserved a cake to surpass ALL THE CAKES!!! with so much at stakes…I was going to give it all – une pièce montée was what she deserved..so a pièce montée I set myself as a goal…
One tier was delivered wonky as hell, I had run out of choux pastry… I blamed the English custard of course…
Years passed, my ambitions grew bigger and my skills got challenged to the limit…they brought a set of perky boobies, Barbie cake, Cinderella castle cake, garage cake, Spider Man cake, Tintin Rocket, make-up bag cake, rabbit in a hat cake, mouse in a bed cake (no I am not making this up…) all furthest from the original than you could begin to imagine…
This week when attempting to make a Super Mario cake which turned slowly into a Wimbledon cake ( cause I only had green food dye left) I suddenly realised that I did not need to suffer and worse make anyone else suffer for the sake of my unrealistic abilities to make birthday cakes. I shall not put my children and loved ones to shame anymore and will simply enjoy the trip in town, the hardest part will be to choosing which cake to pick from the professionals…
All I can say is thank god for 100 & thousands…
bravo à toi Sylvie, ton Wimbledon cake a remporté tous les suffrages à la maison : il a été englouti en deux temps trois mouvements ! Miam !!!!!!!
[Would you like to edit your title before I comment? - I have promised to be nice to you after all - I'll pop back later - I'd have a little check through the rest of the post as well if I were you - shussssh]
Kathia il m’en reste – j’te dis ils apprécient pas mes gâteaux à leur juste valeur…:)
DP: morning did point out some horrors! – I should really refrain myself from blogging after 10 pm…{course I won’t } thank you teacher…x
Good morning young Froglet ….. of course I agree with you, as I always do – your cake making leaves a lot to be desired. [How am I doing on being nice? It's been a long time]. The shame you feel is entirely warranted – complete disasters – total rubbish. [I think I've done awfully well - total agreement - *pats self on back*]
Thank goodness for 100s & 1000s.. & Tesco… that is my Mantra lol
You have it all figured out
70 – I am still a learner and probably will be for a while 
…and why is DP trying to be nice to me this week? any clues?
I have no idea Sylvie … but it is always a bad sign…. he must be up to something
hum…never a good sign!
