Have you every been to a website called cakewrecks.com? It’s an absolutely hilarious site that has pictures of professional cakes gone totally wrong. While I’m definitely far from a professional, I had high hopes for my Valentine’s Day cake that I was making for my coworkers. It came out looking like it belonged on that website, and even in some Cake Wall of Shame. It was just…BAD.
This is the back side of it. First mistake? Cake wasn’t nearly dense enough. I had plans on using a recipe along with boxed cake mix to make it more dense, then I totally forgot about it, and well…it ended up all crumbly. Fondant turned out nicely for the most part, but ended up getting too dry and some pieces were breaking as I was trying to decorate, hense just the three hearts. Soooooo….I ended up leaving the cake here at home for the family to consume. I just couldn’t take it into work.
One of my next baking adventures will be with a friend of mine…we’re going to make St. Patty’s day goodies! That will be in about a week and a half, and I’ll be sure to post pictures. Although, I’m really thinking I want to try making something again soon. Maybe I won’t be a spazz and forget to make the cake correctly. 
Practice makes perfect, right? I’ll get there eventually. Live and learn!

Chocolate ice cream on any cake makes that cake delicious!!
The cake itself was quite delicious…I was just bummed at the presentation. But you’re right, and now chocolate ice cream sounds good. lol
Presentation will come with practice, taste and moistness are the hard hurdles to get over. You are on your way girl.
Thanks! Can’t wait to post more of my attempts!
Your cake wasn’t an epic fail…your camera skills are! : ) I snitched a bite of the cake….yum!
