somewhere in heaven...

somewhere in heaven, my uncle jim is having himself a good laugh. my cakes, all things considered, turned out ok. i sent 1 home with t since she helped and for mr smith so he could enjoy some. so i had 2 rounds, a 9x13 and a pie plate cake left. we ran out of pans and had to use something for all the batter. after a minor over flow in the oven (we all enjoyed the cake boogers from the overflow) i tossed the cakes in the fridge and went to bed. today, i tried to make buttercream frosting and i am not sure what happened but it just was not at all how i expected. so i frosted the 2 rounds in to 1 cake and i am going to make cream cheese icing and frost the other cakes with that. it is all good, though, considering a) this was only the second time i made this cake and b) the first time i ever tried buttercream frosting. i think it may not get eaten but hey- at least i tried. next time, i am going to try a different recipe. i am not going to give up on this one until i beat it. so my cake is in the fridge, waiting to be eaten. it is UGLY. i am not a good cake froster and this cake was extra moist and fragile. but the cake tastes good. i think i will invest in some decorating lessons sometime soon...i dont care about the hearts and flowers and all that jazz but i just want to frost a cake without it breaking apart. if you live near me, i hope you are ready to eat more cakes while i master the mighty buttercream.
