Sorry about the sideways pictures, but i guess it fits the story that they won't post correctly. I decided that making cakes isn't fun anymore. I like doing them when i have time, not squeezing every second i have to make a cake for a birthday party for people i don't know and not make any money on top of it. This was the last straw. No my sharks did not turn out like the ones in the book, not even close. The frosting didn't melt correctly and it wasn't deep enough to dunk the sharks plus the twinkies are way too top heavy, they all fell over while i took a short nap. I was not happy. This also happened when i made the penguins out of this Hello,Cupcake book. Okay Karen Tack and Allen Richardson this is not cool. I think i am pretty handy around the kitchen. I can usually create things like in their book but 3 out of 4 of the things i have tried IN their book did not turn out. I made the puppies, penguins, sharks and sunflower pot. AND come to think of it the Sunflower pot only turned out because i stopped reading the book. I used my own pastry bags and tips instead of the ziploc like they suggested. DISSAPOINTED!
Side note, the banana nut cupcakes that i made for Nick's class (for fun) did turn out. Homemade Cream cheese frosting is good on anything though. Especially when the cupcakes were fresh out of the oven, it was literally better than cinnabon!
This makes me so sad! I'm sorry it isn't fun anymore. You are very gifted and those of us who have been blessed with one of your cakes know this first hand.
ReplyDeleteIt's always a sad day when what you love becomes a chore. But it'll get back to being fun once you find a compromise in it! Keep it up for your friends and family anyway ;D
ReplyDeleteYou girls are sweet. I have been having fun lately, it's just not fun when you have to stretch time and when you aren't proud of the product. Thanks ladies!
