Cakes, what a headache.

So just as i am getting excited about doing cakes again...

this happens.

Let me just say that this cupcake was so good.  

I don't like cake and i would eat all 4 of those right now if given the chance.

(i say this because it wasn't my recipe, it was Giada's)

The customer wanted marble cupcakes with buttercream frosting.

I had never made marble from scratch so flustered i tried a few recipes.

While working hard on finding one that was good enough to be proud of i forgot that she said buttercream...

I stayed up all night (the day Jack was born) making these cupcakes and each individual Raphael head to go on top of them.  Then finish the cake and the large full bodied Raphael.

Then, when we got home from the hospital i had a message.

Asking for all of her money back.

DUDE.

I charged $30 for ALL of this, 24 cupcakes and the cake that will feed 8.

$30 didn't even cover the supplies.

The frosting was delicious, i am not lying.  It was a pudding frosting.

She wanted buttercream, so she wanted her money back.

OUCH.

No more cakes for me.
