Domesticity

Adventures in Domesticity!

I saw an idea for a sunflower peep cake. And I decided that I needed to do it.
Now, this is my first time making a layer cake and first time decorating/frosting a cake.

Here it is in pictures.

So far so good. Two well baked moist 8 in round cakes.

I use a knife and level off the tops and frost in the middle. Yup, still going well. Or so I thought. Can you figure out my fatal error?

Two layers completely frosted. I start to add the peeps.
Then I realize I need to move it to the cake tray.

Apparently you cannot move a multilayer cake once you have layered and frosted it already.
Insert some foot stomping and some screaming.
This lovely concoction ended up in a rather large garbage bags. I was disgusted.

I made this bad boy at church the next day while setting up for the Children's Good Friday Service. Note it's presence on the cake tray already as opposed to the cooling rack.

Not too awful bad for a first shot (well, um second)

Happy Easter Y'all!
Eat a peep or two!
