Test Run, FAIL!

So this week I wanted to do a test run of the boy’s birthday cake.  I wanted to make this…. but wasn’t sure I could do it.

I decided on a spice cake for the adults and cupcakes for the kids IN a kid friendly flavor, of course.  I started with the spice cakes.  I baked two spice cakes in bundt pans and let them cool.  In the mean time I started on my Rachel Ray vanilla frosting.  Cream butter, confectioner’s sugar and vanilla.  How could I go that wrong?  Not sure either but I did and it tasted like SHIT! hahah Even though it didn’t taste good I wanted to try and frost the cakes.

I gave up before adding the stem and leaves because I knew I couldn’t actually serve this to anyone! haha  At this point lots of thoughts were running through my head.  Do I just buy canned frosting?  Do I just go to Costco and buy a cake?  Do I call the best cake maker I know and see if she can make a last minute cake for me?

All I can say is don’t worry.  I called my friend and she is going to save the day!!!!!

THANKS LISA!!!!
