It was Jake's 32nd birthday Friday and I told him to look on my Pinterest page for what he wanted me to make for his cake. He chose this one Trisha Yearwood's Key Lime Cake. So I read this instructions and all the reviews said it was a super easy cake. Something a beginner could make. Ummm... thanks. What does that make me? It all started out good...
And quickly got worse...
And worse...
I have no idea what I did wrong. Apparently I was still half asleep when I started this Friday morning at 6:00. By 8:00 I was needing to leave for work and the above picture is what it looked like. I told Jake I was sorry but he was getting a boughten cake mix and these were going in the trash. He encouraged me to just trim the tops off and use this one. So I did.
It did get better. It tasted fabulous, but boy was it a sight. When I tried to frost it all the moist crumbs stuck in the cream cheese icing.
This is the only picture I got of the birthday man as he was being a complete stinker and wouldn't let me take one. So I told him the bad one goes on the blog :)
The candles were really cool! The flame was the color of the candle!
Anyway, he turned 32 even despite the fact I had a fail with this "it's-so-easy-a-beginner-can-do-it" cake. Happy Birthday to my Husband!
