Stupid cakes.

I don't know what my problem is.  I can't make cakes.  Big fancy ones, or small easy ones, they won't turn out for me.  Sometimes (often times) the frosting doesn't set right or the filling is runny, maybe the layers won't sit straight or don't rise altogether.  It's a very frustrating situation for me and nearly every time I say I won't ever bake a cake again.  But I always do, I love cake.  So I've come to a point that if the cake is just for us and not for a celebration we make it work.  And if it is a celebration cake...make cupcakes, they always work.

So when your cake comes out like this...

Thin your icing out and make it work.  It still tastes amazing!
