Friday Confessional: Let 'em eat cake.


Play along with Glamazon and Mamarazzi!

I confess:

I don't like to cook.
It is not rewarding to me.
It is not how I show my family my love.
I live with a bunch of ingrates that
"hate" what cook.
I especially don't like to bake.
Who needs extra treats around the house anyway right?

Kid #1 had Pack Meeting last night.
They had a cake decorating contest.
Which meant that I had to bake a cake.


I. don't. bake. cakes.


So, what did I do?

I confess:

I went to the *Bulls Eye*
and
BOUGHT a cake.

Then guess what I did.
I brought it home, scraped off all of the store frosting and decoration,
and re-frosted it with some frosting I had in the food storage.

Nice, huh?

When Peanut came home, he decorated it happily!
This is how it turned out!




 He won the prize for "Funniest Cake" 
I thought it was wonderful!

Here are a few of the other cakes that were there:






I confess:
This morning when the cake slipped out of Peanut's admiring hands and landed frosting first onto the floor,
I was sad that his masterpiece would not be enjoyed, (except by the tile).
But I was also grateful that the temptation of cake was now in the garbage.

What do YOU have to confess?

At least he did something. I did the whole thing and it was white. I think your a genius! Love, love, love your picture at the top! Awesome.

Cooking and I are not friends. And baking really is a pain. You are not alone!

I love to bake but I make things that taste good, but not necessarily look like show pieces. I know I get my turn at making a cake soon for Thomas...and I am not looking forward to it...actually I resent it!

I love that this was your confessional.

I don't love to cook or bake either. I dread coming up with something for dinner EVERY. SINGLE. DAY!

That's hilarious! The dog got a hold of my son's scout cake last year and no one enjoyed it after that.
