Good Grief Cake

So, I skipped my last Wilton Class. Not cool. But Greg was sleepy and I didn't want him to drive all the way out to Huntington sleepy and then still have to watch the kid while I was playing with cakes. So I ditched. Boo.

That doesn't mean I wasn't playing with cake though. I attempted the Wilton rose. I did rather well too if I do say so myself. I wish I would have taking pics I didn't (I will though). I tried to put the plowers on the cake before the had hardened and the all fell and drooped, it was terrible. I got all upset (crying even) and started to smooch all the flowers and took off all the frosting and started all over again.

The white icing had mixed with the yellow icing to make a nice dainty pastel kind of yellow. I used my big flower tip (can't remember the number) and attempted to make swirly flowers (excuse the terminology, I'm a dropout!). I also took the cake top that I had cut off and tried to crumble it up in efforts to form a dirt effect. It looked great I just f-ed up the flowers so I had to cover my mistake. The end result is this

That is why I am calling it good grief cake. This cake put me through so much grief, that and the fact that I am not pregnant and have no outlet to let out my feelings. I was trying to get pregnant and got shut down this month...

Any who, that's another story for another blog, long story short I had a lot on my mind. But The cake was delicious! It was dark chocolate Fudge (Box kind) with my vanilla butter cream frosting that we make in the class. MMmmMMM perfect fix for my chocolate cravings.

If you look closely at the pic where a slice has been cut, you can see towards the edge of the cake where I packed on the crumbs because there is a layer of frosting between two layers of cake...

Looks cool, I might develop that some more.
