Let's Make an Easy Summer Cake!
So easy the ECG's husband is going to make it. He rarely bakes and NEVER decorates. Let's get to it!
Part 2 decorating the cake...
Now we know why they say never to work with kids, animals or spouses...
But, it was actually a learning experience for the ECG to see some of her favorite tools in the hands of her favorite tool. Here are the lessons she learned:
1) The Beast Leveler has been her go to tool for leveling and torting cakes for a long time but she was baffled by its poor performance. Turns out, she always tightens the wing nut on the side of the blade as tight as it will go...never thought not to...but now we know that if you leave the wing nut loose, the blade doesn't stay taught, and it bends rather than cuts. Of course, we didn't discover what went wrong until after the live, but now we have a note in the product description.
2) Despite emphasizing to NOT OVERWHIP the Mousse mix, we now know why that warning is on the label. It didn't pipe to its usual silky texture. That being said, it is still insanely delicious.
3) Who knew that the ECG married a paste eater...or that you CAN use too much Wicked Sticky Edible Glue? She now knows both things. Chill out on the amount you use if you want it to set up quickly.
4) Despite the many mishaps, it's really nice to get into the kitchen with your favorite people. Grab some of your favorite peeps and make some perfectly imperfect goodies this weekend. You won't regret it.
