This sucks a$$

[rbella]

OMG! I just made the dessert and it is friggin' hilarious. I cannot wait to take a picture and show ya'll. You will die laughing. My DH went to get a buttload of wine so that I can be good and inebriated when I arrive with this "masterpiece". It is completely burnt. I'm actually glad. If I succeeded, then I wouldn't be me! It was supposed to be some kind of "gooey butter squares" from my "Cake Doctor" book someone gave me awhile back. I don't believe it is supposed to be dark brown....

Thanks for all the kind words, you ladies are the best.

SMMY & MzzRach-that made me feel really good. Thank you!

 

[rbella]

And here it is in all its glory:

Gorgeous isn't it?

It is supposed to "buttery yellow" on top. Oh My God. This will be interesting.....

It doesn't look bad to me....drizzel some conf/powdered sugar on top for decoration

rbella... please know that we all love you regardless of the cake!

that being said... I have been stalking this thread waiting to see how you went with the baking, and would like to offer you a big glass of wine as a consolation prize

I'm sure it will taste fine! I agree with Tish.... perhaps some icing sugar? Or can you get some pre-packaged frosting or something? Overall it looks pretty good though - it's not black and flat, so you've done well!

 

[TISH1124]

The powered sugar will make it like the Funnel cakes at the fair...I love those things...sprinkle sprinkle sprinkle

 

[TamiChoi]

aw, rbella, i hope everything goes perfect for you.
don't worry so much. i can't cook for shit lol.
i say, buy something that's easy to make by step-by-step instructions, or buy something and add your touch to it to make like you made it

edit, sorry i'm late just saw the pic.

^^ agree with Tish! frosting doesn't sound bad either.

Girl you see she already made a beautiful cake....

 

[rbella]

Awww, thanks Mrs. May and TISH!! I have some powdered sugar, so I will do just that. Perhaps they won't notice how much it sucks until they actually eat it.

MrsMay-I'll take that glass of wine now!!!!!!!!!!

 

[blindpassion]

haha you are amazing.

 

[MrsMay]

^^ Pours rbella a massive glass of wine....

 

[rbella]

As a reference, this is what it was supposed to look like (in square form though).

 

[TISH1124]

Hey yours looks like that just with a Tan...Hell we are in TEXAS...everything is browner down here damn it ! I was white b4 I moved here from Ohio

 

[Zantedge]

Rbella, I would totally eat that cake! Save a piece for me? lol

 

[rbella]

Ya'll are too kind. You know it is gonna taste like funk. Oh well, I don't give a damn. At this point it is too late. I can't cook-who cares??????????? My DH doesn't and that's all that matters!

***still secretly dying inside that I have to present this tomorrow...***

 

[MrsMay]

rbella, that doesnt look too far off the picture! You did a good job! I would so totally eat that!

Don't they know cakes in real life don't look like that!!?? Lol...and everyone that reads those magazines and cookbooks longing for their cakes to look like the pictures in the books, but its not REAL LIFE..Damn you photoshop, damn you! hahaha...ok Jenna, too much wine!

But really, It always gets me down when I cook a recipe, cause it never ends up looking like the picture..haha..EVER...

You're on fire tonight, hehe.

And, rbella, it doesn't look bad; I agree with the powdered sugar idea!

Hey, I can't bake either. I made cupcakes a few weeks ago? The total time to prepare and bake was like, 40 minutes total. I took over three hours. They tasted good, but it took forever, heh. My brother is so totally the baker out of us two.
