Do you have a cake due tomorrow?
Have you spent the last 5 hours in the kitchen? (no potty break)
Did the kids get themselves cereal for breakfast? (no bowls..none clean)
Are there tears in your eyes & marshmallow in your hair?
are you................F_R_U_S_T_R_T_E_D
deeeeeeep breath...........it will be o.k.
You are now in the midst of the
storm before the calm....
You speak out loud (to yourself because, really, no one else cares)
"WHY,WHY, WHY!!!!! Do I think I can do this!!!!"
Your cake looks more like "Oh-no" than "Elmo" ...
food inspectors would condemn the kitchen...
Aliens replaced your children with clones who's sole purpose is to get........................on.........................your........
one........
last...........
NERVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But does that deter you?!?!?!?...NOOOOOOOOO..............
Because you are "SU PER BAKERRRR"
and you know what you have to do.....................................................
Stuff yourself with cake scraps,
lick those fingers,
say the magic words.....
*@#%^#*@*&%#!*%^%$*
And plow on.......until......suddenly (about 3 hours ago).....the sun rises!!
And your cake is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G.
The kids think your AWESOME(and so do you).
You'd pat yourself on the back..if your hands didn't hurt.
And in this heightened state of un-awareness you can't see that
*every bowl & utensil you own is crusty (except the one the dog is licking),
*the walls are speckled (and so are you),
*the vanilla is on it's side (uncapped & being absorbed by 5lbs of sugar)
*the kids are having frosting for breakfast(..ohhh when that sugar hits....)
and........
*you weigh 6 lbs more than when you started*
**************** BUT*******************
Your cake is
A-M-A-Z-I-N-G
So you climb into bed (at 10 am)
In your clothes (you can shake out the sheets later)
and
have sweet, sweet dreams.....
(OMG..did you make that? For me!...How do you do it?
Where do you find the time?...Your soooo talented...)
ahhhhhhh
yessssssss
That
is why we do it
(well...that & the leftovers after all, we are not wasteful)
We are caring, creative people providing a valuable service to our country
mm..mm.mm-mm.....mmm..mmmm
Plow on Super Baker.......Plow on.......
**no offense, gents..you too are "SU PER BAKERRRRS!"
Where you peeking in my windows last night???? LOL I just finished my daughters 16th birthday cake at 4am....and I have a sugar hangover headache that would kill a horse!!!
And my kitchen resembles your description exactly!!! LOL Funny how that works isn't it?
Thanks for the laugh!!
Thanks! I needed that. I've been working on a wedding cake for the last four days and all my aprons are dirty. Just a few more hours and I'll be finished!
This is the BEST!!! I insert my animals in lieu of the kids, but still, I know that last nerve, and there are times when it's shot! I'm glad I'm not the only one that goes through this. I'm starting on a wedding cake this weekend, so this is going up on my wall!! Thanks for your creativity!
This is too funny!! Definitely a keeper!! 
Why is it you look on any given night you are working on a cake and you look at the clock it says 7pm. You think to yourself, "Wow I am doing great on time I should have these finished in no time." Before you know it it is 2am. Where does the time go!!
Wow.....like the others said, looks like I'm not the only one. I was frustrated with my icing and my mmf last night so bad that my DH tried to talk to me, and I began with, "honey, don't take offense to this, but please don't talk to me right now and until I tell you to!". Finally, it was done......I said, "you can talk to me now"......DH said, "that cake looks really good"....good boy!

That is so true I do that everytime think I am doing great and then I am up half the night!
The line about kids and frosting for breakfast - that is so me and the board of health could come in and condem my kitchen plus the fact sometimes I take my decorating into the living room - AACK - Thank you
Hehehe... this is great! (and this was TOTALLY me last weekend.. UGH)
Thanks...Call me the peeper..I KNEW I wasn't alone!!
Can someone please, in their "spare" time, make us a chart?
Cake time..................................Real Time................
5 min---pipe simple border 25 min
20 min--roll & place fondant 1 1/2 hrs
30-60 min--easy birthday cake 3-4 hrs
25 min----6 roses 5 hours, 2 batches of
frosting & 64rejects
1 day (2 tops) all week
And if some who knows Quantum Physics could PLEASE explain that time warp between "10pm (almost done) & 4am (what the?????) because other people just don't get it and I'd really like to be paid by the hour.
Omg!! You have pinned everything exactly!!! So we're not alone! Love it!!
