Oh, this is just great... I've been busting my hump all day making this huge ganache covered wedding cake and some inconsiderate schmuck comes in while I'm working and trashes my kitchen!! Was it one of you? Is this your idea of a joke? Chocolate smears all over the place. Frosting on EVERYTHING! I mean, I only had my back turned for a few minutes, who would do that? That is just cruel!! Now I have to spend all night cleaning. I swear I will get to the bottom of this and SOMEONE will pay!! 
Ok... just needed to destress for a sec before I dive into the three character cakes I have to get done tonight! But seriously, if anyone out there knows how to get ganache off the ceiling, let me know! Hehehe!
Hope you figure out who did that, the same thing happens to me every time I go in the kitchen, I don't even have to be baking! LOL
I'm with you on how fast that mess accumulates, if I could have a helper it would be one who just goes along behind me and straightens, cleans, replaces whatever I mess up, let me do the good stuff.
Have fun with your character cakes, maybe they won't be as messy as the ganache! Janice
It was me........ 
I am so ashamed...... I mean.....It was the chocolate.......
I just couldn't help myself.........
I always tell my husband, I need a wife, so I can have someone to pick up everything and run the kids around.
Too funny!!! That's what I've said - only, I need a wife to do what NOBODY else wants to do,
Oh, and have you noticed that it requires "breasts" to operate the dishwasher.... Wonder why that wasn't notated in the operating manual 
And the uterus is actually a tracking device, if you have one it automatically means that you know where everything is in the house..."where's my keys? wallet? shoes? backpack? etc."
That sounds like my house. I think you have to have one to open the dryer as well. Finding matching socks is too hard on the men too.

I don't know but they sure get around, they hit my kitchen too. Gumpaste pieces and cornstarch, dinner dishes and cake crumbs. I keep waiting for the cake angels to come clean up but they aren't here yet and it's getting late.
hahahhaa..I went on strike like 15 years ago..
I know nothing and see nothing.
lol
Risque, that reminds me of toddler a t-shirt I saw the other day. It said "You didn't see me", "I didn't do it", "I want to talk to Grandma". But they didn't have my Grandson's size.
Anyway, on the subject on hand, I made a wedding cake this week and told myself I would clean as I go and there will be no mess - yea, right, like that was going to happen.
I think we all have Cake Gremlins.
Those gremlins stopped at my house and had a buttercream food fight in my kitchen. I also had two little gremlins who decided to clean for me--clean up the extra roses I had made, clean up the spatulas, lick the bowl clean. Then I heard from my 6 yr old son, "Look, Mom, I helped you. I licked the bowl so clean you don't need to wash it anymore. I'll just stick it back in the cupboard for you." Yeah, sure, thanks kiddo. 
What a screwball!

OMG!!! this is so true, you guys crack me up!!!!!
And Melvira, you are such a delight your humour is just fabulous i love seeing you post cause i just know i will feel happy and laugh a little when i read it.
CC is so lucky to have you as member to cheer us all up and put a little laughter in our days.
kylie
LOL,
My advice to everyone is to leave the messes where they are ...frame them and call them CONCEPTUAL ART.
laugh.snort...giggle!..haha
My DH refers to my messes in the kitchen as either "Frosting Bombs" or "Chocolate murder scenes". It can be greusome at times.
I'm cracking up over here after reading those dishwasher and tracking device comments! It's sooooo true. Ever ask DH if he ACTUALLY lives in the same house as you? Otherwise how do you explain them not knowing where everyday things are? LOL.
I'm still new at baking a cake for other people but I swear I'll just have one ole cake to do and I have plenty of time but every time, I screw around until the last minute and then the whole house is in panic mode. I have icing in the kitchen, in the dining room, the phone, my hair, the cats, the kids are walking in it because its being thrown about. My husband starts rushing around trying to control the chaos to no avail and finally after its all over with, I come back home to the granddaddy of all messes and think:
wow, can't wait to do it all over again! 
P.S. Melvira, one week left - how's it going?
Christie
Yeah, ladies!!!
And why is it, that right when I'm like MOST exhausted, and I've decorated two cakes, and baked off like 2 cheesecakes, they start yelling, "What's for supper? You're in there cooking anyway..." 
So, next time DH is on duty, I'll just call him on the radio-private-channel and say, "Yeah...you need to bring home more money. You're out there working anyway..." 
--Knox--
My kitchen looks like a buttercream bomb went off. I was thinking cupcakes-simpler to make, less mess,etc. But nooooo, not in my house! But I got all those cupcakes done! Yippee! I swear I only made one batch of buttercream but it looks like 3 batches just on the counters. I'm trying to figure out how I got so much everywhere and still had enough to frost with.

LOL...coz they actually are just visiting from another planet...
Where have you been?
They even wrote a book..
Men are from Mars...hahaha...
I swear, I am the oddball, coz after soooooooooooo many years of doing the mommy thing....I realized..THAT"S ALL I WAS doing!
Where was the fun I was supposed to be having when I had kids?? So...mommy went on strike...taught everyone how to use the microwave...put labels on everything...and then declared....
EVERY MAN TO THEMSELVES...SINK OR SWIM!
( what a mean mommy I was...watching them running around like chickens without a head looking for a pair of clean socks..or matching socks for that matter....!!)
But they learned...even my son could decorate a cake by the age of 8!! my daughter was my back up decorator when she was only 12!!
I got mean and told them..socks and dirty clothes don't wash themselves...I even got as far as getting a cheap set of dishes and writing their names on the bottoms of them...because I'd come upstairs to make dinner after a day of making cakes and there was sinkfuls and counterfuls of dirty dishes!!! and I had a dishwasher at the time!!
so...now all I had to do was turn over the plate and find the culprit..hahah and I told them..I didnt' care WHO used the dish..if YOUR name was under it...IT WAS YOU that had to wash it.
heee..heheee..
<----she's a meany
RisqueBusiness, you are HILARIOUS! Congrats on getting your home (and sanity) back! I love the dirty dish rule . . . whoever used it has to clean it. Growing up, my brother, sisters and I would have been swapping dishes like no tomorrow but in the end you know it would work out and you'd end up washing the same amount of dishes.
