No, but I've put them in and had them all sick to the bottom and make a gooey mess!



Have you ever given somebody a cake that was a complete mess, but had to do it because you had promised them a cake?

Yes, I made a pumpkin recently for my cousin's kid's birthday. It's a lot harder to ice a 3D round cake than i thought it would be! (I'm new at this) I thought it was a sloppy mess. Everyone else said it was cute. Either I'm too hard on myself or they were just being polite!

Have you ever had a sheetcake in your hands (complete with candles and everything), ready to sing to a coworker with the rest of your coworkers, slide out of your hands onto the corner of the desk then bounce right in the trash can?!

No, but I almost totally trashed my mother's cake for her 92nd BD when the wind caught the lid (not taped shut) and tried to blow it away!


Have you had to do a major repair job on a cake before you could deliver it? Janice

No, thank goodness, it's hard enough just to get it there!






Have you ever forgotten to get all the ingredients for you icing and had to stop everything to run to the store?

This is routine for me, even with a list I manage to not get home with everything I need...and then I forget that I ate the marshmallows and have none for the MMF!



Have you shared information/recipes with anyone that you regretted it later?

YES!!!!!!!! I actually gave a recipe book my sister made for me, our mom, and our Grandmother, to my MIL and she has never even looked through it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hello, I would have given it to my best friend of 23 years had I known my MIL wasn't going to even open it! icon_mad.gif She won't give it back either because "You gave it to me!"



Have you ever had so many cakes to do in one week that you actually baked the wrong flavor of cake for on of the occasion?

Yes! I felt so bad, but the bride liked the mixup better so someone was watching over me!



Have you ever bought a cake at the store and iced and decorated it and called it your own?

No - but I have bought a piece of cake from the grocery store, brought it home, taken the frosting off and refrosted it with my own so I could eat it.



Have you ever had the electricity go out in the middle of baking with an electronic ignite on your oven and ended up with warm cake batter?

No! That is dangerous and scary, just think of all the things that can get burned or damaged! LOL



Do you mind baking somewhere besides your own kitchen?

post #43 of 79

Mind? Yes. Do it on a regular basis? Also yes! Our kitchen is way too small, so big batches of things or Thanksgiving get done at sissy's place.



Have you ever baked over a fire?

Yes, when the children were young and we went camping I used to bake in a cast iron pot. Apple Betty and pineapple upside down cake.





Again, do you bake naked or in your underwear?

Nope, but will defrost something in the freezer to use up some leftover cream cheese or chocolate frosting.

Yes - for my stepson at our house! Luckily, I had some leftover long skinny cake candles that I was able to use - I put 2 for his 11th b-day.


Have you ever outlined an FBCT, gone to get the another bag of frosting and come back to find that your cat ate most of the outline?

Have you ever became so frustrated making/decorating a cake that when your SO makes a comment about your kitchen being a mess and the cake isn't coming together right that you threaten to divorce him on the spot?

Divorce? Nope. I threaten to call in the "till death do us part" clause!!!

post #58 of 79

Yep! I've lost LOTS of recipes (box opened in move) and had to find something that sounded kinda the same.



Have you ever compared life to flavors of cake? IE, "that was as good as a 5 Alarm Chocolate Cake" or "that was very refreshing, a lot like raspberries"

... and then pictured the cake you would make based on it?

mxpark Cake Central Cake Decorator Profile
mxpark Posted 19 Nov 2006 , 9:15am

nope.....but that sounds like something that i will probably end up doing someday.







do you dream of new cake designs and then wake up and sketch them?

Sortof, I dream it and my DH has to draw it cause he is an artist, I can not come close to an idea looking realistic.






Have you ever decorated a cake and felt like de´javu only to realize, (oh yeah, it was in my dream last night)
