Monday Mistake

So, I was going to be the frugal mom and make cakes for my kids birthdays...how hard can it be? I had the time so why not? What could go wrong?

I even had heart shaped pans...how cool am I?? So, I made the cake and as it was baking, I tinted the frosting! My middle daughter wanted Purple....Red and Blue...right?

So, I took my cake and put my purple frosting on the cake. We invited the neighbors over for some cake and ice cream and they started asking "What's wrong with the cake?"

I looked at it and said "What do you mean?"

They said "It's flat...and grey!"

So, I didn't use a mixer and the cake wasnt' fluffy...

And my mixing of red and blue didn't turn out too purple...more greyish purple...

So, I stopped making cakes and gave the box to the neighbors...until my middle daughter learned to cook from her Aunt and Uncle and she makes her own birthday cakes...

Is that wrong? Look at what a beautiful job she does...my flat grey cake pales in comparison to her weaved frosting cake...she does beautiful work!
