Redemption?

I have two questions.

1. why is it that the posting titled “Epic Fail” is one of my most viewed ever?  Schadenfreude!
2. how was it possible that I actually made that awful cake?

So the exotic dancing cow disaster was dismantled in time to make a decent showing at my friend’s house.  I redid it white with a brown border and the old bow on the top dealy.  It was unremarkable, but a Cup Cake Cake would have been preferable to the polka dotted nightmare I had started with.  (This experience has reinforced that I don’t want to do this for money, that’s for sure.)

Here was what it ended up looking like:

Snooze.

But the birthday girl liked it and the cake tasted good so all in all:  mission accomplished.
