I
just finished being frustrated with cake--I'm in a vegetarian dinner
group (!) and it's my turn to cook tomorrow. One of the guys has a birthday
tomorrow, and he is from Texas. I have a Texas shaped cake pan! So I
baked a cake to eat after dinner tomorrow. However, I took the Texas
cake out of the pan backwards and then couldn't flip it because it kept
threatening to break beyond recognition. So now it's backwards Texas.
Also my roommates and I were going to frost it to look like the Texas
flag, but we had no red food coloring. Thinking quickly, we dyed some of
the frosting red with grenadine. Listen, never mix cream cheese
frosting with grenadine. It tastes like citric acid and awful cherries.
Scrapping
the red idea, we decided to frost the cake blue with a white star in
the middle. Guess what, making stars out of frosting is really hard. So
right now what this guy has to look forward to is a backwards sky-blue
slightly bulgy Texas cake with an uneven white diamond in the center.
Also my roommate added two packets of pudding mix and an assortment of
dark chocolate chips to the cake batter. I hope he likes pudding and
dark chocolate chips. Aaaaand I hope he's getting another form of
birthday cake tomorrow.
