Without a job to go to everyday I often jump at the opportunity to take on little projects here and there, especially if it involves cooking and baking. My friend and I volunteered recently to bring a cake and some small bites to a baby shower for a friend. I made it a bigger project than it needed to be, as usual, and made a two tiered fondant covered cake. I almost pulled it off perfectly until the heat and lack of experience with fondant got the best of my cake and the top tier sort of fell apart as I tried to stack it. So I just swallowed my disappointment, tied some utility string around the cake and recreated the decorations in the last minute and no one seemed to notice. And thankfully the cake was a delicious despite being a bit warped. It was a yellow cake with a meringue and a passionfruit curd filling.
