Or actually my left ankle is! All day in heels, leasing apartments and then all night making my first cake. Well, my first cake for an actual customer and my first cake that I am going to attempt to collect money for making. I tell you, it wasn't as easy as I thought it would be!
I think things will get better, though. One thing about it all is that I have enough invested in this to really try and make a go of it. I made some rookie mistakes tonight, that's for sure. How many times could I stick my finger in the bottom border? Twice. Did I put the cake box down on the counter without wiping it off first, thereby getting chocolate cake crumbs all over the exterior of the cake box? Yes. Yes, I did. Did I try to trim a round cake and take too much off of one of the layers? Why, of course! (I filled it in with buttercream.) Did I underestimate the intensity of the food coloring and end up with a much more pastel color-scheme than I had envisioned. Well....I'm sure you are now sensing the theme.
I also didn't have my camera (my beloved Blackberry, which I left in my desk at work) and I asked my brother to take a pic with his iPhone which he did but I didn't get the email and yadda, yadda, yadda...I have no picture to post. Tomorrow, my friends, tomorrow...
