Tried to make my wife a birthday cake today. There were a few problems. 1) YESTERDAY was her birthday. 2) Misreading directions, I put ALL the cake batter in a pan two times too small, not unlike the grinchs heart. By the way, cake batter expands (news to me) as it bakes. This means overflow. Overflow means burning. Burning means smoke....smoke filling the whole house. 3) Cake should be cooled for no less than 548 hours before doing anything with it or the icing you attempt to pour over said cake will act like liquid lava running down sides, picking up crumbs of cake as it goes, destroying all hope of covering up cosmetic flaws that were incurred during the violent act of whipping pan against counter to extract cake from pan. 4) When writing birthday message on cake, dont. Even if you have the nack to suspect that a long message increases odds of fantastic catastrophe, you still need to realize that 30! is still too long a message. Just dont. 5) When finally presented to my wife, she smiled brightly at the boys with that compassion only a mother can have and said, Thank you boys! She burst into laughter when they told her the truth; dad was fully responsible for the cake. Happy Birthday, dear wife.
