I fail so hard I Win

I don't like Pokemon. I've never really cared for them. I mean sure as a TCG the illustrations on the cards helped me to grow with my drawing skills, I'd draw my friends favorite Pokemon cards except larger... I look back on these and see how much they are NOT pretty but for the time it was my best. Yet by and large I could care less about the little monster that live in red and white orbs attached to a belt... Shouldn't they technically be called Beltmon then?

So what in god's green earth inspired me to create this abomination of cakery?



One of my friends made this:


It's a Hard Gay rendition of Kirby... (NSFW, I mean it's not bad, but I'm pretty sure you don't want to view it there)

I was also making a cake of roundness and wanted to try my hand at decorating, so I thought and thought of something fairly easy to make into a cake and recalled this little guy:


So it's a classic white cake (box mix) with blue jello added in (I just mix the jello powder in with the dry mix and bake as would normally, adding 10 - 15 minutes onto the bake time) With blue cream cheese frosting (hand dyed?) classic white frosting dyed red, and his eyes and tail are made from nutella, the white is all un-touched cream cheese frosting.

Oh and his paws and mouth are frosting covered york peppermint patties.

Not bad for my first attempt at Cake decorating... but I can do better.

comfort in 5 minutes flat

So Friday in an effort to re energize our feelings about our house, we began to re-decorate and clean the two main rooms. In the process we found our eldest cat Princess passed away underneath the entertainment center.

Damn her for hiding so often that we didn't notice her disappearance. It was a sad moment and we cleaned her up and then held a sort of funeral for her, with candles and incense at her location of passing.

Earlier in the day i had received a recipe from my grandmother for '5 minute chocolate mug cake' perfect comfort food right there.

5 MINUTE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE

4 tbs. cake flower (plain flour, not self-rising)

4 tbs. sugar

2 tbs.baking cocoa

3 tsp chocolate chips (optional)

A small splash vanilla

1 coffee mug

Add dry ingredients to mug and mix well.

Add the egg and mix thoroughly

Pour in the milk and oil and mix well

Add the chocolate chips (if using) and the vanilla. Mix again.

The cake will rise over the top of the mug but don’t be alarmed!
