If you have read the about me blurb at the left it mentions I am a 'domestic goddess failure'.
What does that mean exactly?
It means when Mr H was forced by the girls to pick a cake from the AWW birthday cake book, you all know the ones I mean, he picked this one:
It requires a special metal bowl that you cover in glad wrap fill with ice cream, freeze, then remove from that special bowl and use lots of ice magic.
I dont have that special bowl.
I dont have time to work with melting icecream and grated chocolate and all the special little tweaks this cake needs.
But never say this Mummy does not deliver a hand made cake to celebrate birthdays at the Huey House.
Da Dahhhh!
Echidna in all his glory.
And healthy too, no need for all those extra chocolate biscuit sticks.
So that dear readers is just one of my domestic goddess failures.
Hope you all laughed as much as we did eating it.
That cake is a freaking masterpiece. Love it!
ReplyDeleteSo the bottom one is the pic from the AWW cookbook?? Bloody awesome I say! (PS I did have a little chuckle and then reminded self that self is also a domestic goddess failure...)
ReplyDeleteOMG that so funny.. Abbey thought it was funny. But Great effort ..i always cant the icing right
ReplyDeleteJust spat wine at the computer laughing so hard.
ReplyDeleteIt's the thought that counts!!
Take care.
This gave Joel an asthma attack! It is so freaking awesome. It is exactly the kind of thing I'd have come up with. There's a reason art in high school was a freaking nightmare for me...
ReplyDeleteThank you. that was hilarious. I knew there was a reason I don't have that book.
ReplyDeleteI hope it tasted good?
ReplyDeleteI much prefer your cake for a kids birthday.
ReplyDeleteThe AWWW one looks like it belongs in someones bedside table drawer if you get my drift...
Oh. Freaking gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteOh you are so my new idol!!!

Oh.My.Gosh. Can't even breathe. Thank you!
ReplyDeletehehhehehe just too funny. but. believe me I feel your pain. for me it is sewing ... my recent experience was just too painful ;-D
ReplyDeleteTee hee, I love your cake! Looks tasty.
ReplyDeleteI have made it clear from the get go that I do not make special cakes, I make cakes from a box and everyone will love it or there will be no more cakes made!

That's hilarious! At least their is effort and love which of course will always be remember along side just how special Mr Echidna was.
ReplyDeletePlease go and check out CakeWrecks.com ... Cakes made by professionals that um err kinda look like this. It's always the thought that counts though :)
ReplyDeleteOMG, Claire! You are hilarious! I can't wait to get your cookbook! :)
ReplyDeleteOh Cobs, I had to go change the Tena Lady I laughed that much! That is hilarious! Love your work you funny creature you! xx
ReplyDeleteToo funny! Love it......and certainly looks like it was made with a lot of love!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! Masterchef watch out!
ReplyDeleteThis made my day Claire ... absolute pisser! I can assure you I won't make the cover of Family Circle either! I've married into a big family and everyone seems to make cakes etc with ease. The pressure is stifling but even my cheese on toast would surely turn into some squashed undiscovered animal replica. Thank you so much for sharing this and love how the family enjoyed the attempt no matter what. From another happily failing domestic goddess wannabe!
ReplyDeleteI love it! You are so funny!! Go you un-domestic goddess you. bahahahah!
ReplyDeleteHey my almost four year old has decided he wants a 'cake like that one' for his coming birthday.... so it must be good!
ReplyDeletehaha LOVE that cake!! looks like one out of my cake making book :) great post
ReplyDeleteHaving seen the movie Bridesmaids today, I thought I was done with belly laughs for the day but that was hilarious! Def. warranted the laugh out loud! xx
ReplyDeleteThat is HILARIOUS! I just love that you own this. Me? I'd be in a puddle declaring myself an utter failure (because nothing I create would live up to my own self-imposed standards). Oh wait a minute. This isn't hypothetic...it happens every year. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteClaire you honesty is so refreshing and hilarious . I love you.
ReplyDeleteBAHAHAHAHAHA. I just found your blog, and, obviously, this cake pic. Hahahahaha. Love it. My son wants a 'Where's Wally' for his next cake (IT'S. NOT. EVEN. IN. THE. BOOK.) Gah!!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome.
ReplyDeleteI really appreciate your honesty. But you are a great writer!
