    Ugly Cakes plus Friday Frivolity Linky Party

    Apr 7, 2016 · 7 Comments

    Our host theme this week for Friday Frivolity is Pinterest Fails. You know when you try a recipe or craft project from Pinterest and it is a huge disaster. Pshaw, I don't need to look any further than my own blog for material. I might be a Food Blogger, but I am also the world's worst cake decorator. No really, I am. But the cakes usually taste good.

    It is okay to laugh at my Cake Disasters, because I certainly do.

    ugly cake - elmo
    Elmo and Dorothy for his 3rd Birthday. I tried to cut it out of a round cake plus three cupcakes. And since I can't pipe worth a darn I tried fluffing the frosting to look like fur.
    ugly cake - castle
    The next year I opted for one of those shaped cake pans, but my cake decorating skills did not improve. Told you I can't pipe. Thank goodness he chose a blue castle or it might have looked rather phallic.
    ugly cake - monster
    Got the idea for a monster eye cake on... Pinterest. U-G-L-Y you ain't got no alibi.
    ugly cake - donnie
    He had just lost his first tooth and he drew out the exact cake he wanted me to make. NAILED IT! (BTW, the recipe for the TMNT M&M cookies is over on That Recipe)
    ugly cake - seuss
    Have you figured out what these are supposed to be? Green Eggs and Ham. Sigh, the idea seemed so good in my head.
    ugly cake - spider
    The winner of the ugliest cake I have ever created goes to this Spider Cake. Actually there is a funny story behind it (as well as a great chocolate cake recipe).

     

     

    Now on to the link-up! 😀

      My cakes (along with a ton of other culinary creations) aren't usually very pretty...but they pretty much always taste delicious, which is what matters the most to me! I thought your Elmo cake looked really good! A few of the others...well...I bet they tasted good! 😉

      Such a fun linkup! It's my first time here so thank you for hosting. Love the pics of your cakes - they are awesome. I've never tried to frost a cake before but I'm sure it's really difficult. I tend to take the easier route and just buy the cake...

        Luckily the kids don't care as much what they look like as long as they taste good.
