Food Friday: Hello Kitty Cake Fail

For our ten year anniversary last month my husband gave me a Hello Kitty Cake Pan, complete with Hello Kitty food coloring to go with it! Of course I was super excited to bake a Hello Kitty cake, and could not wait to do it! Enter the cake mix (my favorite kind, Funfetti). Everything was going well until it was time to get the cake out of the pan.

Yes, I sprayed it with Pam. Yes, I let it cool properly. The cake mix just wasn't strong enough, the cake fell apart. This was just one part of the problem though, because the cake could be pieced back together, which we did, even though it looked pretty bad. Next time the cake will be from scratch for sure! The second problem was all that I had to decorate the cake with was a butter knife. At least it tasted great!

 Have you had any food fails recently?

Happy birthday to me!

Tomorrow is my birthday! While I am not planning to make this cake for my big day, it does look like quiet a delicious and easy summertime treat! Using ice cream sandwiches?! Brilliant.



Tomorrow will be spent doing whatever I please, which in honesty is the best things about birthdays! No one can make you do something don't want to do! :) Though personally I am hoping to make a trip to the zoo or aquarium, and some breakfast in bed would be lovely as well. I'll just have to wait and see what the birthday fairy brings!

Royal Wedding

Apparently there is a royal wedding taking place this month. Though I am not personally that excited about it, there have been a lot of fun things going around the web that are inspired by the upcoming nuptials. This Royal Blue Velvet Cake really caught my eye!

A fun new twist on the usual red velvet! I especially love the blue candy "glass" that is on top of the slice. Are you having a party to watch the royal wedding? I'm not, but if I were, this would be my cake of choice!
