It's Just Abbey

Short blog post today because I have some God of War to play and an Irish holiday to celebrate. That’s right! Bring on the green beer because Abbey is headed to her old college town to hang out around some moronic, drunk college kids. I am all about this holiday mostly because I look great in green and also it is part of my heritage. The Irish part and the drinking part. Fun fact, my Irish great-great grandmother who came over to America carried the last name of Cullen. YOU’RE WELCOME TWILIGHT!

So, last night I went to night three of cake decorating. It was a short and easy class which was good. I made a new batch of frosting that was TERRIBLE. I was so worried it would be too stiff but then if ended up too soft which is way worse!

That’s what she said. Moving on.

I made a tub full of green icing that I had killer plans for. We needed cupcakes and frosting. I showed up with cupcakes and slime. It was Nickelodeon green and the same consistency. Overnight is even started separating a little and it was shiny… much like slime. Bah. But I tried to make clowns with it anyway. My frosting just melted into itself and became a blob of goo. My mom at one point mentioned I was gritting my teeth. I wasn’t aware I could get that physically angry at a sugary treat. The more you know!

After that I used my left over purple icing and I was back in business. Other than clown making we learned to make shells which were quick and easy. Nothing major to report I suppose.

Oh! I forgot! Because I didn’t want to make a clown I made my own decorations. I slapped a Boba Fett head on mine and gave my mom a John Travolta circa Grease to place on hers. Take a look!

First, how slimy does that green look? Ewwww! Second, doesn’t that kinda look like John Travolta in a speedo? My mom’s tie-dyed frosting FTW! Our teacher was very amused by our cupcakes because who wouldn’t be right? Gold stars for us!

Stay tuned for the gripping finale of Cake Decorating 101 next week!!
