DENIAL

It really bugs that I cant seem to make the perfect cake. No matter what I do, they do not turn out. I dont know why it's so important to me, but it has become my mission to figure out the deep dark secrets behind baking a cake. NOW dont get me wrong, I dont really care to become the mormon mom that everyone calls to make their "cheap" wedding cake......I would just simply like to make a decent birthday cake when the occasion presents itself. Quinn doesnt mind cause each time I practice we pretend it's his half birthday and he gets to sing Happy Birthday and blow out the candles. If anyone has a no fail recipe or helpful hints, I have come out of denial, I NEED HELP.

Here is your solution: Make a birthday cake for every woman in your ward for an entire year, and then you'll have so much practice that your cakes will be perfect! Ha ha ha. (that is actually what we did in our ward this year for birthdays)

Costco is nice.

I like the costco option also!!! The cake you made for mom turned out way good so I'm not sure what your issue is.

I discovered the hard way the softer the cake the more important it is to put the cake in the freezer before you frost it. Especially if you like lots of frosting. Frost the frozen layers with as much as you want, layer them on top of each other and put it back in the freezer a bit to set.
