CAKE is a Four-Letter Word (why we're tired of decorating birthday cakes)

This week Heather tells us about decorating a birthday cake for her son, and we agree we are totally over decorating cakes. This episode is a little different than our usual content, but we hope you get a laugh out of it as we did. Then go support your local cake decorators - it really is an art!
Here are our lessons for this episode:
1. We think it's probably time to leave it to the professionals because this sh*t is not easy.
2. We talk about a lot of different cakes and know very little about any of them. Heather's cake this week is red velvet. Turns out, if you're a little short on red dye but think it should be fine, your cake might not actually be all that red. You really might need the full two tablespoons of red food colouring gel. Yikes.
3. Layer cakes are nearly impossible to get nice and flat. You have to fill the gaps with extra icing and, well, it can be a lot. A lot of icing, and a lot of time spent crack-filling.
4. It helps to have a sense of humour and the ability to laugh at yourself, something Heather has mastered (see the video on social media).
Happy cake decorating if you brave it, or shopping if you choose to take tip #1 to heart.
