I hate Betty!

It’s official. I hate Betty Crocker. Why you ask? Well, a few weeks ago I posted my practice Spiderman cake. Everything went perfect and now I have to make it for a Sugar B’s customer and it’s totally stressing me out. If I’ve learned one thing from this, it is don’t buy Betty Crocker cake mix! I always use Duncan Hines and the Betty Crocker was on sale so I figured they had to be about the same. Nope! The cupcakes didn’t get as puffy and they have little bumps on the top. I don’t think they are as flavorful either. I’m sure no one will notice this stuff once they are decorated but I hate not being proud of my work! I have to hand it to Dave, he was such a big help last night. For some reason, when the cake came out of the pan, the indentations in the pan that work as a guide for frosting didn’t transfer onto the cake very well. It’s totally Betty’s fault. Anyways, I was on the verge of a tantrum and he stood over me for over an hour studying the picture and dictating where each line of frosting should go. When I was about to lose it, he even took the bag of frosting and piped on a few lines himself. Now I swore I wouldn’t tell anyone that he helped me decorate a cake but I couldn’t have done it without him last night so I think he deserves a little credit! Today I’m going to finish frosting the cake and work on the cupcakes. I’m sure they will turn out super cute but regardless, Betty is on my sh*t list.
