You know what I most drool over on The Cake Boss? Their freedom to ice cakes with abandon.
We live on a tight budget around here – we’re a young, expanding family living on one modest income (which is why I’m just now discovering the joys of The Cake Boss – we cut cable out of our budget!) – so when I make a batch of icing for cookies or cakes or what have you, I try to make just enough to get the job done. I usually end up with not-quite-enough, but man…you wouldn’t believe the amounts of butter we go through in order to feed my baking addiction! So I’m pretty conservative with my frosting batches a frosting miser. There, I said it.
So when I saw those giant bags of buttercream on The Cake Boss, and how they just slather it on with reckless abandon, ohh I was jealous. I wanted to be there. I want to do that! And also, I love how hardcore it sounds when Buddy is all, “We’re gonna dirty ice this thing…”
So cool.
But you know what? I don’t think I’ll ever be allowed to play in their kitchen. Not because I really know nothing about the science of baking, or the art of decorating, but because I would probably lose my cool and end up like this:
Just keepin’ it real,

P.S. – Have a great weekend, yall and thank you so much for your kind words yesterday. Thought we could use some levity today. 😉

Love It!
If I had that much buttercream at my disposal, I’d be taking a bath in it. There’s a reason why us normal people don’t keep too much of that stuff around: we’d get into trouble with it.
Love Cake Becki BTW. 🙂
becki- you crack me up! I had no idea you had such mad “paint” skills. and maybe we should start a fund- a becki buttercream icing fund. i think it’s only fair. the world needs great bakers to be able to use as much frosting as humanly possible. 🙂
Katie – you don’t even KNOW! That’s not “paint” – that’s the power of Photoshop in my artistic hands! I know! I make it look like an amazing program, huh??? LOL
Hey, we don’t have to just have an icing fund for me..(though I’m definitely accepting donations!) I still say we should just have a blogger’s butter co-op. Awesome idea, AND it’s fun to say. 😉
