Pirogoeth's Journal: Heart Attack on a Cake

Thing Two turns five today. He's completely into Cars right now, so we're helping to boost Disney's stock price and having a completely Cars-themed party.

I decided to try my hand at baking a "fun" cake for him. I'm no Ace of Cakes, but it didn't turn out half bad.

Why yes, that is two pounds of buttercream frosting on there. And it's delicious...

Nice cake.

As a bonus, it's slightly less heart-attack-y than it would have been had I made it. I use Creamy White Frosting [astray.com] with an extra dollup of trans fats on top, please!

And that's exactly why I made my own. I refuse to buy frosting in a can anymore, as I'm trying to cut down on the trans-fatty crap I buy.

Not that this is health food or anything, but at least my body knows how to deal with butter properly...

I make my own frosting because it tastes better than canned frosting. Mmmm...almond flavored trans fats...
