I am not martha!!!!

My favorite quote: "Laugh every day even if it's at yourself!"

I started out with great intentions:

Then the twins had to "Help" fill the cupcake papers. That was Fun!! (In the way getting a cavity filled is fun... pure test of patience!) They look really sad and lopsided but hey, frosting will fill it in, right??


I couldn't find the pastry bag my mom (the true cake artist) left here so I cut a Ziploc baggie and tried my best! I cut a stencil for the GS out of recycled paper and sprinkled it with green sugar...

I won't fool myself, I know the Martha's of the world would cringe but for a novice I think it came out OK. I bet the kids will LOVE IT!!!!

UPDATE: Sunshine came home and said "It's great, why does it look like a shamrock??" I should have looked up the girl scout symbol BEFORE making the cupcake cake! I mixed my years of 4-H with this new adventure in girl scouts! Oh well yet another opportunity for laughter! Hope it's yummy... it's all the poor thing it has going for it!!!!

OMG that is just tooo funny. We actually have an ugly cake contest because my sister and I always get all adventurous with cakes, and then...well, we end up with flesh colored Nemo's.

Thanks for the laugh,

I will say I thought it was super creative, and really didn't look that bad...I thought it was a girlscout cake until you mentioned 4-H...(I did 4-H) You aren't alone! you can make another one on St. Patricks day and everyone will think you are a genious!

Thanks Pie! I love the ugly cake contest... I have made a few that would win hands down! Creativity isn't always pretty but it's fun!!
