I’m planning a Mario and Luigi (mostly just Luigi) birthday party for tomorrow, and wanted to go all out with a mushroom themed cake to go with it. I haven’t been getting much sleep recently and when I told my mom about my ideas, she warned me that I’d regret taking on so much and I’d stay up late and just ruin my sleep even more. I called her a fusspot and hung up the phone after some more back and forth teasing. I knew I could prove her wrong so I started making decorations and baking the cakes early in the morning when I had time. The first cake was just finishing when my day was about to get busy (around like 11am), which I thought was perfect timing. I wasn’t really home to bake the other two tiers until about 7:00pm. But that meant I’d be done around 9pm (adding time for cooling in there) and that I was right and I could totally do this, suck it. However, when I went to open the cake mixes I glanced at the back and realized it called for eggs.
I didn’t put any eggs in the first one.
I thought maybe I could ignore that fact and move on with my life, but when I touched the first cake to check it out it was both dense and super crumbly. Which was a problem because it’s the base layer of this whole thing. So I end up making the bottom layer all over again, waiting for them to cool, and putting the cakes in the fridge at around 11:45pm. And now I’m sitting and writing this because I know my mom is right but I will not admit it til at least a week has passed. She will gloat about it (lovingly) for like days.
TL;DR: Mom said making a cake would make me sleepy, I said no then promptly fucked up the cake resulting in me staying up late to remake it.
Edit to break up post body wrote that on Iphone ugh.
