One of those days!!

You know......those days when you really want everything to be perfect and NOTHING IS!!!! I have made this strawberry layer cake about 100+ times. I never think about what I'm doing. I never stress over it. It's always perfect and a hit. So for Nic's birthday, his mom asked me to make a cake/dessert to bring to her house. The entire crew was to be there(that includes Nic's mom, step-dad, Nic, me , Blake, Lana, Hunter, Matt, Grace, Mark, Christina, Hoss, and January). This is just immediate family but it's still a lot of people to feed. I get up and start making everything and all is well until..........I start mixing my whipped icing. It was runny. I did everything the same and it flopped. Nic is trying to calm me. I'm growing more angry by the second. And I start to assemble the layers. Cake, then strawberries, then whipped icing, cake, then strawberries, then whipped icing(with a little force from frustration), then last layer of cake BAM!!!!!!! I lost it. I slammed the last layer on and lost it. That explains the picture. My hand may have gone through a layer or two. Needless to say it still tasted good. I cut it up and put it in a nice parfait bowl and it looked perfect. I brought it to his mom's and brought it home empty. Why I let stupid things upset me so much I'll never know.

I hate how those little things can make us soo angry. Cooking can definitly that! It sounds like you had a great recovery though. Way to get creative.
