My Wifes 50th birthday will be Monday. I was going to surprise her with a birthday cake tomorrow. It's a good thing I'm better at killing turkeys than I am making cakes. It's supposed to be about six inches tall and it's about a inch. At least I still have the surprise factor on my side. I plan on telling her this is by design. She's fifty so I made a cake that looks like it's 50 years old. Maybe I can fix it up with about five inches of chocalate icing.

That's just plain pitiful. Frosting should hide that awful thing, and maybe even make it taste good. Maybe. Dang! :begging: :TooFunny:

I tell her the only reason I married her is because her birthday is the day before turkey season. Get the birthday doings out of the way and I'm good all turkey season.

MY sweetie said put back in pan. Put a thick layer of frosten on it. She would not know the difference, She would think it was messed up from cutting and getting it out of pan. Then she said bless his heart at least he tried!
mix a few peaches in there and you will have some peach cobbler. :you_rock:

Not yet but I would have thought it was, just cover it in Chili and buy a cake then you have dinner and dessert covered.

As long as that was not your whole gift idea you might escape alive. You better have a plan B or she might have you on display next to all them turkey beards. Best thing to do is to put that stuff in a ziploc bag and stick it in your vest for a snack and head to a deli to pick up a real cake..........quick!
Dang Ronnie. It looks like you used the same approach to baking as you do to gobblers. That cake looks like it took a full load of #6 shot right to the face from about 6 yrds out! :TooFunny: :TooFunny:
I would go with 8 inches of frosting, just to be on the safe side! ;D
Tell her its a crumb cake. ;D
nice............. looks like u need to visit walmart ????

Agreed
Looks like one of my creations. I would definitely put some frosting or fruit on it to help cover it up. Its the thought that counts right. I hope you have a backup gift.

Shouldn't it say "A Baker, I'm Not!!.. ???
I got your back......It's the thought that counts..

Everyone says it is the thought that counts but most women want something more then the thought.
50 is hard on women, have something better in the wings, maybe a night out and then the cake.
Lots of frosting, Lots of frosting, Lots of frosting and only a couple candles.
Better get a couple jars of the pre-made frosting as frosting from scratch has more then two indgridents.
LOTS OF FROSTING.
At least nobody will call you Betty Crocker!

I'm still in trouble from the 40th birtday so it don't matter. Thanks for all the support everybody :TooFunny:
I told her I ran a trial run with the candles and apparently cakes aren't made to withstand that kind of heat.
