So this all happened yesterday, I just totally forgot to post anything about it cause it was longish.
So I am currently at my grandparent’s lake house with my parents, 2 little brothers, my aunt, my cousin, my grandpa, and my mom’s cousin.
My mom’s cousin and I are only about 4 years apart, so we decided to do this together. The entire family was watching Nailed It all day. So we decided we wanted to bake a cake.
Then My mom, MC, and me, all went to the store and bought $40 worth of cake ingredients, including 4 containers of frosting, 3 boxes of cake, and vanilla and lemon extract.
When we get back MC and I are just starting to prepare the lemons so that we could juice them and add it to the cake. I then realize how MC and I have basically the same level of maturity when we both make that’s what she said jokes and he bites into the rind of a juiced lemon.(Don’t question our logic, we were having fun)
I got some lemon extract on my hand , so I licked it off. It felt like my mouth was burning.
MC then asked me “what are the odds that I take a shot of this lemon extract?”
So he gets a spoon cause he ain’t gonna take a full shot of the extract, that shot was expensive, and I pour some in it.(apparently too much cause I have shaky hands, cause he dumped some of it into the batter.) He then gets to experience the mouth burning. (I felt bad later that he actually drank some, so I later took a “shot” of the lemon extract.)
We go back to baking and just making a mess of the kitchen. We didn’t realize that 3 boxes makes 6 cakes. So we make a 6 tier tall mess of a cake. 5 cakes go in the oven cause we gotta smallish oven. We then work of the frosting, where we put vanilla extract inside.
We then do what are the odds again, and both end up taking shots of vanilla extract
We gets the cakes out and he frosts his layers and I frost mine.
We tried to add sprinkles but they didn’t work so he made a “piping bag”. That then proceeded to pop and kinda just became an annoyance, but we wiped off the extra frosting.
I then attempted to make roses out of strawberries.
My mom got us a tarp thing, and we dropped while saying nailed it. After we had a slice, we took actual shots of the leftover lemon juice.
A lot of shit happened, but this took forever.
This is what the cake looked like. It was a strawberry lemon cake. I did the strawberry layer, and I made the pink and orange frosting, but I only frosted the orange. He did the rest.
It was a surprisingly good, the family liked it. I found this funny, so I wanted to tell people. We could only taste lemon and vanilla for like hours.
