I really should have done a trial run for the mandolin cake--it's not terrible, but maybe would have been much better if I'd sacrificed cake, frosting and time to make two. It's mostly the Gumby-colored "Happy Birthday" that looks like crap. I should have stuck with a classic cake. I'll have to refer back to this next time I do an instrument cake:
-use larger writing tip for outlines
-leave neck "bare" of fill-ins
-don't even try to write "happy birthday" on it :)
-green frosting is difficult to make blue (=Gumby)
I've done the math, and I think I can afford to move into an apartment...Johnny seemed interested actually. I think between the two of us that we could afford some kind of decent rental house. I might actually give that subject a try. If my parents are leaving us the house anyways, why not get out and be away from them/it as soon as I can? I need to get out now, and preserve a decent relationship with them and be on my own. And now I have to make myself go to bed...is it bad that I am looking forward to caramel coffee tomorrow?
