Perseverance

The little niece turned one yesterday. I was baking cupcakes for her party today and had batter left over, so I decided to make a small cake. However, the round cake pan was already being used for something else, so I improvised and ended up with a somewhat misshapen cake. Things only got worse when I cut it into two layers and then couldn't quite realign them properly. I also discovered that --- contrary to my belief --- frosting does not hide all faults. Anyhoo, I ultimately rallied and am pretty satisfied with the result. I mean, it could have been sooo much worse.
