Depression

So today, I invited my friend over to make something. Since tomorrow is my other friend's birthday, we decided to make a cake for him. I wanted to make something new without a recipe, so we said let's make a white chocolate roll cake with peach frosting. It sounded really good and we made the cake really well. Then, things started to turn. I flipped the cake too slowly onto the towel and the cake folded on itself. I started panicking and my friend just said to calm down and unfold it. We unfolded the cake, but I had forgotten to flour the towel with powdered sugar so it stuck to the towel. We somehow got it off and was able to roll it into a roll cake. It still tasted good but I'm kind of a perfectionist so I was really depressed. This is how it turned out when we tried to make it a bit more presentable.


As you can see, it didn't really hide the fact that there was a mistake. But it still tasted good so we told our friend "We'll make you something tomorrow on your birthday!" We told him that we made bread pudding today... We cut the roll cakes and put them in a container and just ate it like that. It was still pretty good so when I make it next time, I'll put up the recipe and a better presentation of the cake!
