Who doesn’t love a delicious slice of cake? Of course, not all of us are professional bakers. But that won’t stop us from trying our hardest. After all, how difficult could it be?

As it turns out, pretty darn difficult. Those beautiful cakes you see on Pinterest were made by people who’ve practiced their craft for years. They’ve messed up over and over again until achieving perfection. Just like with music, the only way to get good at cake baking and decorating is “practice, practice, practice.”

As for the rest of us, we don’t have as much experience. When trying our hand at making a cake, we might be surprised to find out we have a talent for it. But more than likely, we’ll end up with a disaster on our hands.

Ultimately, the most important thing about cake is that it tastes good. We can forgive the ugliest creation if it tastes amazing. But you can bet we’ll still take pictures of those ugly cakes and laugh at them. And yeah, we might post them on the internet. But don’t worry, it’s all in good fun.
