Who doesn't love the Food Network? Lately my favorites have been Cupcake Wars and Cake Challenge. As I watch these shows, of course I think "I can do that...easy" How hard is it to bake a cake? put frosting on it? and make it look like this...

It's difficult
people!!!
(I'm embarrassed to even claim it as my own)
I worked really hard on this cake, I think that's what makes it so sad.
