Today, I baked a strawberry cake and I didn't have any fresh strawberries for garnish, so I used a can of strawberry pie filling. My neighbors said it looked like the cake was taken from the dumpster behind an abortion clinic. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I baked strawberry muffins for my family, putting half a strawberry on each of them. Only when it was too late did I realize that they looked like extremely creepy breasts. FML
Today, I brought a “safe” store-bought cake to a potluck and dropped it on the sidewalk while getting out of the car. I showed up anyway, carrying the box like it was still fine. It was not. FML
Today, I spent hours baking an apple pie to impress my future mother-in-law. I was especially proud of the fact I'd made the crust and filling myself. When I served it to her, she picked off the crust and, between mouthfuls, bitched that it was nothing like canned pie filling. FML
Today, I woke up early and spent hours baking and icing a three-tier cake for my friend's eighteenth birthday, which is this evening. I just found out my mother threw it in the compost bin because she's on a diet and it was "tempting" her. FML
Today, I brought a cupcake to school for my friend's birthday. After taking one bite, she exclaimed that it was the worst thing she had ever tasted and that we should sue the store that I bought it from. I baked it myself. FML
Today, a coworker left a chocolate cake on the "free food" table in the office. I had a slice. She's just called to ask if she left her grandmother's birthday cake at work. She made it from scratch. Now I'm baking a new cake in the office kitchen. FML
Today, I tried to bake a cake for my friend's birthday. It turned out looking more like a science experiment gone wrong than a cake. FML
Today, I was at a barbecue. I picked up a piece of cake and began complaining to the man next to me about how horrible it tasted. "This tastes like shit!" I said. His wife baked it. FML
Today, after telling my mother-in-law about my recent miscarriage, she cheerfully made a cake to celebrate. FML
Today, at the supermarket, I bought a cake and had my friend's name put on it. It wasn't anyone's birthday, I just wanted to feel less ashamed about buying a whole cake for myself. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

The real question is why your neighbors hang around dumpsters behind abortion clinics.

Your neighbors have a weird location to want to hang out.

Don't judge a book by it's cover! ...or a cake by it's garnish.....

"You will be baked, and then there will be cake." (I'm not even paraphrasing that much...)

I would have just left the filling off or dumped the filling into a strainer and run water over it till all that is left is the strawberries. I would then cut them as planned. For all of you that says that ad long it tastes good... That's not true, you eat with your eyes. if something looks bad you are 6 times less likely to even try it, let alone easy a serving. Being an Executive Chef I would know things like this.

You realise there are very different standards for professional and home baking, right?

Who cares what your neighbor says. Did you enjoy it? That's all that matters.

The real question is... Why the cluck would you make a strawberry cake if you didn't have any clucking strawberries?

the berries were for garnish, I used a lil strawberry powder in the box mix to kick up the flavor.

In my family we have a saying, "The worse it looks, the better it tastes." Your cake must have been delicious because placenta is the grossest looking thing I can think of!
