"council of dads" - too many colors

 


fuck 'em. we did good...

is definitely what i said to myself after i finished this cake. it's what i say after every cake and after pretty much everything i do.

one friend asked me to make this cake for two other friends. for folks counting at home, that's three friends for me. a friend. fuck 'em. we did good. unfortunately, not everything can be good all the time. this cake was in honor of my friends' tv show, "council of dads," getting canceled. 

you're gonna cancel that show, nbc?? with that cast?? and that aspirational, happy goodness?? with ice cream and crabs and football and queer stuff af?? fuck em', indeed. the show did have a dog, though. gross.

this was also my first time baking during a global pandemic! just that old chestnut! another badge(r) for the cake scout sash. wore my mask the whole time. wore gloves. changed those gloves over and over. washed my hands while wearing those gloves over and over. cleaned my kitchen, utensils, and tools about fifteen times. it was all such a bummer because, normally, i'm just touching stuff with my fingers, tongue, elbow, whatever. i guess it's good to try new things every now and then.

TOTAL DECORATING TIME: 3.5 hours + 11 different colors to mix for this one cake, which i think has to be a sassy badger record. there i go again, breaking records. fuck 'em. we did good.

canceled after one season,
