Instant Cake

[davidn]

1. Go to the supermarket and buy a box of cake mix. Realize halfway back that said box doesn't include icing.
2. Go back to the supermarket and buy icing. Go back home.
3. Go back out to the supermarket and retrieve the icing from where you left it on the counter after buying it. Trudge back home.

I think I'll just stay in bed for the rest of the week.

Well, it's... not the worst thing involving cooking ingredients you've ever done....

Perhaps the universe was trying to stop me attempting anything with them.

Yes, let's go with this theory until further notice, just in case.

I'd settle for a pre-made cake from the bakery department at this point. ^^

Even the baker! I thought you would be appalled enough at the idea of just getting cake that springs out of a box.

Even some days I prefer the simplicity of a cake mix or a pre-made cake. A few days ago, I was grumbling because there was no chocolate cake at the supermarket, and I didn't want to make one. (I think this was around the same time I was stressing out about the giant order.)

There's something definitely different between a from-scratch and a cake-mix cake, though. I guess it comes from growing up and having every cake being a "box cake"

I bet now that you're done with all that you don't want to look at cake for a very long time.

It was very nice in the end. It felt like I'd earned it.
