Happy New Year!

If anyone here has seen the show Nailed It! On Netflix, it's a show where people that are.....not great.....at baking compete to make difficult desserts. We decided to have a competition with our cousins.....
Here is the cake we were trying to make....

And here's the cake we made!!!

Spoiler: Disaster

Nailed It! (Yes it's ok to laugh at this truly glorious attempt)
We had two hours to make this artful piece of garbage. We didn't have enough icing to do a full border, so we did......blobs.
We also didn't have four cake pans of the same size for all four layers used in the original cake, so ours is only two layers, which explains the height problems. Guess who didn't have enough powdered sugar to make the icing? Guess who had to blend granulated sugar in a food processer! Guess who didn't blend it enough! Guess who's frosting now has a visible sugar texture!
\We had a lot of fun making it and it tastes good, which I suppose is what counts.
Given proper time and not a whole bunch of pressure, I could have made an actually good cake lol

What a great idea having a baking contest.
The cake looks delicious.
