I just had to post this for the laughter value out of it. 
My DSS (stepson) who is 25 was bringing his new girlfriend over to meet the family. His dad and I have been divorced for the last 8 years but are still best friends, so we organized to have dinner at his dads place. 
I offered to make dessert for the occasion. So yesterday I baked a chocolate cake with alternating layers of fresh strawberries filling and white chocolate ganache, covered in chocolate ganache.
Make cake............ turns out beautifully. 
Take cake to dinner, everybody woo's and ahh's over it. 
Then girlfriend states, ' I can never get my cakes to layer like that, how do you get it so perfect?'
I asked her how she was trying to tort her cakes.
She said with a very straight face. " I put a layer of cake batter in the pan then a layer of filling and then another layer of cake batter and bake it, but it never turns out looking like that" 
What the ????????? I had to walk out of the room just so I didnt embarass myself by laughing hysterically.
Later I find out that my DSS had told her that to make a checkerboard cake you just keep dropping alternating layers of cake batter into the pan!!! 
If only it was that easy
O, funny! I must say I think I will sound like that if I try any other form of art other than cake decorating - like beads. My twin does beading and I had to stop asking questions because she kept on giving me these funny looks. She is much better with rookie cake decorator (my thing) than I am a rookie beader (her thing).
ROTFLMAO.........That is just too funny. No wonder people think cake decorators just throw cakes together in no time and charge too much.

That is hilarious!!! At least you were able to compose yourself and leave the room before laughing. Did you tell her how it is done? What did she say?
OMG that is so hillarious! I'm dying to know what you told her and what her reaction to the "truth" was lol
No offense intended, but just for fun I have to ask: Is she blonde?
Oh my goodness, I would have p(&^% my pants( mmmm, I have no class) then when I could walk again, gotten up hugged her and welcomed her to the family. That is totally something I would have done in the early days!!!!
Did you tell her the secret?
thank you for my laugh of the day
well.. harumph!! I smear buttercream all around inside the pan, THEN pour in the batter.. THEN pour in a layer of filling.. Wham bam! Cake done!!
Whats the matter with you people! Let's get with the program!!
Sugar_Plum_Fairy, how did you manage to guess that? She is a blonde
And yes, I did explain how to tort and fill
Her reply: So it's just like slicing a roll in half and filling with salad 
Not quite dear
Some people just dont get it!!!!

YEP JUST LIKE FILLING A ROLL WITH CHICKEN SALAD!!!! Just with out the roll and chicken salad!
Poor child....some people make you want to just pat their little heads and move on!
That is so funny - I almost spit out my coffee.
Okay we know she's a blonde. Is she a true blonde or a bottle blonde. If she's a bottle blonde they dye could be seeping into her brain cells and that's why she thinks that way. If she's a true blonde then all we can do is pray for her.
No offense intended, but just for fun I have to ask: Is she blonde?
Hey now! I resemble that remark....
Ladies as we go to sleep tonight............... PRAY ,
she is a true blonde!
Poor child needs our prayers
Sometimes the mind of a genius can't grasp simple things... our minds are so busy formulating quantum physics theories you know. :-p
ROTFLMFAO!!!
when I stop laughing (especially because of the salad part), I'll try to pray.
Lets all bow our heads and pray that one night in the middle of the night she'll jump up from a dead sleep and say" OH YEAH NOW I GET HOW SHE DID THAT"
Just Nod and Smile Just Nod and Smile
