I made a cookie cake on Friday to decorate for my bf's firefighters' party on Saturday night. I had a picture of a firetruck to do a FBCT, something I've done several times, but it's been a while.
While I was doing the colors, I noticed the oil from the buttercream seeping into the paper, but I didn't realize what I had done until I went to put it on the cookie!
I'd forgotten the parchment paper!!
(probably because I was PO'd at my bf for bringing me margarine when I very clearly asked for butter! ("What? There's a difference?"))
Much of the black outline stuck to the paper, but I managed to (mostly) fix it.
I thought it looked bad enough that I didn't even take a picture, but everyone at the party kindly "oohed and aahed" over it.
You poor thing. Sorry it didn't turn out the way you wanted. I'm sure it wasn't as bad as you thought though, since we're our own worst critics.
Did I mention that I used basil leaves instead of mint leaves in my chocolate mint ganache.............?

Basil leaves? YUCK!
Risque -- let's just say he doesn't have refined tastes! I was SO clear in my list for him, too! Which had TWO items on it. I really didn't think he could mess it up.... *shakes head* Now I know better!
It was a 14-inch cookie; I made it in a pizza pan!
Isn't it amazing what they can mess up so quickly! There have been numerous times when I'd be in the middle of something and realized I either forgot to pick something up or ran out of something so I would ask him to run to the store....he would either forget to grab what I asked for or grab the wrong stuff! Now when he goes he calls me from the store to make sure he's got the right stuff and everything that I asked for! He even called to ask me what size wax paper I wanted!
My boyfriend couldn't find the cream one day so he got whole milk thinking it was the same thing... :sigh: What to do with em, eh? Bless their harts for trying! 
my husband would have probably done the same thing. AGH! but i'm sure it wasn't that bad...we are our worst critics.
Glad it turned out ok. Margerine instead of butter! Grr..they never listen. I have to give my hubby the list and then tell him to call me when he gets to the store. Literally, I had to tell him. Ok. When you're in the front of the store, go to your left. Go down the second isle. Middle shelf. Get meringue powder, cylinder type container -white with purple writing. Ok. Great. Look up . See the cake sparkles..no not the sugar crystals, I said look UP!. Perfect. Now, turn around. Look at the wall. Find star shaped fondant cutters. Yes, right in front of you about eye level! Great. Thank you and please bring them home! Guess I can't complain tooooo much.. I did make him go to Michaels for me-which he said didnt make him feel very manly. LOL
Your stories are funny.
My friend sent her husband to the store for whipping cream and he came back with cream cheese so she sent him back and he came back with sour cream or coffe creamer so she gave up.
I can't send my husband to the store because he always comes back with taco sauce. We have three jars in the pantry and he always thinks we're out.
Lol. Is he trying to tell you he wants tacos?
I think men mess up our lists so we wont send them again.

OMG---YOUR HUSBAND and MY HUSBAND were separated at birth!! That's it! Long lost twins!
Seriously, though; If I'm just unable to go and send him, I go through the same thing; If he goes to the cake supply, I just call ahead and let them get the order together for me--no mistakes that way! Bless his heart--he's a good one, though. Most other things he's great on.

oh my God!!! that taco sauce is hilarious, i think that is a little hint...

dh is sitting here reading this with me and he said "yup thats right" when every i send him to the store he always call's me too. for two reason to make sure he gets the right stuff and to see if there is anything eles i for got to put on the list. lol
That's why I have two girls that drive they understand my madness and get the right thing.
at least you have husbands that will GO into a grocery store. Mine worked in one for 14 years and now I can not get him to cross the threshold of one. 
He does now the difference between butter and margarine, and he can tell you right where they would have it in stocked too.
