oh what a day! Had a cupcake bouquet for a friend of my moms. Due at 10am this morning. Well due to the fillings, they couldn't be out of the fridge for more than 24 hours... So I had everything done but my smbc and assembling the bouquet.
So I go to make my version of smbc. Same concept but I omit some of the butter... Ive done this recipe like 10 times without a problem.... This morning... Everything looked like it was coming out. Stiff peaks the norm. I made up all my smbc. Filled my bags... Then magically, they all separated. Come to find out hubby disassembled my candy thermometer and put it in the dishwasher! I tested it this evening and it's all screwed up... Ugg no matter how many times I insist I'll wash my cake stuff, the only time he does dishes is when there's some special baking tool lol.
So I resorted to my old school decorators buttercream. The recipe I've perfected over the last 2 years and have absolutely no problem making it... Well guess what... IT DIDN'T WORK EITHER? Had to pump it with ps just to get it to hold a rose.., and then it was dry so I'd thin it out the way I always do and it was mush! I've made this recipe 100s of times... Always with the same ingredients... Always with the same technique... My husband even knows the recipe and he tried it and it failed!
What on earth is going on!
Needless to say I caused people to be 45 minutes late. I sent out a product that was pretty but it wasn't up to my standards and I seriously insisted they not pay me but they did anyways. And all day I've felt like crap about it.... Never had I had sooooo many things go wrong in 1 day
