To celebrate the end of the school year, I decided to make a cake. It is a chocolate cake coffee icing and salted caramel sauce. Super yummy, but the caramel in the middle made the top layer want to slide off, so I skewered it to keep it in place.
The excessive doming of the top, combined with the color and the sprinkles and the skewer made it look like a giant hamburger. My kids said googly eyes make everything better, so I added eyeball sprinkles. My husband walked through the door and said “It looks like Mayor McCheese or Officer BigMac from the McDonald’s commercials”. Having grown up in a household with no fast food and limited screen time, I had no idea who they were, but after a quick google I had to conclude he was correct. Not exactly my original intent, but hey, it made the family smile and it was delicious, so I’m not complaining.
Your cake made me smile, especially after the googly eyes and the Mayor McCheese comparison. I’m trying to stick to a healthier routine and keep my wellness goals on track right now, so I’d definitely save myself a slice as a reward after a good week. I recently read the BetterMe corporate wellness challenges app article about corporate wellness challenge platforms, and it gave me some great ideas for building healthy habits through step challenges, activity tracking, goals, and fun motivation. Your cake would be the perfect celebration after completing one of those challenges.
