There is a little story behind the making of this cake...
this was the weekend that i had 3 cakes to due. one friday, one sat, and one sun. Well After i was finished and dropped the first two cakes off i decided to finish the 3rd cake. Its easier for me to have hot spatula to smooth the frosting so like i have done hundred of times before i put a huge cup of water in the microwave and set it on 4 mins so it would be nice and hot. Well 4 mins went by and i pulled the cup out and in went my spatula. Then There went 2 cups of boiling water on my left hand... I dropped the cup and put my hand under cold running water. Well the burn was there.. 1st degree and 2nd degree and honestly the worst pain i have EVER been in. I quickly put the unfinished cake into my fridge call my BFF Kat Who is a wonderful cake decorator and life saver, Explaining my situation she told me she would be over at 8am to finish the cake! AHH what a life saver. I decided to lay on the couch with my hand in a bucket of ice water for the next 36 hours. I called a Dr. and she told me to Ice, elevated and to do hand stretches. Today i'm not in much pain but i'm still very swollen and its a little discolored. healing more and more every day. I guess that was gods way of telling me 3 cakes in the weekend is a little much to do.
