Icing Left Behind

Abandoned Cake
(c) accidental beauty

When I was a kid, I used to put up with the cake just for the frosting.
Now I push aside most of the frosting to get to the cake.
Although this frosting was delicious.
It was that whipped cream kind of frosting.
But I left it behind anyway...
Sometimes you have to know when to say when.

  2. i was the girl that would carefully cut off the roses on a buttercream cake to freeze them and savor them later. i still love a good buttercream.

    great shot

  3. I'm the cake person who ALWAYS abandons the icing ... except for a really perfect buttercream, the kind you seldom find. This is a great shot!

  11. Nice take on the theme! I almost always scrape off bakery frosting, but if it's my own buttercream, then that's a different matter altogether!

  16. If it had been chocolate icing I would not have been able to abandon that. Buttercream isn't so hard for me to leave behind. I'm not really a fan of it.

  17. this is a great idea for the theme.
    i have a hard time pushing aside any part of a dessert. but it is good to show some restraint sometimes i guess. i say better a little than none at all, right?
