Ace of Cakes and other TV news.

Occasionally I enjoy an episode of Ace of Cakes on the Food Network. I like the show; I think they make amazing cakes. Some of them are engineering marvels. They make planes! Out of cake! With airbrushed clouds! They made Hogwarts Castle! And drove it across the country! I am always amazed at what they can pull together. And now for the good part.

Would I ever eat one of their creations? Hell the fuck no. And let me tell you why:

1. Fondant. On everything. Fondant is essentially a mixture of sugar and water. It's super sweet and super disgusting and eating any amount of fondant will fast track you straight to diabetes land. No one wants that.
2. Germs. Whenever anyone that is decorating a cake on this show they breathe ALL OVER the cake. Whilst they narrate what they're doing. I can't stand it because my mind starts to work overtime and I start thinking about germs. And what they've done with their mouth in the last 24 hours. And why on God's green Earth are they spitting and breathing all over the cake.
3. More germs. The people working on these cakes will scratch their nose and then touch the cake. Then they'll run their fingers through their hair and then touch the cake. Dude, they're called rubber gloves. You guys should look into it.
4. If you bake a cake on Tuesday and it takes you all week to decorate it is it still edible by Saturday.....shouldn't it be stale? And gross?

Honestly, you folks have no idea how much time I spend thinking about cake.


In other news the Writer's Strike is over and I couldn't be happier about it. As discussed above I was just not meant to watch any reality TV. I realize I'll have to wait for fall for new episodes but finally, there'll be more Gossip Girl! JL turned me onto it and yes, it's a guilty pleasure. I need to see the queen of colored tights (that would be Blair Waldorf) exact her revenge on everyone and I need to see Chuck Bass worship at her feet. However, secretly all I really need to know is when is that damn Serena van der Woodsen going to start endorsing hair care products because seriously ya'll, both she and her hair are so very pretty.

What I am listening to: Ingrid Michaelson - Die Alone

I think I may have to buy them for myself for Valentine's Day.
