Sounds a little gross you say - not to worry. The only Avocado in this post is the one that comes in an Americolor bottle, used to colour the buttercream frosting! That does not mean I've ruled it out - Avocado mixed with a little almond extract, icing sugar and water, pulsed in a food processor would probably produce a consistency perfect of piping. I'd have to experiment with the taste, of course - but it could be the first 'healthy' icing/frosting. But I digress...
Ruffled cakes were a hit in 2011 and continues to be a popular choice for wedding/celebrations cakes this year according to the so-called trend experts. I have seen this particular style of ruffle cake on a number of blogs and Facebook pages and I was instantly drawn to it.
A former U.S. president puts it best in one of his infamous quotes, "Good intentions aren't good enough."*

We've all had baking/decorating disasters and it is the brave and honest baker that takes photos and posts about them. I can imagine how shocked and disappointed you were when all your hard work on the ruffles started heading south. No matter in the long run though, you were able to spend some lovely time with your sister and you all enjoyed a delicious cake. Just goes to show, you can never tell a book by it's cover or in this case, a cake by it's icing 🙂
