Cold sores and burnt Cake

Wow! it was a crazy weekend I had two cakes to do this weekend and both turned out great. with that being said i was realy stressed about them, so much that I stressed my way into a cold sore on my bottom lip. Thats a real delicious experience presenting someone with a cake and BOOM! there's a big old cold sore on your lip, I think those things can make even the most confident person feel insecure, and overly self conscious, I put some cream on and covered it with a slice of garlic and a bandage and my 9yr old comes to me and innocently says "Mom you look like your wearing a chin strap for football" it was funny and let me know how ridiculous I was acting and looking with all that dangling on my bottom lip, I was just trying to speed up the healing process of this treacherous crusty annoyance on my lip.....WOOOOSAAAAA! All is going great im really feeling more confident every week about my skills and im having fun, however I always want every cake to turn out perfect, not the case this weekend... I ended up burning 2 cakes thursday night and had a tantrum under my breath while the smoke alarms went off and here comes my husband strolling into the kitchen and in this cool collective tone he says "babe its just cake all bakers make these types of mistakes its a great learning experience, its just cake its not brain surgery you havent made a fatal error that cant be fixed" Im thinking ya okay you dont get it at all,...then I realized he was right OR... he's been watching way too much Ace of Cakes with Duff because thats what he always says on the show. So after cooling off we ate dinner and ended the weekend roasting marshmallows and making smores on the patio
