...well, i hate to be a baby and i'm usually pretty tough, but i was not feeling emotionally well today and i tried to "soldier on".....sooo, I worked real hard on making a special Easter cake for my family dinner (spent nearly 2 hours in the kitchen)...and only my 2 and a half year old nephew ate any of this special cake.
my sil bought a pie (even tho she knew i was bringing dessert) and i guess everyone else preferred the store-bought thing to the homemade special cake i made...it really hurt my feelings.
i rarely get my feelings hurt b/c i'm very tough, but gosh darn, why can't people just politely at least try a little bit of something i made special for the occasion?!?!?
and if i complain out loud to anyone in my family, then they will say i'm being too sensitive...altho, i have to listen to my siblings being sensitive all the freakin time and i politely listen to their hurt feelings....
....well at least i can share it here in cyberspace where maybe someone in cyber-ville will care (actually the silly drama of me trying to make this Easter Lamb cake garnered lots of conversation and laughter over on Facebook...so i guess somebody was "tasting" my hard work!?!??!)!!

Your family is truly blessed to have a female who goes above and beyond to try and make something special. Your kids will appreciate that so much over the years. I love your cake and used to do the same thing when my kids were small. Sometimes the feeling of satisfaction will be only felt by us. But rest assured your effort shows that you are a terrific Mom who always goes the extra length to make something special. Rest peacefully in that knowledge.
We have all been there. With all of my "culinary adventures" my kids can hardly wait to tell the horrors of my peanut butter pasta...geesh, I made it once and you'd think I force fed them this crap every week. We laugh about it a lot, but sometimes it kinda hurts my feelings, like this one major (bad tasting, I admit) disaster is the essence of everything I make. I thought you did a great job of saving the cake! If my siblings get enough wine with dinner, they'll eat anything for dessert! Tackle it again next year girl!
I've been there many times and I'm sorry you were hurt!
hugs friend!
