It's very interesting....when I try to make cake in a very tight schedule, I tend to fail baking.
This is just like a saying, "Haste makes waste."
During the past months, I have failed at least three times.

This was cake that I wanted to bring to Hilo for the convention.

This was supposed to be for the Lawai International Center and Mr. & Mrs. Hashisaka.

This was for Mr. Kimoto who asked me to do the house blessing and another one was for Mr.& Mrs. Takaki.
These were the cake that I could not give because of bad looking.
However, these expereinces gave me an idea to fix the cake. I put whipping cream in order to hide its looking.

I thought the combination of the failure cake, fresh cream, and fruit were well balanced. It became very delicious.

In addition, what a great timing! I happened to realize it was my wife's birthday. The leftover failure cake turned out to be a delicious birthday cake.
Yes, haste makes wastes, but if we can be mindful, nothing can be waste.
P.s.
This shall be my reminder....I should present cake to the people above!
