Busy weird weekend

My parents birthday weekend just past. I was so excited to make their cake and try some new techniques but life throws curve balls. This time I was so sick from a bug I felt so achy and drained on Thursday and Friday I was worried about making their dinner and dessert on Saturday. Friday I felt bad for the people I worked for I probably was no help at all. I went to bed real early on Friday and got up 12 hours later. My body didn't feel like I slept that long.
Besides that the oven is still working when it wants to so baking the cake was interesting. Also my technique that I wanted to try was freezing the frosting that I made a design on wax paper so it would go on the cake and looked like I free handed it. I don't know what went wrong my frosting didn't freeze so I had to throw that idea away. I piped happy birthday on the cake and decorated it with dots. Not my best but the flavor of the very chocolately cake made up for it.
