Haven't black people been through enough, Sandra Lee?

The way that slice of "cake" just plops onto the plate..dear god...This really IS food porn...a lot of whore paint, an emotionally vacuous leathery husk, a voice in my head saying "no look away"...the tension builds, lots of screaming, uncomfortable closeups until finally!!!! *splat*...right in your face...then feelings of guilt, shame, and regret. I think I'm going to be depressed later

I made this with my sisters to pass time once. It was like a party in our mouths where everyone was stumbling and throwing up all over the place.

I'll tell you what, love (yes, I'm trying to sound patronising), why don't you fucking learn to bake, and then bake this cake properly, instead of amateurishly slapping a bunch of sugary crap together and having the nerve to call it 'making a cake'? Because you didn't 'make' this cake. You (badly) assembled it.

I just got a shipment of Betty Crockers Angel Food cake from a friend in NYC..the rest of the ingredients I've sourced locally so I'm gonna make this quote 'incredible cake' unquote...it looks bloody delicious!

At least she takes a giant bite from her own creation instead of those sissy bites people on tv take when they're hawking their wares.

I wasn't aware that "amazing" was a synonym for "grotesque".

God that's ghetto...

The end product looks like Paula Deen's colon.

Oh Sandra, you make me sad and want to laugh at the same time.
