My daughter asked me to make a cake with only cream, so I did. While making it, I practiced my piping skills. I wanted the cake to look vintage. I've been getting into cake decorating lately. It looks a lot like the last one I made

Excuse the basic question, but did you use powdered sugar or granulated sugar? And is it 10 percent by weight or volume?

It’s granulated sugar and 10 percent by weight.

I agree with your daughter: it looks fantastic!

This is so cute! Great job! Definitely looks like cafe material.

So from the last image, it seems I took ‘only cream’ too literally.

Please be understanding. I’m still learning English and didn’t mean to cause any confusion.

She’s going to cry because you put a strawberry on top. Plain pasta means plain pasta!

Yes, the leap from just enjoying baking to a poor single mom. It happens a lot.

Could you explain what she meant? I’m not great with English. I know it wasn’t nice, but I’m confused why she said it.

She is implying her mother struggled after a divorce and is assuming your situation is similar. Honestly, I don’t understand why she said that.

Thanks for clarifying. She might be having a tough time.

She thinks that because you bake beautiful cakes, you might be doomed to a rough life. It’s unnecessary and silly. Keep doing what you do, that cake is adorable!
