When your creativity blanks out...

This is what happens when the brain stops working..

I usually go in to work on Thursday. I have to go in tomorrow. A last minute adjustment. I was planning to take a cake for my colleague's birthday last week. I had cold and didn't have energy to make a cake. I had the cake in the freezer from last weekend. I had frosting. All I had to do was to ice and decorate.

I am a big time planner. I think a lot about what ever I have to do and if I don't have time to think, this is what happens. I blanked out. I had no clue how to decorate this cake. You see, I used to take a 9 X 13 cake before to work for birthdays and every bit would be eaten. People have started working from home too much and there are hardly people in the office nowadays. I had to make a very small cake which decorating is hard since there is hardly space to do anything. I wasn't really happy with it when I finished it. But, I think it is alright. What do you think?
Another picture..

Enjoy!!
