Choose the hardest cake you can possibly find to make.
Combine the ingredients, stand back and smile at the resulting perfection you’ve achieved with your mixture. Place in tin.
Check cake midway through cooking, only to topple the whole thing over in the oven. The oven cleaned painstakingly by your husband only a week before.
Start from scratch. Find yourself doubting the consistency of the mixture because you’ve rushed it.
Put the cake in the oven. Stay 10 feet away from the oven for entire 1.5 hours of cooking. Worry about the result for entire 1.5 hours of cooking.
Take the cake out of the oven. Be concerned by the crystalisation on the top of the cake.
Turn the cake out onto a cooling rack. Be concerned about the colour of the cake.
Spend the entire day playing with fondant while you decorate the cake into a masterpiece.
Make a batch of cupcakes as a backup in case the cake is inedible.
Day of the birthday: Watch people ooh and aah over the cake.
Cut the cake. Nervously. Offer a piece with a large dollop of apology on the side. Followed by: here, have a sausage roll.
Receive (surprisingly) wonderful feedback about the taste of your cake.
Hide the cupcakes.
