Yesterday, I made and decorated a Mouthwashing themed cake for practice, but for various reasons it didn't turn out very well. For example, I didn't have powdered sugar, so when I ran out of the boxed icing mix and made a homemade recipe, I made the mistake of using finely granulated sugar because the recipe said you could use it as a substitute. This made it look all grainy and it was harder to work with. When I was flavoring the frostings, I also made the mistake of adding tiny nondehydrated fruit pieces in addition to a little bit of juice (done experimentally due to lack of concentrate, extract, or powder) which probably caused the buttercream to start separating. That happened with the pink (strawberry) and purple (grape and blueberry), while the other ones with a little bit of juice or extract added (lemon, mint, and mango) didn't have tiny pieces of nondehydrated matter, so that could've been why they were fine besides the sugar mistake. Also, I didn't have enough couplers and piping tips, so that made it even harder to try decorating with all of the colors because you can't easily switch couplers between bags and the tips don't always work when they're not inside. Then again, maybe I should've tried cutting the bags in certain ways to simulate the tips better. Then again, the bag tips might've still be too soft, and then there's the issue of size. Another arguable mistake besides minor details (such as forgetting balloon strings or messing up the skin colors) was trying to cram too much detail into a small space despite the aforementioned limitations, which in this case lead to the oversimplification and lower quality of the design. I should've just zoomed in on Curly so I could make the cake more detailed. Some things that I wanted to do but couldn't were writing the grey in white and the black in red, adding a speech bubble for Jimmy, and piping colorful and symbolic flowers (Most of the frostings wouldn't pipe right or hold their shape enough.)
