Signs you've been baking lots of cake...

You take the cake out to fill and frost and can't remember what type it is. Oh well, that's what vanilla filling is for, right?

I tried a new vanilla filling recipe and Dan loved it. I didn't taste it before filling the cake, so when Dan came home from work I gave him a spoonful to try. "Do you like it?"

"It tastes like ice cream!"
