something always goes wrong

Oh jeez! Everytime I cook for the family something always goes wrong. Something's undercooked, too salty or peppery or sweet. This time I made cake. Mother had bought three layers of pastry. I was just supposed to put jam and sourcream on each layer. So I did. When mother went to taste my cake she discovered I had left the thin layers of paper in aswell. :D Oh my god! The paper was so thin I thought it was pastry. I mean one side of the pastry did look different than the other but I thought it's just how it's made. Luckily mother could rearrange the cake and remove the papers.
