Cake Decorating Tasks you HATE to do . . .
taking a que from Calliicious in an earlier thread . . .
What tasks do you HATE having to deal with when cake decorating?
My list . . .
1. Covering the board;
2. Cutting letters (doesn’t matter if I’m using Clickstix or Tappits or Freehand . . . I would much rather separate 3 dozen egg whites from their yolks :p );
3. Arranging those letters onto the board so they’re perfectly straight & aligned.

Cleaning up, stacking/covering cakes

lol, that made me laugh Rae! :) My ‘hate’ is making figures!! Especially if it’s for a wedding cake. I’m getting slightly better but they still look like they’re a little deformed!!
Trying to find that one tool that I need! That I know I just saw but now I cant find! Then waste an hour looking for it!!

Cleaning (CLEANING!) during and after…Takes more time than baking and decorating I think lol.
Yep I’m in the “I Hate clean up” boat too :-(
also (and I know this isn’t EXACTLY cake decorating BUT) why does the phone always ring while I’ve got my hands saturated in Crisco? Or why does the FedEx/UPS guy ALWAYS show up while I’m in the middle of rolling out a large amount of fondant????????

LOL – I can see myself in all of those situations – especially the phone ringing when I’m in the middle of “fixing” something I messed up on the cake and I’m all frustrated… I LOVE cake decorating – but I can’t stand the clean up afterwards – no matter how NEAT I try to be, I end up with a combination of flour, buttercream and Royal icing everywhere… how do I manage to be so consistant? I have black granite tops in my kitchen and every speck shows like neon lights… imagine that! :)))))

Definitely the cleaning up and carving cakes (cos it’s messy and I am not too good in it)!
