Crockery and Kerfuffles

I recently decided to make a strawberry cake to take to school, and I followed an online recipe for the cream cheese strawberry icing. However, something went awry, for instead of icing, I ended up with a soupy pink glob. Granted it tasted good, but it was definitely not the right texture to qualify it as icing. Two packages of cream cheese, three pounds of confectioner’s sugar, and oodles of cornstarch later, I finally ended up with a concoction that would sit instead of drip down the cake, although the "icing" took out my mixer in the process. But the kitchen, cake, and I all managed to recover from the icing kerfuffle, although the mixer had to be thrown away.

That online recipe was a crock. Similarly, anytime we try to follow a person instead of Jesus or guidelines instead of Scripture, we end up in a kerfuffle. And the results are much worse than my original batch of icing.

I never did get to eat a slice of that cake...
