What I Learned From My Cake Wreck

Happy Monday Everyone!

As I turned my freshly baked cake out of the pan this weekend, I experienced what’s known as a “cake wreck.”  And it was spectacular.  Unkind words flowed as the cake split apart into large chunks that toppled in many different directions.  My daughter swept in to admire my handiwork and grab a picture of the underbaked chunks for posterity.  In reflecting on the bake, I didn’t test as thoroughly as I usually do.  I also wanted the process to be finished so I could move on to the rest of my evening, which would now be cut short by the cake re-make.  Heavy sigh.  Measure twice, cut once.
