I think I might have just sat down and cried at any given point, and then started screaming and throwing cake into the trash. So bravo for salvaging it!Lindsey@pickyeatingshttp://pickyeatings.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2166220907811204926.post-86672249212244692842009-12-21T01:52:49.835-05:002009-12-21T01:52:49.835-05:00Looks yummy to me. <br /><br />I will share a story of making a cake for the first time with our adopted daughters. They love to bake, etc. But we had never attempted to make a cake with them. So over Thanksgiving the girls and I made the Hersheys Cocoa cake off the box. Well, with two very active girls, I had poured the cake in the pans before I realized I&#39;d left out the sugar! I also didn&#39;t evidently grease and flour enough because the cake was yummy but stuck to the pan. However, we all had a hand in it. Husband took it out and assembled it on a cake stand, and then &#39;glued&#39; it together with frosting (the frosting recipe on the Hersheys box that I used my hand mixer with).<br /><br />It was the best cake, and all of us were proud of making it. It was a bit of a madhouse with the girls (next time I will be more organized). And they loved eating something they had made and it got us in the kitchen creating a cake. Reminded me of when my mom and I used to bake together. <br /><br />Sometimes the cakes you have to salvage turn out to be the best cakes. And in our case, we had a good memory of making the first cake by scratch with our girls for the first time. :-)Family of 4....http://www.blogger.com/profile/01960033723429432259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2166220907811204926.post-17100497870583612992009-12-19T14:12:21.134-05:002009-12-19T14:12:21.134-05:00it was a great post, hannah! i applaud you for your efforts to salvage the cake!Gracehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02368850949339758604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2166220907811204926.post-50309381784702666452009-12-18T19:56:23.508-05:002009-12-18T19:56:23.508-05:00That&#39;s perseverance...very impressive.Elhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03352365482790301497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2166220907811204926.post-90794229918253492392009-12-18T19:28:10.563-05:002009-12-18T19:28:10.563-05:00Saw your post on the Kitchn and it gave me such relief. I am just starting baking, seriously just starting, and am learning the different ways cookies can just not turn out right. Its nice to know that you don&#39;t have to be a complete beginner for the food to win sometimes. (Though I&#39;m sure it will eventually happen less.)travelingdomestichttp://travelingdomestic.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2166220907811204926.post-46503007045518838292009-12-18T17:58:18.357-05:002009-12-18T17:58:18.357-05:00Good for you on the guest post.
