One of my friends likes me to share my cooking disasters so she feels more “normal.” So, in the name of authenticity, check this out. Today I planned to make 3 cakes.
Cake A: Made a lemon pound cake from scratch. Fresh lemon zest, fresh squeezed juice…etc. It was about 5 minutes from done and we had to leave. We were already late to an activity. Surely the hot pan would continue cooking the cake a little, right? Wrong. Cake A wasn’t done in the center. Cake A is in the trash.
Cake B: 6-layer chocolate cake from scratch. I figured I’d just make that one and let it cool overnight. Got all the way down the recipe…to the buttermilk. We have no buttermilk. Publix is closed, and we live in the boonies.
Cake C: Vanilla pound cake from scratch. Calls for 3 cups of sugar. Which is great, but I only have two after wasting all my sugar on failed Cake A and stalled Cake B.
Cake A, take Two: Not enough baking powder left. Or vanilla.
Score? 0 for 3. Yep, that’s ZERO for three.
How’s that for productivity?

So if you’re bored at 7am tomorrow, send me a tweet. Cause I’ll be standing outside the door at Publix waiting on them to open. It’s always fun to watch your excessive pre-planning crumble in your face. :) And remember…next time you screw something up in the kitchen, think, “hey! at least I didn’t screw this up as bad as Rebecca did that time!”
