cake disasters

[deird1]

So, I made a cake.

Actually - I made two cakes. Just to make sure that at least one would work properly.



Both cakes are still in my oven, still far more liquidy than they're supposed to be. And the bits of cake mixture that overflowed dripped onto the element in the bottom of the oven, where it stuck, started burning, and then became red-hot coals of burnt cake.

Every time I open the oven, I get hit in the face with clouds of burnt-cake smoke, fight my way through to reach the actual cakes, tap them on the top, watch them slosh around in their cake tins, and then close the oven and go back to feeling morose about my bad cooking.

I MADE A SPARE CAKE AND EVERYTHING. D:

I hope the cakes wind up coming out right.

(And no, I do not have Macarthur Park stuck in my head)

They looked delicious, in any case. And the batter was nommy.

Oh no! This is kind of hilarious and also sad. Hope your cakes have surprised you by emerging from the oven as fabulous specimens. If not, you can always make trifle with the bits that turned out. At least, that is what I do with fail!cakes. :)

Well, I set my oven on fire...

(No, really.)

[aerintine]

OH NOES! Good Lord, I hope you're alright. That's just awful.

[deird1]

I'm fine. Actually, as far as fires go, it was fairly uneventful...

In unrelated news, do you believe in serial commas? I just found a hilarious pro-serial comma sentence, apparently it is l'example of renown:

"I dedicate this book to my parents, Ayn Rand and God."

Hee hee.

I'll trade you a funky cake for one of blackened cookies?
