baking FAIL

NDwife07

I've been looking forward to making this carrot cake all week - like, drooling almost every day thinking about it. Finally got the ingredients this morning, put it together, made the from-scratch frosting, and baked it. Took it out of the oven to find complete soup.

 

Forgot the baking soda.

 

UGH. What a waste of time and energy.

Well crap on that.

 

Will you go all pregnant crazy on me if I say "at least it wasn't chocolate"?  Cause if you will, I'll be sure to not say that.

Tee hee If my mom said it, I'd probably go pregnancy crazy. But coming from you, Krista, it's just funny.

Turns out, the soup became an edible concoction, especially when slathered with cream cheese frosting. So, not a total loss!

I hate that.

Oh no!  That did sound good though...yum!

Cream cheese frosting makes EVERYthing better, in my experience.

 

What also makes everything better is this super-yummy burnt sugar frosting that goes on burnt sugar cake.  It's seriously almost like eating creamy caramels.  I always make extra when I make it for the cake, and eat in on graham crackers after the cake is gone.
