Let's just say I accidentally put too much baking powder in this cake

It'll still be edible, right?

Tell me yes.

So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.

Re: Let's just say I accidentally put too much baking powder in this cake

  • How much is "too much" more? Say it called for 3.5 tsp baking powder- did you accidentally put in 4 tsp or 4 Tbsp?
  • Called for 1.5 tsp, I dumped in 1.5T.

    The batter tasted fine.  I just checked on it, and it's puffier looking than normal.  I don't care if it's pretty, as long as it tastes fine.

    If it doesn't come in a box or frozen I don't make it. So I have nothing of substance to contribute. This is ML, right?

  • You don't seem to understand.  If this cake sucks I WILL DIE.

    It's for Thor's 30th bday.   I am normally an excellent baker, and a sub-par cook.  If dinner is rank, I knew I could fall back on awesome cake.  Now I have nothing.  Potentially.

    If the icing is yummy, nothing else matters. Not one bit.

    I mean this in the least inappropriate way possible... But you're dessert, aren't you?! C'mon. He's going to be thrilled regardless (you got him Thor's hammer, didn't you?!).

    Unrelated, but can you please post a pic of your foot tattoo? I looked for something  after you got it, but never saw a post.

  • A fine point!  And I am a most inappropriate person, so no worries!  I did not actually get him the big hammer -- I got him a bottle-opener version, and some framed, matted film cells from Lost Highway.

    Foot tattoos.  Sure!  This is the "before."

    As you can see, it sucked out loud.

    And now....

    Please disregard my pedicure.  In person, it's a lovely peachy color.  This photo makes it look hideous.

  • The bottle opener version is so much more fuctional!!!!! 

    I love the revision. I have to get my foot redone (I'm scared TO DEATH to do it), so this makes me feel better.

    So much more functional!  And he's a bartender, so it'll be especially helpful.

    Dude.  I won't lie.  Getting that tattoo sucked a lot.  I'm pretty hard to hurt, and this did it.  Also I was swollen and limping for days.  Totally worth it, though.  You'll be fine!

  • As long as it didn't overflow (volcano cake!!!) it will be fine.
