Re: A cake to rival Hawki's creations

  • I'm hoping the lack of replies doesn't mean you all took that seriously! Totally tongue-in-cheek, especially because I forgot to put sprinkles in the mix AND my vegetable oil was not the freshest. :-0 

     At least it's not like my lemon bars!

  • I thought it was remarkable! :)  Made me want to bust into the cupcakes I brought for my snack today.

    ETA: See how awesome Buzz is? I actually saw your blog post!

    We have so much time, and so little to do! Strike that, reverse it.

  • I think Hawki should probably hire you!
  • I think this is a great improvement from the lemon bars (even if you did still use old oil)!  How did it taste?  Big Smile
  • At least your baking experiment stayed in the pan, Mames! 

    True story -  I made banana bread last week and it turned out horrible.  I filled the loaf pan too full and half of it ended up on the bottom of my oven.  The first thing I thought of when I was cleaning - "Why didn't I just check Hawki's blog for a recipe that works?"

    Yeah, at least this one is edible! Kind of. It tasted like a mix of yummy frosting and "off" oil.

    Oh noes! Was it salvageable?

  • Nope. As far as what was left in the pan, the sides were burnt and the center was raw after 1 1/2 hrs. in the oven.  It was 11pm and I was tired so I just threw it out.  I figured I would try again soon with a better recipe and/or multiple pans.

  • Nice job Mames!  DH is way over being my assistant... keep practicing and then you can move to Kentucky :)
  • Hawki--your frosting recommendations worked perfectly for DH's birthday cake this weekend.  I might have added too much sugar, because it was a little bit sweet, but it spread super easily.

    To make it relative to Mamie's post: DH said he wished I had made a funfetti cake.

    Good to hear... and if it makes you feel better, I can't tell you how many times DH has asked for oreos when I ask what he wants for dessert.

  • So I love to bake, but I must admit that I LOVE LOVE LOVE Funfetti. I make Funfetti cupcakes any chance I get. Love the OOTD too!
  • Thanks sara! I <3 funfetti. I wanted my wedding cake to be funfetti too, but I went classic. :-/
