I have baked for most of my life and especially so
throughout my kiddoes younger lives. I even took cake decorating classes and
always made sweet confections for family and friends.
And then there was yesterday. A cake fail.
I really wanted to bake a layer cake for #2’s birthday. So
after I removed the finished layers from the oven and let them cool, I did what
I always have done--run my spatula around the inside edge, set a plate on top
of the pan and flipped it over. Half stuck. I was like OMG. I set a lot of the
broken pieces on top, wondering if I could do something with the mess besides
cake balls (not my fav). I eyeballed the second layer and repeat and flip and
half stuck.
I was feeling jinxed.
