Reminds me of cake-related tears my mom shed when I was young--we were cabin'ing in montana, she painstakingly baked a pretty cake at altitude, got it about 10 feet from our neighbor's house, then SPLAT, upside down in the dirt--she cried. I didn't understand at the time, but oh I certainly do now :)blakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18186908799064586468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1452621549434169941.post-30098435165515739512012-08-20T09:13:33.356-07:002012-08-20T09:13:33.356-07:00Ahh that is the worst!

I had the same thing happen when I made a cake for my dad's birthday...after some research, I found out it may have been because I didn't wait for the layers to cool compltely before trying to frost and assemble them. Not going to lie, I've been hesitant to bake a cake since then! <br /><br />Luckily, your cake still looked delicious and I definitely would have still eaten it :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1452621549434169941.post-36063633176429112012012-08-19T20:57:15.155-07:002012-08-19T20:57:15.155-07:00This is real life, isn't it?

I didn't have time to make another so we all just ate the pile of cake & frosting with all her friends. Pretty embarrassing, hahaha.<br /><br />Glad it was still delicious and you ate it! ;)Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01207633044080765756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1452621549434169941.post-45414558484859184462012-08-18T16:59:25.111-07:002012-08-18T16:59:25.111-07:00Thanks for showing the imperfect moments as well! ...Thanks for showing the imperfect moments as well!
