Worst. Cake. Fail. Ever.
First, I was completely out of red food coloring. So, I thought to myself, "I'll use blue. A 'blue velvet' cake would be cool."
False.
I overlooked the fact that a dark blue cocoa powder paste mixed with a cream colored batter would make GRAY! And of course just after I had accepted that it would potentially look bad as gray (but still taste good!), Adam said he was going to run to the store to get a few things for dinner. If only he had decided to do so 5 minutes earlier. Oh well.
After baking for 30 minutes, I took the two cake pans out and flipped them out onto a wire rack to cool... only I didn't spray the pans well enough so.. most of the cake stayed in the pan.
I swear I'm usually not this bad!
And since I could only salvage one layer of cake, I then had an entire medium mixing bowl full of frosting.
I tried to make this.... |
This is what I actually made. |
I hope you guys get a laugh out of this, because we sure did!
