CAKE FAIL! Well, jokes on you, universe 🖕🏻 I covered it in glaze and am eating it anyway! Still tastes delicious! I feel like there’s some sort of life metaphor here, but whatever. (It’s the Smitten Kitchen olive oil chocolate cake recipe. When I turned it out on the cooling rack, it disintegrated. Rookie cake mistake.)

What do you do when your Sock It To Me cake breaks coming out of the Bundt pan? You glue it back together with glaze and almonds! 🤣🤣🤣 #cakefail

This is not a place of cake pops
No pretty desserts were accomplished here

"Gluten-free carrot cake" they called this recipe.
I think "Disappointment pancake" would be a more appropriate name.
GI colleague won't be getting a surprise birthday cake tomorrow then.

Saint Stephanie Alexander's Date pudding with Toffee Sauce was an absolute hit and an easy thing to make, to take to friends' place last night for dinner.

This much loved cookbook has pride of place on a bookstand on my kitchen bench.

The thing about it is, it is absolutely reliable. Good, tested methods clearly written. Gave me back my confidence after last week's #cakefail

I have a recipe book which grossly under estimates cooking times. Fortunately it tasted good, and the grandchildren liked the gooey bit

I know I'm not alone in feeling the crushing disappointment of this year not starting from the best of places.

I intended to kick off 2023 feeling strong, healthy and happy.

I was also looking forward to getting back to work this week with renewed energy, fantastic connections, and thought-provoking conversations.

I even aimed to begin this day early and energised, with a fruit smoothie and a workout.

Sometimes things don't go as planned.

My day, week, and year has kicked off with covid. But that doesn't mean it's all over, 2023 cancelled.

The rest of the cake isn't ruined if the first slice falls on the floor.

Yeah, it sucks, maybe things didn't go the way we wanted, but there's a whole lot more left for us to enjoy.

What's been your cake fail so far this year? What makes it ok (or at least a little easier to deal with)?
