I decided to make the cake as a trial run for Noah's b-day party next weekend. I was very excited - I've never made a cake from scratch. Everything was going smoothly except one of the layers was thicker than the other so it took longer in the oven. I checked it every 3 minutes for a half hour until it finished (2 hours total mixing and baking time). As soon as I put it on the cooling rack, the rack slipped sending the cake flying topside down, right onto Buggy's food!
I stood in disbelief then let out a loud shriek. Ryan came running in and gave a poor-you laugh. It still erks me that I did that. At least one layer was salvaged. And yes, it was very yummy! We had it mostly eaten before I decided not to attempt the frosting. I guess I'll try it again for Ryan's birthday. I think for Noah's birthday, we'll try an Elmo cake from the bakery instead.
The aftermath: this was all that was salvaged after the cleanup. If you see a light brown spec there, it's Buggy's food. We had to throw the entire half away since it landed in her blasted food.
