      I had a cake fail once.. it was in my younger brother's birthday and i really wanted to make a cake on my own. Well.. it was a complete fail. It was a cookie monster cake. The blue icing wasn't blue enough(it was very pale blue though i added a whole blue food colouring bottle) the eyes were... creepy (very creepy, my lil sister almost started crying) and it looked like a complete mess. But it tasted quite good.

      I was making sticky date pudding. Not sure if it quite counts, but it was definitely a fail. To make it you need to boil dates in water then add baking soda, to soften the dates. This releases CO2 gas, and bubbles up a bit. The recipe called for 1/2 tsp of baking soda, but I misread it as 2 TBSP of baking soda (I was like 7 or 8). The recipe said to dump it in and whisk quickly, to stop it overflowing. I dumped in the 4 tbsp and whisked, and hot date water expanded out of the pot and went everywhere. Mum was not pleased.

    It's a common joke among programmers to say "It's not a bug, it's a feature!" when code winds up doing something you didn't quite intend, but actually somehow makes the program work better.

    My best cake save was for my daughter's 16th birthday. The cake just fell completely apart when I tipped it out of the pan. (Red velvet from scratch. I didn't pull it off) I called my husband at work and told him to buy 3 dozen bouquets of Walmart roses.
    While I was waiting for him, I cooled the cake and then arranged the pieces on a large white platter. There was NO way this crumbly mess would take the buttercream frosting so I warmed it slightly and poured it over the cake. It wasn't thin. Just barely warmed enough to flow. Managed to get a cake shape out of the whole thing.
    When hubby got home I went to work (for the rest of the night). I picked the best buds and blossoms from the flowers, then went to work ripping the rest to shreds. Pulled all of the petals off. Coated the flower petals in a thin egg white/water wash, then tossed them in sugar. Those went in the dehydrator for a few hours until the coating was dry. Then I covered the cake in rose petals, I mean the WHOLE CAKE. When I was done, there was hardly any cake to see.
    I arranged the whole flowers and buds on a corner of the cake and held my breath.
    The next day, my daughter cried with joy. Said it was her first 'grown up' cake. Her friends were impressed. Moms were impressed and asked me where I got the inspiration. (I confessed to one of my friends that I 'pulled it out of my butt.') Yes, people ate the candied rose petals. (Not with the cake. As a candy.)
    You couldn't even tell that the cake was mangled underneath.
    Then I wiped the sweat from my brow and had a glass of wine. lol!

      With that said, I wouldn't recommend anyone eat Walmart roses. Lord knows what's been sprayed on them or what they've been soaking up in the water. I did rinse them well before sugaring. And I did tell people where I got the roses as I was serving the cake and told them that if they didn't find roses appealing to feel free to pick them off. I wouldn't be bothered. Nobody suffered a negative reaction, so this worked out well.

My stepsister tried to make a birthday cake once, but she rushed it and the cake wasn't cooled. The middle layer of frosting made the cake slide around, so she speared the cake in 4 places to keep it in place. It looked like a Frankencake. It was delicious though. Absolutely covered in frosting and Sprinkles.

    This reminds me of one of the cutest story about my parents early relationship...
    It was my mom's birthday and she made this very light and fluffy (and fragile) cake /tart with egg white merangue on top
    Around 2 hours before the guests where supposed to come, she decided she should pop the tart in the oven some more to give then merangue a more golden brown colour.... What she didn't consider was that she borrowed the cake pan out to a neighbour after she finished.... No problem, she took 2 smaller rectangular pans, turned them upside down and put the cake on the bottom of the 2 pans in the oven.... Surely , the cake melted and started falling apart in between the pans
    When my dad arrived (earlier to help her out a bit) he found her crying in the kitchen.... He listened to the problem and asked her for a bowl and a big spoon.... He scooped out the cake, packed it in the bowl and flip everything upside down like making a sand castle.... And it held its shape, mom made some whipped cream and covered it all up and no one had any idea
    My dad was a. Handy man and it turns out he was also good at cooking.... He is no longer with us, but he still lives in our hearts and our memories

Than get a round cookie cutter or even use a hanger and shape it into a circle. Pipe the icing into the circle using it as a guide and a spoon to spread it out. Grab some candy eyes and a cute candy nose and boom.

    I remember the one time I baked with my dad. We put in salt instead of sugar, and my dad refused to let us taste the batter, so we only figured it out when our cake came out like a hard brick! Oh the memories

    What is it with people not letting their cakes cool?

    • @wolfgirl4486
      @wolfgirl4486 4 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      I do it all the time, but usually I'm not trying to stack it or use buttercream and I eat it warm with hot custard with my family, YUMMY

    • @generalcodsworth4417
      @generalcodsworth4417 3 ปีที่แล้ว +20

      They probably don't know that buttercream or other frostings will melt and assume that letting the cake cool is something done for the cake's sake and not for the frosting. It could also be impatience if they wanted the cake as fresh as possible and waited until the last minute to bake it and, oops, now there's no time because mixing took longer than expected, better hurry up and stack it before I miss the event this is for!

    So darn creative!!! I could follow just about any recipe to a "t" & with ease, BUT.... I could have NEVER come up w/ those 'fixes'. Unless it's for a party, I'd have been more like, "... 'meh... as long as it still tastes good." lol ... Genius, you've definitely got that 'eye'... thanks for sharing! Stay safe & be well.
