I'm always amazed by those people of Cupcake Wars or Chopped. How they can just come up with something, especially a new cake recipe, that actually tastes good. Of course, there is the occasional failure there too. In a recent Chopped episode, one of the judges actually told a chef, "That's the worst thing I've ever put in my mouth."

Okay, this week I decided to try making a layer cake since everyone at the café makes it look so easy. Mixed up my favourite chocolate cake recipe and put it in two pans instead of the usually long one. Easy peasy. Until it came time to put it together. Then I remembered why I never make layer cakes. It looked like a mudslide hand landed on my kitchen counter!!!! Not purty at all! I'm sticking to my one pan cakes from now on.Kavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03719229222267994577noreply@blogger.com
