Bad Baking Day

Published by pattye at 8:11 pm under General Edit This

I am taking dessert to my family’s gathering for Easter.   I decided to take my Magic Peach Cobbler as well as a Triple Chocolate Cherry cake.  As I was making the peach cobbler, I realized that I bought the wrong type of peaches.  I purchased peach pie filling instead of regular canned peaches.  I decided to use them anyway.  I rinsed off the peaches and placed them in the dessert.  As the dessert baked it really smelled delicious. I checked on it once and it looked fine.  I was shocked when the timer went off.  The dessert turned a dark brown.  It is not suitable to take anywhere.  I tried it and thought it tasted burned.  My husband said it tastes fine.  It looks terrible.  I should take a photo of it for you to see.

I had to scramble to figure out what else to make.  I found a recipe for a basic cake.  Imagine that, I made a cake from scratch.  Actually, I decided to make cupcakes with butter-cream icing.  The problem is that the only cupcake holders I have are from Thanksgiving.  I live too far from the store to buy new ones, so I went ahead and used them. I’m sure I will be teased for using them.   I’m concerned that the cupcakes may have been baked too long.  My husband ate one and said it was fine.  I hope so.

I added too many eggs to my Triple Chocolate Cherry cake.  I noticed that last time the batter was more like a brownie and this time it is more like a cake.  That is why I am calling it a cake and not bars.  I hope it will be okay.

Hope everyone else had a better day in the kitchen than I did.
