Bad Baking Day
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.
