Last week, after burning Jim's first birthday cake, and totally messing up the second frozen birthday cake (I know.), I decided it was time to give cakes a rest. However, I still felt like I kind of owed him a decent birthday dessert, and thought I'd try my hand at cupcakes.
However, after I had the batter made and was ready to pour it into the cupcake tin, I realized I had made 24 cupcakes and only have one tin for six cupcakes. I also only had enough time to make one batch...
So, I had to make a cake. Again.
However, this time, I didn't mess it up. It was a chocolate cake with peanut butter icing and although we were way too full for dessert last night, we ate it anyway. And it was very tasty.
However, the combination of a chocolate cake + peanut butter icing + me being in a hurry = decidedly the ugliest cake ever. So, instead I'll leave you with this...
