Several years ago my aunt went to a party hosted by a couple of gourmet chefs. Determined to impress them decided to make a dessert– Death by Chocolate. My aunt began baking the cake the day of the party; while the cake was in the oven she turned the page and to much horror read DAY TWO.
Apparently, the cake was suppose to be refrigerated for 24 hours before adding the icing. With the party being that evening only a few hours would have to do. When Death by Chocolate was done with the icing added, it looked more like a Chocolate Lava Cake gone wrong.
Unlike my dear aunt, I knew to turn the page and am starting my own DAY TWO.

WOOT! I am not to day 2 yet and just now making some blogging rounds. I love the story about the cake–good luck on Day 2!
Have fun! My weekend is almost at an end here in India…I have started Emma but progress is very very slow 🙂
Oh my goodness, that is a really funny story. Some of my best baking has always happened by accident.
I like that you include caffeine intake in your stats. 😛
Your story is a good reminder for all of us that it's always wise to turn the page and double-check…..
