This time I couldn’t… And I feel a traitor…
I can give you all the excuses in the world, because I’ve made it, 2 weeks ago, but I couldn’t dare taking a picture of it: it was all wrong…
What the hell am I speaking about???
I’m speaking about this month Daring Bakers challenge, Strawberry mirror cake.
It was my first with a mirror cake, and I felt challenged, and so happy!
Everything went perfectly well, until the last passage…
I made the sponge cakes, I made the Bavarian cream, I made the strawberry jelly… And it was so red I didn’t even need to colour it!!!
The cake was in the fridge, and the strawberry jelly was getting cooler… But I was tired, and it was SO hot, I couldn’t wait any more the jelly to get cooler… So I poured the jelly on the cake while it was still warm… I let your imagination to picture with what I ended up: a complete mess!
You see why we HAVE TO follow the recipe in every single step??? Because when I didn’t, mess came out! And so I lost my first bonus. I will lost the second bonus next month, because I’ll be on holiday…
And so I have to dare baking every single month, until the end of my days…
And it doesn’t look bad at all!!!
Sorry Peabody if I screw your challenge! I’ve just seen your creation and it looks amazing! Better: awesome!
Oh no! So sorry it didn’t work out. I’m sure next month will work out much better!
@Peabody: it was all my fault!!!
Oh Sara! So sorry that it did not work out. I am sure you’ll do a great job next time!
Oh no! Sorry to hear about your cake.
Hey, even without a picture, you still managed to complete the challenge! Sorry it didn’t work out though.
I’m sorry it didn’t work out for you! At least you tried.
I’m sorry to hear that your cake didn’t work out!
Yikes! Sorry to hear that. Better luck next month.
Sorry Sara it wasn’t a success. You are still a Daring Baker because you tried and still learned something!! Better luck next month
But good for you for giving it a try!
Sorry it didn’t work out, Sara!
xoxo
All of you: thanks for the support!
But you shouldn’t be sorry: it was entirely my fault!!!
I’m messy!
