Blog 329: Strawberry Short Cake Disaster

Today I thought it would be nice to bake for my roommates. My sister recently bought me the "Big Top Cupcake", for those of you who do not know what that is, look at the picture below. I decided on strawberry short cake since Concetta gave up chocolate for lent.

Total Strawberry Short Cake Cooking Time: 2 and 1/2 hours

First problem: I ran to Dominic's (losing my parking spot) and got all the ingredients. Only to return home and see that I need TWO cake mixes, not one. I then went to Jewel too embarrassed to return Dominic's so soon.

Second Problem: I failed to read the part that said the extra mix WAS FOR EXTRA CUPCAKES. I put ALL of the mix in the "Big Top Cupcake" pans. Needless to say they over flowed.

Third Problem: The smoke alarm went odd. SEVERAL times. During LOST. Needless to say my roommates where not happy; one in particular.

Forth Problem: The outside was burning, while the inside was still batter.

Fifth Problem: I finally got it to work making several adjustments and then the sides broke pouring out strawberry gooze.

My roommates said it still tasted good. I think they were just being nice.
