Maybe she has the curse now!) I'm not much of a baker, either, and haven't even attempted a layer cake yet.

I c...Oh Angela, you had me ROARING with this story! I can see each step as you followed along with her. This reminded me of a time when my former sister-in-law had come by and asked me if I would teach her how to bake bread. The problem was that I was in the middle of cutting up deer for jerkey, had three batches of three different kinds of bread going, and cookies ta boot. (I used to bake like a mad woman!) So I gave her a French bread recipe and told her "There is no way you can mess this one up, so give it a go!" Seriously it was an easy recipe, or so I thought. She came back over a few hours later with tears in her eyes (and I felt HORRIBLE) because (she smacked the loaf on the table and it chipped) her loaf came out like a rock. <br /><br />I spent some time with her later, and she did learn how to make bread, but she was not a natural baker (or cook for that matter), her strengths were in the office, or organizing parties, etc... We all have our gifts, and... "cake curses" :-) <br /><br />Thank you for the good laugh, I am glad I made it here BEFORE I went to bed.<br />k~k~https://www.blogger.com/profile/17308736457276683273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2446615573502159740.post-25949930981900701492012-01-07T23:28:08.790-06:002012-01-07T23:28:08.790-06:00Bless your little cake cursed heart!
