TWD~Berry Surprise Cake

By -

This was a Berry good lesson in following directions! I did not do a Berry good job! The Surprise is that I am Berry bad at egg ribbons and egg diva cakes. I'm Berry MAD!
Actually, Im not mad... but just really disappointed.
I think I might turn this into Berry Surprise Cup Cakes.
My cake came out flat as a pancake. I was warned that it would by countless TWD bakers. I used a 9inch Springform, thinking I could defy gravity.

So with my pancake, I decided to be resourceful and skip hollowing out the cake (because I physically couldn't) and thus just spreading the filling on top.
The filling was delish, after adding more sugar. The berries in the filling were sublime. The berries and filling on top of the cake... YUCK!
My cake tasted like thick eggs! I do not like thick egg cake, Sabro I am!
It looked pretty though.

My only hope is to make some more filling, salvage the berries and whip up some cupcakes or something? I have no clue. Because I REFUSE to serve this to anyone!


Whoa is me.

Aw, you tried and that's what counts. My first one looked just like yours. This was a difficult cake in my opinion. But next week you and I will reign I'm sure! LOL
(And your cake looks like it would taste good even if it didn't rise up!) And your blog is cute. :)

It looks good with the raspberries and filling. Too bad the cake didn't turn out.

Sometimes I wonder to myself "What was Dorie thinking?". Doris would never give out a crap recipe!

It looks really pretty. But what a bummer when we expect it to do one thing and it does exactly the opposite.

I'll bet it still tastes pretty good though. You could have served it to me if I hadn't known what it was supposed to look like, and I would have thought - "what a unique cake!" So go ahead and serve it to someone - they won't know the difference, and I bet it's good!

A Book and A Giveaway

As I said I would be doing in my 7 Resolutions, I am reading a book a week. This past week I read the book Precious, based on the Novel Push by Sapphire. I'm sure most of you have heard about the movie based on the novel. The book club that I belong to is reading this book and now that I read it, I am going to give it away. The book was very eye opening, raw. You really don't want to believe that children have to live like this, that this is reality for many children\teens. Incest, rape, abuse, lack of education, lack of everything! I know this stuff happens, but you don't want to believe it. I work at a Middle School, and I look around and wonder what happens to some of these kids when they go home. My heart breaks. It's not an easy read by any means, but it will make you think and feel. If you would like this book just leave me a comment. I'll post a winner on Feb. 1.
