We went to my friend Kelsey's 30th birthday party tonight. I told her that I would bring the cake and since it was a special birthday, I wanted to make a special cake. My plan was to make a three-layer devil's food cake with chocolate mousse for the filling and a rich chocolate cream frosting. Alexis helped me make the cake and of course wanted to have lots of tastes:
When I had all of the elements made and started to assemble the layers. I wish I had had John take a picture of the disaster as it was happening. Do you remember the birthday cake that he fairies in Sleeping Beauty try to make without magic? That's exactly what my cake looked like. The layers were sliding all around and the cake was falling over. It was hilarious and devastating at the same time. I somehow got it to stick together. But, after driving for 45 minutes to the party the cake totally fell apart. Kelsey wanted to use the cake anyway, so this is what it ended up looking like:
So sad:
On the positive side, it did taste amazing. Probably the best tasting cake I have ever made. John thinks I should give it another go and make it for Alexis' birthday since she devoured her piece. We'll see.
