failure

this evening i was invited out to replace a sibling at my friend's family dinner so i thought i would return the nice gesture by baking her family a gift. i was running out of time and needed something quick, i remembered my mom had bought mini bunt cake molds and thought i could make mini cakes. every recipe i came across for cake called for a cake mix, i didn't have any and i was feeling ambitious and felt that i could make the cake mix myself. wrong. the cakes were a disaster. they came out of the often rock hard, glossy and deformed. i thought i'd share since i started taking pictures of what looked like delicious treats. 

ps thanks dad for eating the hard cakes and pretending they tasted to make me feel better. love you

i did succeed in making a royal mess though

they looked so pretty!
