Sometimes you just have to admit defeat

Tonight I attempted to bake a cake. When I say tonight, I mean ALL NIGHT! Three attempts and 7 hours later, and all I have to show for it is the failed remains in the bin, and a heap of pots. Perhaps diving in feet first isn't the best option when it comes to baking. I am going to have to learn a little at a time and I have learnt my lesson!

Take home messages:

1. Take a step back and take it slower
2. Start simple and build up to more challenging recipes
3. Learn how cake reacts to my oven and its seemingly wacky temperatures

Worse things have happened :)
