Yes unfortunately they did.
I was instructed to bake a cake (or something similar) for my Grandfathers 80th birthday party.
I forgot.
So, on Friday morning I was reminded by the party organiser (my aunt) that I had to produce a cake the following day...
What am I going to do for something different???
So I searched and explored the Internet in search for inspiration and some step-by-step guidance... I found an inspirational recipe for something called a Bundt cake...
It was beautiful!
You can have a peek at the recipe and story behind the recipe on one of my new found favourite sites called These Peas are Hollow.
The inspiration...

| This is NOT my picture... this picture was taken from These Peas are Hollow |
Well my story does not have such an inspirational story...
 |
| The mixing of the ingredients went well... I nearly forgot to add the baking powder - but with my final check I saw the packet lying on the counter and wondered why I bought it... |
 |
| Even the mixing went well and by this time I was feeling quite happy and confident that all will end well... |
 |
| I thought that these were a bit too full, but then again leftovers are wonderfull to nibble on... |
 |
| This looks OK - perhaps a bit on the flat side... The smell was heaven and they were sticky, sweet and yummy!! |
 |
| Here the problems started... HOW in heavens earth am I to get these out of the moulded non stick cake tins? I tried everything, non cook spray, extra butter and flour in the tins... but all I made was seemingly sweet bird food... |
 |
| So stuff it I thought... Ill just pour whatever batter thats left into a round cake tin and bake it till the cake is done. What I didnt remember was the very high amount of sugar in the batter and the tops turned a sticky yummy caramel (thats NOT burnt!) |
 |
| So the end result was a somewhat flat Vanilla cake with lime icing... And it was a hit! |
 |
| Success! |
