Hey, Charlene! Let’s just put it this way, I’m a novice baker and I f’ed it up the first time. Maybe you want to buy enough ingredients for two and give it another shot if the first time doesn’t work out. The thing with baking is there doesn’t seem to be much room for improvisation (which is why i suck at it!). BUT, the other thing you could do, and everyone who knows me would gasp in horror, is buy some white cake mix and add some crushed strawberries to the mix then top it w/ the royal icing? just an idea?

IF ANYONE CALLS ME SANDRA LEE ON THIS LIST, I’LL KICK YOUR ASS!!!!!!

GOOD LUCK and I’d love to know how it goes if you try to make it!

We are having a strawberry festival at church. My daughter really wants me to enter something.I really don’t want to F this up in front of all these church – ladies – do you think this is easy enough for a novice baker?

Congrats on the beautiful bundt cake! It looks like you’ve completely overcome your prior baking mishap and are well on your way to being a fantastic baker

You rock girl! Way to go, feels good doesn’t it? I know what you mean about mum not baking in the kitchen and there being too much dessert around. Ta for the mention…here’s another tip:

Reduce the recipe in half and find a smaller tin! lol

Also, why not offer this to Mike’s table- he has a strawberry event around atm (just hurry up though as i think it ends this week)

I hate baking, it is not really cooking. As far as I’m concerned you don’t lose any points for not being a baker. But good for you for trying it looks great.

I made the opposite mistake and doubled the baking soda on a recipe. Yeah…it was pretty gross. I didn’t post it though. If I make the recipe again, I’ll post the failure next to (hopefully) the success.

The final result looks really good!

OMG!! This is HILARIOUS! Courtney, love ya girl.
Peter – right on… you’re totally right and, if you haven’t been able to tell from my posts, I’m all too honest. I did fuck up! But the second one was a miracle (although if I took a pic of it 2 days later, it would’ve looked hideous with the icing all melted into the cake.
and serena, thanks for the compliment. but, seriously, this is as interesting and creative as my baking will ever get!!!

You came clean, showed the disaster and did good with the Bundt cake in the end.

Remember, a food show takes 12-15 hours to shoot…how many F-ups do they (tv hosts) make in the day?
