FAIL: Baking Edition

The Boy and I were sick all last week.  Sick sick sick.  So sick, I was thinking of begging off for Easter at my parent's house.  But then!  I woke up on Saturday feeling like the worst was over, and it would be so fun to see the Boy at Nana and Popper's for Easter, and then I could lay on the couch and let people take care of me!  But then, I also felt like I should bring something for the dinner.  I hadn't grocery shopped all week so the choices were limited.  I decided to make a chocolate cake since my Grandma would be bringing a berry pie, and you know, I make a decent chocolate cake.

Or so I thought.

This dark picture, I call FAIL: part 1 of 2.  This was the first layer, that STUCK.

This picture is FAIL: part 2 of 2--this layer FELL.

And yes, I greased the pans, and yes, I baked it as long as it said to do and cooled it as it said to do, and tip-toed around the apartment and still!  A double failure out of ONE cake, it's such a slap in the face. 

So, for those of you wondering what one does with such an insult of a chocolate cake?

Let your child hack it apart with a fork and shake your finger at the cake saying, "That'll teach you to fail on my watch!"

Note:  Your child will LOVE this exercise.
