	Baking doesn't always come up roses
	My pound cake freezes really well, so I was planning on making it today, freezing it, and then bringing it to NY in Chicago next Thursday. Good news: The orange variation I made tastes awesome! Bad news: I tried something different with how I baked it, and everything but the top edges burnt. Good news: There's enough good cake left under the burnt that it's partially salvageable. Bad news: I'm not taking hacked apart pound cake to Chicago. I still have to rebake. Good news for gamer friends: I do have my D&D group coming over tonight, and I don't have any objections to serving it at an informal gathering... talons / Rake your talons / Link This entry was originally posted at http://merhawk.dreamwidth.org/496191.html.
