Fail!

 Can you tell what that is?

An utter failure, that's what that is. Tomorrow is the first of the birthday events I've planned for my department. There are 5 birthdays in January and everyone's favorite was either cheesecake or chocolate cake or both. I made cheesecake yesterday, my grandmother-in-law's recipe. It's delicious. I'm so glad it worked because tonight I attempted home-made chocolate cake. Ugh.

I doubled the recipe and was going to make it two layers. Mistake #1. It ended up being very rich and gooey in the middle so was sinking and falling apart. I thought an easy way to cover it up would be icing. Mistake #2. The icing was too thin and just ran everywhere. I should have just made a 9x12 and put the icing on top and no one would have known.

Now I just have to hope that the cheesecake is enough for 25-30 people! And I don't have any toppings!

At least now Kellen and I have gooey melt in your mouth chocolate "crumble".

Too bad we are leaving for the beach in less than a week!!!!!
