cake fail

I tried something different with my cake: I poured the batter into three cake pans and baked each cake individually. This turned out to be a huge mistake: the cakes all ended up burned. They didn't smell burned, which is why I cooked all three cakes the same way, and they looked edible when I brought them out of the oven one at a time. Once they cooled, though, and I had a chance to taste them, it was obvious there would be no rescuing them.

Still, I have my frosting, so I might go to our building's Paris Baguette, buy some castellas, then frost them up and serve them. We'll see.
