Day 9

Well todays cake has not turned out as planned. I thought that I knew better than the recipe, that when its says wait until completely cooled that having been out of the oven for ten minutes that it would be fine. But no the whole thing feel apart, on the upside it taste amazing so I will actually make it another time. I said this this challenge that I would show the cakes that didn't work so here it is.
My dear family say its ok God bless them.
