Its been a long time my friends since I have participated in Tuesdays with Dorie. Mostly because things kept getting hectic {I emailed dont worry} but also because we have been trying to eat healthier so I haven't been baking as much {which used to be 3-4 times a week}
So this week confessions of a city eater picked the cake on the cover of Dorie's book.
I knew right away there was no way I could make the whole cake since nobody would eat it.
So I cut the recipe way down and did cupcakes instead. {which broke my heart because I really wanted to make this cake just because its pretty & I knew the pictures would be nice!}
It worked pretty well.. The batter was easy enough.. especially since there wasn't much.
until I forgot that I was baking them!! Our timer is broken and so I went up stairs and didn't even think about it again until I smelt burning from downstairs! OOPS!
I guess that means Im going to just HAVE to make the entire cake next time. :)
*sorry Freeland threw them away before I could take a picture of them burnt.

I hear you about the cooking healthy. Dorie's recipes aren't exactly on the light side. We try a small piece and then I take it to work the next day. They'll eat anything. Sorry about your cupcakes, I am sure they would have been great!
sorry to hear about your cupcakes..
