You're hilarious. Guess what....we also made that cake, with very similar results to yours! I think there's an ingredient missing?? Mind you, if it means that all that extra icing fills up the centre, I think it actually TOTALLY WORKS! Meredy xo
kids don't care if it fails or not, looks edible to me! (and what sort of icing is that?)actaully I don't think it matters if a recipe says "never fail", I would find one way of making a stuff up!
speaking of, best go and starting making some travel friendly and yet tasty smoko items for the field day our p and c are catering for...somehow I don't think delicate macaroons will be making the to make list...
Yum I am so looking forward to getting home to some REAL food. Have been travelling for 2 weeks now. I want a home cooked meal. I sometime es have cakes that have always worked and then bang don't . I think it can be due to the weather or humidity or a small delay on getting it in the oven and of course forgetting to pre heat the oven!
A big hello from the Pacific NW coast! Is this the recipe you used perhaps?

I think you improved Ms. Goodwin's recipe and I am quite sure the kiddies did not mind the sweets you spread on top! Must try it for hubby (who has a sweet tooth!) Blessings to all,
Fiona Are you going into competition with Julia (Meryl Streep) and Julie (Amy Adams)??? And now another "Julie Goodwin's Never Fail Cake ..."????? That movie "Julie and Julia" is a real classic! Anyhow, maybe the end result was for the cake to look just like shown??? Ice cream, fresh cream and strawberries - what could be better - bon appetit! Colin

ReplyDeleteClever! It looks wonderful.
ReplyDeleteIs there an ingredient missing?
Excellent - I probably wouldn't think of turning it upside down, I'd just fill the dip with icing LOL.
ReplyDeleteOh goodness, I think it looks delish!
