My first attempt at baking a cake

So some of you may have seen my facebook status going, "I just made the ugliest cake I've ever seen in my life.." And truth be told, I really did.. So today, I am going to post some pictures of my ugly cake, and my operation save carrot cake mission. Also, while I am at it, I'll show you some of the quite brutal but truthful and appreciated comments about my fugly cake.. XD

Take a deep breath..

I kid you not.. Isn't it ugly? FYI, this is a carrot cake, the yellow stuff are icing that melted all the way to the bottom. All those yellow stuff at the bottom are icing!

And as I promised, comments given by my friends:

CL: What is that? Why is it black? Why is there so many layers? Why is it yellow? I have never seen a carrot cake that look like this in my entire life. 

Ca: I actually cannot make out what is it actually. Did you try it? Throw it away. Bake a new one?

AC: It looks like a meat loaf with lots of fat on it.

At the end though, most did ask if it taste good and if it did it should be fine.

Anyway, here comes operation save carrot cake:

Step 1: Put that meat loaf looking cake into the fridge to cool the icing.

Step 2: Scrap icing from the bottom of the base and spread it on top of the cake again.

Cake now looks less horrid

Step 3: Slice carrot cake into small portions

Getting there

Step 4: place carrot cake into container for the finishing touch

Barely ok, but at least it no longer look like a meat loaf with lots of fats!

So yea, it's all about the packaging.

Lesson learnt: Do not attempt to put icing when cake is steaming hot! haha
