Ugh who the heck doesnt have salt at their house LOL I took some baking stuff to my sister's house to tackle one of the 3 cakes I'm doing for tomorrow's cakewalk while I babysit her kids. And she has no salt (like a quarter teaspoon left in her shaker)
Should I even bother going ahead with the cake? Or will too little/no salt not make the recipe work? I have a whole bag at home icon_mad.gif I brought my own baking powder and what not but figured eh she'd have salt right?

ok so help! Will the cake fail if I dont use salt? Or is there a substitute? (like scrape off the salt off the tortilla chips in the cupboard HAHAHA)

salt is a flavor enhancer, but it won't be a deal breaker necesarily. if you are crunched for time, sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do! i assume you have salted butter - since most recipes call for unsalted, then you're really not going to have muh of a difference.

Send one of the kids to the neighbors to borrow salt! I don't know that you would want to leave out the salt- although I liked your tortilla chip idea...
