Yay! I made a version of the cake that I had a near disaster with (in the disaster I had a doubled the amount of milk and it was really yummy, but really dense). Since the customer LOVED the flop cake, I told her I couldn't stack with that dense cake (LOL), but could make one "similar". So, I made it with 1.5 times the milk and it was still very moist and a bit dense, but not quite so heavy.

Well, they loved it and a couple neighbors asked for my info!!!! YAY!!! That's how it gets started, right?

Looks like a flop was the best thing to happen! LOL (The cake I made her is the rubber duck cake in my photos). I guess it pays to make from scratch and be too sleepy in the middle of the night... Wouldn't recommend that though!

In our house we believe "every knock is a boost" meaning everytime you are "knocked down" it's really a "boost up". It's been true for us so many times.

Looks like your "knock" was your boost up to a new "secret recipe"!!!! Way to go!!!!!!!!!!

Great that it all turned out well. The cake is really cute and I really like your Jack cake. I know a couple of people who would flip for that one!
