I decided today to try that yummy Southern Caramel Cake that has been floating around on FaceBook lately. We're going to a garden dinner tonight with tons of people and I'm doing fried okra and at the last minute the cake.
So far, so good...
Not too bad but when I turned to put the caramel icing bowl in the sink...slip sliding away the cake was going. I put the icing on while it was still too warm.
I reached to catch and since it is a caramel icing, well it stuck to my hand. When I tried to push it back the back side of the cake broke too. Oh well, a baker I am not I guess I will stick to the paintbrushes from now on or just bake it in a retangular pan.
I seriously thought about dumping it in the trash but just can't waste it. I'll pick on of my huge hibiscus red flowers and cover up the breakage.

I wonder how that cake tasted. I'd like to know how you made the fried okra too.
I think it looks good. And the idea about the flower is clever.
First, it's not you. My friend made this same cake and hers turned out wonky, too. I wonder, sometimes, about these Internet recipes!
The icing thing is always tough. I remember ego just before Heather and I got married my parents and some relatives from Connecticut were coming and Heather's cake had a similar mishap.
