Hi Everyone,
I hope you are all enjoying this rainy day. I decided to bake a lemon brownie. My husband loves lemon and lime pastries so I wanted to bake something he would like. This is what came out.
I know it is round instead of square but I do not have a small square pan. I figured it would be ok. But the thing turned out to have a face. A face that is winking and laughing at me. It is saying “you thought you can bake, well my dear, think again, ha ha ha ha”!
I used to bake a lot years ago and I don’t remember having the trouble I seem to have now. I baked normal chocolate brownies last week and they came out a bit overcooked. Not burnt but not as chewy as they should have been. We persevered and ate them.
I baked a lemon cake and made homemade icing. The cake came out pretty good but the icing was awful. The sugar didn’t melt into the icing as it should have. It was some crunchy icing. My daughter asked that we scrap off the icing from her serving.
Today I again attempted to make a lemon icing and even though I followed the recipe to the syllable the icing was again crunchy. Not as crunchy as the last one but enough that I poured it out. I will be putting regular premade icing on the lemon laughing face to hide it. I cannot serve dessert that is laughing at me.
I will continue to bake and I will continue to make baking mishaps but eventually I will bake something to perfection! At least that is what I strive to do each and every time and I have faith that one day that shall happen.
How is your baking? Any tips that can help me to make something that isn’t laughing at me? If you have an idea as to what could have caused this face at the bottom of my pan, I would love to hear. If you want to share some of your baking mishaps, I would love to hear that as well.
Until next time, Happy baking my friends!
