Idiot me thought I could let the cake cool for a bit then flip it out of the pan to cool it the rest of the way. I flipped it too soon and this is what it looked like.
No biggie, right? I'll try to piece it back together with frosting and no one will be the wiser. Ummm not. So finally I decided to cut up the cake into pieces (what few parts needed cutting), add some strawberries and call it a birthday strawberry shortcake. We stuck candles in it and surprised Matt with what he says is definetely the most interesting "birthday goulash" he has ever seen.
I think next year we will go back to buying a cake.

Alexis I love the cake. Aren't birthdays fab. You know one year Ashley and I was going to surprise Mark with some (store bought) cupcakes. We hid them in the oven. When Mark came home from work I started dinner....... and forgot the cupcakes were in the oven so as I preheated the oven for the dinner rolls guess what we smelled. Yes and that wasn't the worst part. Did you know that cupcakes in the plastic packaging can actually burst into flames?? Good to know!
Good times. And so funny. Only would happen to you, Alexis, the best cook I know! :)
And funny story of yours, Jamie! These are things we'll remember forever . . . the things that make us smile in life :)
PS. Happy Birthday, Matt! Was also Michelle's b-day! :)
