:::A Disaster That Turned Into A Delight:::

OH MY GOODNESS! Have you ever had one of those days in the kitchen where EVERYTHING goes wrong? Well... THIS was my day!

We were planning on meeting up with the family for Pizza Night at a local place in town & after everyone was gonna come over and have desserts at our house..... SO, I begin my day of planning. I had just made Chocolate Chip Cookies, so for a little variety I decided to made two more things. I made Chocolate Cookies With Peanut Butter & Mini Carrot Cakes. Well the recipe I found for the cookies seemed A-OkaY! After I baked them, I tasted one and I thought it was awful!! So dry..... (To my taste that is....) So, I made a little Peanut Butter Frosting For them which may have helped a bit, but I didn't eat any after that first bad taste! :) Secondly was the Mini Carrot Cakes! I was so excited about these... I love carrot cake and found a recipe for cupcakes. So I decided to make them in Ramekins for the visual effect & had made a buttercream frosting and sweet cream Cheese frosting. WELL - you'll see the pictures below & you'll get the rest of the story. IT WAS A DISASTER!!! I was able to save some of the batter and turn them into "Creamy Carrot Cake Bites" ... I liked them but the end result was NOT what I had planned! :) We ended up having a great time visiting with the family anyways, and they were all sweet enough to complement my "ROUGH" Day's work in the Kitchen! :)

This was before my "Mini Carrot Cakes" Entered my oven!

THIS ........ was after! UGH - sense my frustration! THEY ALL BOILED OVER!


This is what the remaining batter turned into. Not so pretty, but I had to do something with it! They were good, but not what I had planned!

My Oh So Lovely .... Disaster Day In The Kitchen :)
