Weren&#8217;t you supposed to be cleaning the bathroom? You go back into the bathroom and remember you put something in the oven over 45 minutes ago&#8230; THE CAKE!<\/p>\n<p>You race back to the oven and pull out the cake. The top is dark golden brown and the edges are crisp. You start thinking about how much frosting would be required to overpower the hardened edges. You realize that no amount of frosting can make a brick taste like a cake so you contemplate baking another cake, but you really don&#8217;t want to use 3 more eggs, another mix, and your last bit of oil.<\/p>\n<p>There is only one thing to do, sharpen your best knife and carefully cut away all the burned edges of your cake wreck.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"Cake Wreck\" src=\"\/\/i533.photobucket.com\/albums\/ee336\/anderbach\/March%202010%20Blog\/IMG_2445.jpg\" alt=\"Cake Wreck\" width=\"506\" height=\"337\" \/><\/p>\n<p>But how do you frost the crumbly edges of your now manicured cake wreck? <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"cake wreck\" src=\"\/\/i533.photobucket.com\/albums\/ee336\/anderbach\/March%202010%20Blog\/IMG_2446.jpg\" alt=\"cake wreck\" width=\"502\" height=\"334\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This is the easy part. Place the cake in the freezer for about 45 minutes, and if you forget and leave it in the freezer a little longer, nothing burns!<\/p>\n<p>Take the cake out and frost.
