Okay, I know the cake looks ugly, but I had a few mishaps in the kitchen (Most of which were frosting related). I can guarantee though that the quite is incredibly good.

I like to cook and I finally got around to making a cake from scratch (for the most part). I found a German Chocolate cake recipe and after a trip to the store and a few hours of work, I ended up with this.

I ran out of time so I had to scrap the homemade frosting for pre-bought stuff which is part of what ruined the asthetics, but when you have a cake that tastes this good it doesn't matter.

The cake and caramel pecan frosting portions are made entirely from scratch.

Now that the initial learning curve is done with, I should be able to make the next one more presentable, but for now I'm going to sit back and enjoy my cake. Why? Because I not only have my cake, but I get to eat it to!

reminds me of my first batch of pancakes (yeah username/food thing, completely unrelated) they were blueberry (my favorite). and they turned out charred. i still took a bite of one of them, and they werent half bad (although if the blueberries werent in there, that would be a different story)

Robofreak, it is completely unfair to taunt me with pictures of a yummy cake when we both know that I live approx 3,000 miles away from you!

Of course, it COULD be worse...I could be Burn.

You know, I find myself saying that a lot!

It's not only yummy, it's delicious. German chocolate cake rules!

I can send you the recipe if you want it.

That cake looks pretty tasty, dude!

The last time I made cake, I made my mum a diabetic Victoria Sponge for mothers day earlier this year. I used fruit sugars (it burns differently from standard\refined sugars so it's "safer" for diabetics). I quickly ruined all my low "bad" carbohydrates idea by adding freshly whipped cream and sugar (and sweetner) free strawberry jam. Yum.

She still rather naughtily ate half of it over two days, though.

Thanks! I'll be making another in a couple weeks and I'll put more effort into it's looks then.

I'm a little dissapointed that no one has made a reference to a certain game yet.

German Chocolate. I mentioned it a few times.

I was looking to find the German name, but it seems that's the actual name I thought you meant it as being from Germany. But it's not it's the actual name, interesting never knew that German can be a surname. :lol:

I was going to, but then you said that, and now it's all ruined.

I will say, though, that THIS IS Cake Town!

All right, that's it! *bursts into song and dance*

This was a triumph.
I'm making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS.
It's hard to overstate my satisfaction.

Aperture Science:
We do what we must because we can.
For the good of all of us
Except the ones who are dead.

But there's no sense crying over every mistake
You just keep on trying till you run out of cake
And the science gets done and you make a neat gun
For the people who are still alive.
*stops for the sake of space, and the fact she doesn't want to kill the joke any more than she already has* Sorry about that, got a little carried away there
