Foodie Friday...Trainwrecks



Welcome to Foodie Friday, hosted by Michael at Designs by Gollum! Please visit her blog for a full list of participants.

The theme this week is trainwrecks. I don't have any pictures, because I wasn't blogging yet when this happened, but I wanted to share what happened last September when I tried to make Mr. Maison a birthday cake.


His favorite cake is angel food, so I attempted to make one just as I've done many times before. Partway through the baking process, I popped open the oven door to give it a check and it had exploded up over the sides of the pan and was all over the oven (much like Gollum's tart that cooked over a while back). Needless to say, poor Mr. Maison ended up with a store-bought cake.

  2. LOL! I had to make gingerbread once that oozed over the sides like molten lava. I feel your pain. ;-)

  5. oh yes...I've done this one. No one ever told me and I didn't bother reading that they can blow up and grow out of control in the oven.

  6. This has happened to me with a pie I made. I used a regular frozen pie shell and I needed a deep dish (which the recipe DID NOT state). What a mess.

  7. hmmmm - have you ever made it again?! Sometimes it's just easier to buy it than make it!

  8. Oh yeah, that's a fun mess to clean up - as Gollum will attest to. I've made the angel food and had it stick in the pan....Robyn
