Lol, really enjoyed this blog. I am a home baker who learned at the bakery from my professional baker-dad. He had some mishaps at home...I learned you just can't take a recipe for 12 cake rounds and just divide to reduce. On the other hand, ugly mishaps often still taste wonderful...my dad would waste nothing. Ugly bread made croutons or bread pudding, fallen cake or hard cookies made crumbs for crust or for decorating, That fallen cheesecake mess would make a beautiful parfait.
