Photo A Day: The one that got away.

Yes folks, this is what it looks like to have your heart

broken ...

I decided to make a devils food cake with Dulce De Leche

frosting and I was SO excited about it, too. If you know what

Dulce De Leche is, then you know it literally takes HOURS to

make from scratch. 3-1/2 hours to be exact, not counting

the time it takes to add the other ingredients that turn it into

a frosting. Then, there's the cake to bake. All toll it took me

5-1/2 hours and then ...

Well, being the neat freak that I am I decided to wash the

bowls and utensils I used while the cake was cooling. When

all was done and as my final act before frosting my delicious

creation, and sitting here devouring it with a tall glass of milk;

I went to put the mixer back in it's place, setting

the cooling cake in the window sill. Uh, no ... not quite.

In my hurry I DROPPED the entire cake on the floor.

yes, I admit ... I had visions of scraping it all up and pressing

it back into the cake dish, lol. But good sense won, so I now

have this HUGE bowl of Dulce De Leche frosting with nothing

to spread it on. How wrong would it be to just grab a spoon ...
