We’ve all heard that old saying: when life gives you shitty
cake, make cake truffles.

No? Well, it’s true. Life itself may not give you cake,
crappy or not, (much as I wish it would), but you can certainly make cake
truffles whenever you fuck up a recipe and end up with a pile of mushy, crumbly
mystery substance on your hands.
Throughout my short baking career, I have successfully
fucked up what seems like a thousand recipes. I have filled the entire house
with smoke when roasting plums and, after
proceeding successfully for the first 99% of the recipe, caused a cake to crumble all over the
countertop after removing it from the pan five minutes too early. I have even
added four times the amount of butter necessary to a basic chocolate
cake recipe when I misread “¼ cup butter” for “2 sticks”.
