Most of you have probably baked many cakes in your lifetime. I, too, have made my fair share of cakes. So, I was surprised when I started to make a cake for the boys' birthday party and it didn't turn out. My first round of my Elmo cake came out of the pan in pieces. I didn't follow the directions and I used a liquid oil rather than Crisco to cover the pan before I put the cake mix in. The liquid oil never seemed to be a problem, but I guess when you are using a pan with more grooves, it matters. So, I hope by reading this, you'll know that properly preparing the pan does matter! After a second attempt (and the right oil), we had a great cake for the party.
Aside from the cake fiasco, the birthday party was a success! We all had a great time. And, I was surprisingly relaxed throughout the party. I think it helped having a party away from the house... it took away some of the hostess pressures.
