Baking School to Baking Fool

I spent Tuesday giving a baking lesson to a friend. She was off to a great start, and now I realize her identity must be protected from impending shame. We started with great black bottom cupcakes and then made a devil's food cake with buttercream frosting. There's even a play by play pic of how this cake tragedy came to be. I also, not-so-subtly showed a side by side of the cakes so you can guess which cake was mine, and which cake was DEFINITELY not mine. Absolutely fun time, but the final cake was like stabbing a butter knife into my little cake heart.
