Checkerboard Mania

A while back when I went christmas shopping with my friend Alyssa, I saw this really cool cake pan set. You make the inside of a cake mimic a checkerboard. I was so stoked, but didnt have the funds to buy it at the time.

Fast forward to 2 months later and tax return in my hand, and off to Walmart I went. Picked it up and the excitement set in. I love baking.

Attempt #1 happened with my friend Sheilena at my house at night, while we were sipping our adult drinks. Well, lets just say you shouldn't drink and bake. Literally.

I ended up doing the three layers wrong... And it messed up the checkerboard effect. However, as messy and crazy as this cake looks, it was DELISH. I have witnesses.


So off to walmart again to pick up another round of  baking supplies.

The mold.

So I baked the 3 layers, froze them over night. Then i brought them out a day later and carved them down to be flat layers. Afterwards I put it back in the freezer to harden up a little. 30 min later I find THIS

In my freezer.. SO sad. It was supposed to be 3 layers, and mine ended up to being 2.

The checkerboard effect is kind of there, but it definetly needed its third layer.

However, this was a fun experience.
