Today was Mr. Smedley’s birthday. I usually bake cakes for anyone if it’s their special day. This was the cake I made with the intention of giving it to Mr. Smedley. It’s a vanilla cake with dulce de leche in the middle. It was supposed to have a caramel frosting on top. That’s where I messed it up. The cake part of it turned out spectacular, but I burned the icing. I tried to assemble it anyways, but it was a mess. So I peeled off the hardened caramel blechness and this was what was left. Tasty, but unpresentable. My family wasn’t too bummed, though. (As you can tell by the picture, they dove right in!)
