    oh no, my cake !

    I have spent the better part of a week planning my cake, it seems however the cake didn't rise as much as I expected.

    I used two packet cake mixes to make a rectangle slab cake, but it has risen a lot on the middle and is very small at the sides. I don't think I used enough cake mix.

    Do I just go with it as is? It's hilly to say the least , lol atleast it will suit the racetrack theme
    But it certainly didn't go to plan, should just ice it and be done with it?

    I don't even know for sure what went wrong help?

    you have 2 options...1 is to eat the dud cake and make it again...down side is you have to make it again...but upside is you get cake now!!! =)
    2nd option is to us this one, ice it really crazy like, and pretend it was meant to be like that. This way is good cause it says screw you world i will do what i want, and you get cake!!!

    either way its up =)


    good luck either way =)

    I think a hilly racetrack will be fine (think Mt Panorama- Bathurst) or youcould slice off the hill and turn the cake over and have a smaller cake.

    Dont stress hun, I am sure it will taste good and will look awesome all done!

    This happened to me once, i carefully cut off the hilly bit so it was flat, baked another cake, and smeared some icing in between them and slapped it together, making it a double layer cake. then iced the whole thing
