Its Like EZ Bake Oven-Esque, But Way More Elegant


I'd been informed that today was Mother-in-Law's (MIL) birthday. Since she'd just gotten out of the hospital, thought it would be nice to fuss over her a bit. Called MIL and FIL (father-in-law), arranged for them to come over for dinner. Decided to bake a Splenda yellow cake (they can't ingest too much sugar) in a pan similar to this. I halved the mix then it turns out I baked it a bit too long. So here are the results...a gigantic rectangular cookie with Cool Whip strawberry frosting on it (hides all the defects and the cookie-ishness of the whole thing). Tasted pretty damn good. Note the 24, even though MIL is obviously not 24, but I think it made her feel a little bit better about herself (she's been kind of depressed).

Update:



This is what the cake was supposed to look like...mine was similar in color, only not so pretty, so it was just easier to frost the top w/ Cool Whip. :p
