Well, I made an attempt at creating a happy birthday for my wife today. My son had come up with the idea to make Mommy a cake. And it had to have cherries in it. So I found a fairly simple recipe for a cherry upside-down cake. Made it last night and it didn’t turn out too badly. Today, I came home early, popped the cake in the oven to warm, and ran to my mother-in-law’s to pick up my son so that we could surprise mommy. Things got crazy, we didn’t go straight home. I just forgot one little thing. I left the cake in the oven. This was the result.
Oh, well. Happy birthday, little darlin’. Love ya’.

Oh, sad!!! A burnt cherry upside-down cake!!!
And yet it still manages to look festive, in a gothy, inedible way…
