Let's begin by stating I followed the instructions for this recipe exactly, making one minor modification in regards to baking a cake instead of cupcakes.
I now know what it would be like to bite right into a Tempurpedic mattress.
If I had children, and sent them to school with these cupcakes, all decorated with love and whatnot, I would have thousands of dollars in psychiatric treatment to pay for, as my child might not ever recover from the ridicule he would receive as a result of bringing a golden stack of napkins with icing to school with him.
There was no sweetness to the cake. Despite using "self rising" flour, what I ended up with was more like a dish sponge that has been used for months, and thrown through the wash a few times. In all fairness, not the dish sponge with the gritties on top, as the consistency of the cake was very... pasty? Smooth and pasty.
I do not mean for this to be hurtful to the recipe owner. But for the love of god please be truthful. No amount of pandas and giraffes built out of nilla wafers and oreos on top is going to save this terrifying excuse for a "cake" mix.
I notice now that all of the reviews include massive modifications to the quantities and ingredients... LET THIS BE A WARNING TO ALL WHO GO BY THE RECIPE: SAVE YOURSELF.
I haven't laughed so hard at such an epic failure in the kitchen, ever, in my life. Thank you, recipe owner, for at least making me laugh.
