Worst Cake I've Made Since 3rd Grade!November 07, 2007By brentay79
"I made this cake for when guests were coming over thinking it would have an awesome smell. The cake took over an hour to cook. I cut into it thinking it was done, only to return it to the oven twice. It was disgusting! My guests ate the cool whip off the top and left the cake on their plate! How embarassing!"
