Before the final result - the carnage

The entire philosophy of this blog is that drinking and baking is FUN . . . but I never promised that it wouldn't be messy.  I'm not going to post the recipe for this cake, because it's basically this with a few minor tweaks.  Originally grabbed the recipe from Pinterest and it really is the most amazing chocolate cake recipe ever - and pretty easy to make, too.

But this post is really about the mess.  The collateral damage that is invariably going to occur when one consumes a bottle of wine whilst whipping up a cake.

It looks something like this


And this



But at least the final version of the cake looked like this (and yes, I cheated - SuperWhy was a pre-printed fondant sheet; but the lettering was all me!).
