How I almost Burned my School to the Ground!

Hi guys! Sorry I took an eternity to post, but now I'm here! 😅 In the while I wasn't posting, I made three cakes! I'm going to share my favorite first.

This is a three-layered chocolate cake, and boy! This cake has some story behind it!

When I was mixing the batter for this (and discreetly "taste testing"), my teacher told me to pour all the batter in three molds. I was slightly confused because the batter didn't seem like enough, and the other students noticed, giving confused glances at the teacher, but she seemed calm, putting her entire faith in us that we wouldn't mess up.

So I poured batter into the three molds, being very careful to make sure they each had an equal amount.

I put the three cakes on a metal tray and put a ripped piece of paper with my name on it so I knew which was mine when it came out of the oven.

When they came out of the oven, I took the cakes out of their molds and let them cool down as the teacher helped us prepare the frosting.

When the frosting was prepared and the cakes were cooled down, I stacked them up, and my teacher plopped a generous amount of frosting on top. I grabbed my spatula and started spreading.

This is where it gets interesting...

As you can see in the image above, there are drips of chocolate around the edges.

As I was dripping the chocolate, the chocolate started to set and harden, so my teacher told me to throw the bowl of chocolate in the microwave for ten seconds.

Unluckily for me, I didn't grow up using a microwave, so I don't know how to set it for ten seconds; I only know how to put it in there for 30 seconds, 1 minute, 2 minutes, etc...

BUT! What I do know is the number 1 rule when it comes to microwaves: absolutely NO METAL! EVER!

and it just slipped my mind… 😞🙏

So I put the plastic bowl with a METAL SPOON in the microwave and set it for 30 seconds.

I didn't notice the bowl melting under the hot spoon because I was distracted fiddling with my thumbs, idk.

My teacher came over and opened the door when there was 1 second left on the timer. She stares inside the microwave for a moment, then back at me. I see this disappointed/confused expression on her face, I look inside the microwave, and I see the bowl melted under the heat of the hot spoon. The spoon was covered in melted plastic; it was a complete disaster.

In a panic I tried to take the catastrophe out of the microwave by grabbing the BURNING HOT spoon. 😩🤚

I burned my thumb really badly, and I couldn't feel my fingerprint for a few days after.

Thankfully, my teacher just laughed it off and wasn't mad.

Thank God...

I very carefully decorated the cake and took it home.

I guess beauty really is pain...

I usually bring my cakes to a friend of mine so I can hang out at her house and play with her two dogs. I was about to do that; I had the cake in hand, about to leave when...

I DROPPED IT!

I FRICKIN' DROPPED IT!

Thankfully I caught it, but it was all mushed up and ugly, and I couldn't give it to my friend like this. :/

So I brought it back in the kitchen, where my sister, who saw everything, was waiting and smiling. I set the cake on the counter and cleaned up the mess as my sister cut a slice for herself. 😆

Thank you for reading my post, here are the results!
