Fast And Easy Coffee Cake And A BIG FAT FLOP

You know how it is when you start out 

with high hopes for a quick little treat?

My daughter belongs to a MOPS

(Moms Of PreSchoolers) 

and even though she won't go to the 

meeting this week she needs to supply

a simple little coffee cake.

So, we hauled out the recipe book

and made a wonderful coffee cake.

Well....We THOUGHT it was going to be wonderful.

It was in a BUNDT PAN and SOMEONE me

failed to prepare the pan properly 
(didn't flour it after greasing it-duh)

So it came out kind of a FLOP.

HOW DO YOU CURE A FLOP?

Hmmmm.....maybe with some icing?

Ummmm...NOPE!  That didn't work....
EPIC FLOP!
Do YOU ever have FLOPS?
No?  Liar, Liar, Pants On Fire
It seems like everyone in Blogland is SO perfect.
Guess what?  All those PERFECT PEOPLE?
Yeah- Ummm.....That's not real.
REAL PEOPLE have REAL FLOPS sometimes.

So.-After OUR flop~ 
I used OUR because I like to share
the credit where I can~
it was back to the drawing board.
We I found a different recipe this time.
Ah-  A perfect recipe with few ingredients.
A good thing 
being as I had used all the "good stuff" on 
THE FLOP.
We I ditched the BUNDT PAN and used an 
8x8 pan this time
(GREASED AND FLOURED-
thanks for asking.)
SOOO much better!

Oh, yeah, baby....
AND speaking of baby...
notice how cleverly I worked the word 
BABY in there?
I will leave you with a peek at 
PURE SWEETNESS....
for all the baby lovers out there.

Oh My Chubby Goodness!!!!

Have a good day-
I will be serving up THE FLOP here today
and flopping around doing nothing...
Yeah, right- FAT chance of THAT happening
with a 2 year old, a 4 year old, 
a new baby and a C-Sectioned Mom!
