The quote

"Pride comes before the fall" was literally the case with the boiled raisin cake I made today. 

We went to dinner at Charlene and Greg's and I wanted to make a boiled raisin birthday cake for Richard.  That is his favorite cake that Mom made.

I was so proud if myself because the cakes came out perfectly.   You'll have to trust me on that, because I didn't take a picture.   But, believe me,  they were perfectly rounded.  And I was proud.

But I didn't have time to let it cool before frosting it. That's when the "fall" happened.  

I guess the only redeeming thing is that mom's always had a few cracks in it, too, but I think I out did her on this one.
