"3 steps to cake heaven"

I was on baking duty at our local parent and toddler group this week. I can't bake but I thought a Red Velvet boxed mix should work OK. I have seen my daughter do it successfully and how hard can it be to add 205ml of water, 3 free range eggs, two and a half tablespoonfuls of oil and mix well? Well I don't have a measuring jug with millilitre divisions on so I measured 200ml and a tad more. I don't have half a tablespoon so I used a whole one and tipped about half of it off. I don't think the eggs were free range but they didn't say "from caged hens" on the box so that looked hopeful. I mixed them together.
If you do a whole cake for mother and baby groups it doesn't go far because most mothers with young children like a decent slice of cake, so you only get 10 servings. 
I decided to pour the mixture into cake cases and do individual buns which I would ice with a swirl of glorious butter icing and top with some sparkling sugar I found at the back of the baking cupboard. (It was still in date -just.)
I poured the mixture into the first 8 cases, as I filled the ninth, the first case began to sag and the mixture began to sidle out. As I filled the tenth, the second began to sag and the mixture began to sidle out. By the time I had filled 16 cases, nine of them had disgorged themselves over the baking tray and the other seven were about to follow suit. I quickly grabbed 16 muffin cases and picking up the round fluted flat circles which had once been bun cases I squeezed what was left of the mixture into the muffin cases. (This step was not one of the three included on the "Three steps to cake heaven" advertised on the box.) The muffin cases began to sag and the mixture began to sidle out. I put them in the oven as quickly as I could before any more red velvety gunge could escape. After the requisite amount of time, give or take a few minutes, I took the cakes out of the oven. They were interesting shapes, sizes and colours. I made some butter icing, It isn't a great idea to try and whisk the icing sugar into the butter, but we live and learn. There are fifteen possible ways to assemble an icing bag with a three part nozzle. Fourteen of them don't work. (We live and learn) Eventually I put the butter icing in the large icing bag and squeezed, (see my last blog) not a lot of it came out of the nozzle. 
I went to Tesco and bought some cakes for our parent and toddler group.
Draw whatever deep spiritual lesson you like from this blog. All I know is, God didn't give me the gift of baking.
