Some of the things I bake/cook do not always turn out the way I want them too, like today! But I dont let that discourage me from trying new recipes. Sometimes I'll try and try until I get it and other times I just wont make it again :)
Today I tried to make Chocolate and Blackberry Roulade with Blackberry sauce... it was suppose to turn out like this But mine did not and it was all my fault I've never made a roulade before (never even heard of it, lol) and I've personally never rolled a cake, Brian has (hes made a yummy pumpkin roll though the years), I've never whipped egg whites, had no clue what I was doing there, lol. Then come to find out I didnt have any parchment paper so my cake kind of stuck to the pan... I got it off. Also I didnt read the part of the recipe that called for heavy cream! Thats just not something I keep in the house... so I had some cool whip in the freeze I substituted for it, it worked ok. I didnt use the raspberries cause I wanted to use some of our frozen blackberries from summer.
The Roulade is done and in the fridge, I'll whip it out after dinner. I did taste it, its fine, nothing to get excited over. So when I'm better prepared I'll make it again and see how that goes.
