Chocolate/Pecan rum balls are done, SECOND ATTEMPT of a rum cake in the oven now... >:(

I had a mess up too... I don't know this oven in this apartment, and have not used it often. When I used it last night I gotup at 35 minutes to check my cake (it smelled as if it were burning at supposedly 325º??) Well the darn thing had rose, and then collapsed in the middle! I have only had two cakes fall on me my entire life so needless to say I was not happy! A cup of walnuts, half a cup of Railean dark Reserve XO, among other ingredients WASTED! GRRRR!!!

Anyway, I got a temperature thermometer thingy and stuck it in the oven this morning. Spent my entire morning calibrating and figuring out how much the thing was consistantly off by and it appears it is about 25º off /higher then the set temp... so I am attempting my second rum cake, a chocolate rum cake this time.... at 300º set temp.... we'll see...

It may very well be that Teach simply is not meant to have his rum cake this year...it's a sign... LOL

Just looked at the forecast for this weekend and GOOD NEWS FOLKS!!!... the precipitation forecast percentage has dropped!!!  We are now looking at only a 30% chance of rain on Thursday and a 40% chance for Friday!  That is a 10% reduction for each day.

Whoever is doing the 'no rain dance' keep up the magic!!!  ;D

*saying prayers to the rum gods now...*

It came out BEAUTIFUL Teach!! A dark chocolate rum cake crowned with walnuts. This will be the only one I am bringing, (I WAS going to bring a golden too but because of the oven mishap it was a failed attempt)I simply do not have enough time to make another.

So Chocolate pecan rum balls, Chocolate fudge rum cake crowned with walnuts, and a tray of 50 sugar cookies fresh from Krogers bakery for those that don't consume rum...

Now just pray it makes the trip without a mishap.... LOL

I was able to swing by Mclotofus on our way out (I have to work my mundane job today)  :( and everyone was super nice and the food I ate was fabulous! Whoever made the key lime pie....awesome!

Thanks for making me feel welcome and I was able to finally meet some of you in person...YAY!

Wishing I was at camp.....

Wishing I was at faire too, and camp but alas, Monday will come fast and everyone can join me in the rejoicing of good times all season and the post-season blues of another season being over.

Getting there late as we did we still had a fantastic time that night.
There were tons of leftovers and I did manage to get my hands on a few (dozen) rumballs and a bite... large bite of rum cake

Friends are the family we would have chosen...
