Stefin shared a memorable baking fail that happened just this week, when she forgot the baking powder in her breakfast muffins. Luckily, her children ate the hockey pucks muffins without complaint. Andrea shared her epic Thanksgiving baking fail when she dropped a hot pecan pie in the oven and spent several hours cleaning before popping a turkey into the oven for a household of family and friends. Ah, the sweet smell of burnt sugar…

Listeners, what’s on your Thanksgiving dessert buffet? Stefin is thinking about a green tomato mincemeat pie, while Andrea is contemplating Pumpkin Italian Semifreddo.

Andrea and Stefin announce next week’s challenge – a chocolate snack cake! We’d love to have you bake along with us. Stay tuned for the recipe. In the meantime, tell us, what do you think makes a snack cake different from a regular cake?
