We were invited to our friends’ house for after-church lunch.  I didn’t have time for a special dessert so I figured we would make our sort-of-better-than-average chocolate mayo cake.  So while I was at work for a long shift, John was going to make it and I would frost it when I got home.  But John forgot to put the mayo and cinnamon in the chocolate mayo cake.  So he had to make a second one.  As I was getting in the door he was making the buttercream frosting.  But it did not look right.  It was soupy or something.  So I had to make that over again.

The final result was pretty.  But maybe, just maybe, it would have been easier to make a fancy dessert?
