Hi Maria-I wasn’t sure to publish it or not but figured others might encounter the same fate with the recipe. The taste was great actually, pity it was all in bits and pieces

I’m glad you still chose to write about the cake despite it being a challenging experience! The ‘tarted up’ picture looks fine! I hope the taste didn’t disappoint?

Hi SydneyGal-Thanks! I did consider making a trifle but after that the thought of making jelly and custard was too much…

Hi Carolyn-Oh cool! I was hoping to do that through throwing everything I had at it I considered flashing lights but that might have been too much…

Hi Maria-Actually you’re right, the smell was amazing!

Hi Y-I’m not sure either. She’s a bit kooky so perhaps it’s the recipe for those that are a bit forgetful

Hi Mel-Why thankyou! That’s sweet of you to say

Hi Iron Chef Shellie-Perhaps it sensed my distrust? Thanks, it did taste good which was good!

Hi grace-if you’re a cinnamon fan, you’ll definitely like this. Apparently Amy has her own cupcake business!

Hi howtoeatacupcake-Oh wow, you’ve had one of her cupcakes? What were they like? What flavour did you have?

Hi Patricia-Thanks! Hehe yes cinnamon saves the day again

Hi Lore-Thankyou!

Oh, sweetie! I was so scared reading that the cake would have to go into a cold oven… Yikes!
Even though the top didn’t come off as a whole, I think it looks delicious. One can’t go wrong with cinnamon, Lorraine!

I’m sorry the recipe didn’t work. It looks fantastic though!

And isn’t Amy Sedaris the cutest? Her cupcakes are delicious!

perhaps amy should just stick to comedy.
i love the idea of this–heck, there’s cinnamon in the name of the recipe, so i’m clearly smitten. i’ll take your warnings under advisement.

Well it sounds nice, pitty it didn’t go to plan…. I’m not sure if I would have trusted the cold oven instruction either!!

I’d still eat it!

I agree with Carolyn, at first glance, that cake looks really good - the fact that you could salvage a disaster probably says more about you decorating skills that anything else!

I don’t really get the point of not preheating. Is that meant to make it an easier recipe somehow? Anyway, kudos to you for rescuing it with a bit of decor
