What I Did: Chose this project for the multitude of kids in my family for Easter Sunday. Thought it would be a nice little surprise for them, since I know they’ve never had anything like it before.

First off, I didn’t go by the cake directions the site offers. I had a box of white cake mix at home, and decided to use that. Things went down hill when I realized that A.) I used three whole eggs instead of three egg whites (which is what was required) and, B.) I need an electric beater, of which I did not own.

Being the rebel that I am, I threw caution to the wind and just kept going despite the egg issue and just beat it myself like a mad woman. That’s roughly about all I changed, and I’m not sure how much of any of that really had to do with this outcome.

My Result:

easter cupcakes baked in real eggs

Next Time I Will: Not fill the stupid things up so much! really, just over half way is PLENTY!!! I ‘sort of’ saved it I guess. The ones that didn’t have too much overflow I rubbed off as much as I could and put them upside down in a cupcake wrapper. The ones that had too much I used face stickers and put them on there, so now I have some egg heads with some craycray hair going on!

Silver lining: They still taste delicious!

Fail: Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Ring

Original Inspiration: http://www.navywifecook.com/2012/01/bacon-egg-and-cheese-ring.html

What I Did: I chose this because I love bacon egg & cheese sandwiches. It looks wicked easy so I figured this would be a perfect breakfast to make all of the time.

I made the eggs, easy. Got the bacon & cheese, easy.
Rolling out the crescent rolls, not so easy. It was almost impossible to line all of the edges around the bottom perfectly lined up so that the insides don’t fall out. I spent about 20 minutes and went through 2 1/2 packs of rolls because I had to keep moving them around & they were breaking.

Finally I got it (or thought I did). I placed the egg, bacon & cheese inside (which barely all fit, it was falling out of the sides)

I cooked it for the exact amount of time the directions said. The cheese mixed with the inside of the rolls and made this gross spit-up looking concoction. It did NOT taste good either. The eggs were extremely dry from baking in the oven, the weird experiment that was created between the cheese & rolls had a weird slimy texture.

My Result:

Next Time I Will: Probably not use crescent rolls. I also would put the cheese in the egg instead of against the bread so I didn’t get that weird texture. I will stick to dunkin donuts sandwiches from now on!
