hahahaha, love this post. I think this is a plot to encourage the rest of us to do more baking. If it wasn’t for baking accidents, half of the classic desserts we know wouldn’t exist. Your mojo has just taken a detour, it’ll be back.

I’m so sorry to hear thta! I hope your mojo will come back…

Cheers,

Rosa

Your mojo just got snowed in for a bit, it’ll be back as soon as spring REALLY comes! It’s a FACT!

Oh, I’m so sorry to hear this, Ivonne! This happens to me every so often, too, and there’s nothing to do for it other than to take a break for a little while and then get back in the saddle. It’ll come back, I promise!

It happens to us all at some point. Relax it will return. I on the other hand have so much I want to bake and not the energy. Perhaps you should come over and I’ll have you baking all the recipes I’ve printed out to try.

Hey, Just take a step back and breathe. I know the feeling. Don’t forget that you’ve got it easy. Wheat flour is so easy to work with, so you can whip up some simple (perfection-guaranteed) cookies and take a bite of their inspiration. Simple is best when starting up again. You’ll get there, I’m sure of it =D!

Oh, honey, no no no no. That lovely mini bundt pan is just crying out for some chocolate! Maybe like this? http://foodlibrarian.blogspot.com/2009/04/cinnamon-chocolate-bundt-cake.html

Or how about just a simple bundt studded with chocolate chips? Or cherries? Or streusel? If I could fly in there, I would pour you a big glass of wine and get my hands deep into some flour and butter stat, and this baking crisis would be over in no time flat!

It’ll come back, you can’t loose it, it’s just temorarily on holiday (or something!). I recognise the vow (I will not buy any more cookbooks/magazines this year) and I recognize breaking it too… *blush*
Next time don’t throw your unfortunate bake out, crumble it on some yogurt, custard or whatever pud, and you’ll have a great dessert!

I’m sure you’ve still got it Ivonne, it’s just holding back for the next big break through
Right we’re not going to buy any more cookbooks . . . for at least the next 5 minutes.

HANG IN THERE, IVONNE!! I’d be happy to bake for you in the meantime

Oh dear, I would have wept copious tears while my kids would have scraped out the crumbs & made a meal of them. Love the mini bundt pans though; am quite envious of them. I think the mojo might be sitting in HongKong. Maybe Dharm can arrange a round trip…LOL!

I can’t stand when that happens. Don’t fret, it’s a phase. Possibly the weather even. I swear my bread goes quirky when the weather is off.

Ahh - but the photography gods are still with you!

Oh no! I hate when that happens. Something must be in the air- a lot of bloggers I follow are having the same problem this week, and it happened to me, too. You’re not alone :).

Sorry about the mishap, but glad to know that even you with all your baking knowledge ,are like the rest of us! I bet hey still tasted good even if they didn’t come out quite right.

Nothing wrong with your mojo, the planets were just out of alignment. This occasionally happens to me and I just make a trifle out of the wreckage.

Ivonne, next thing you bake, tell yourself…I’m not going to blog this. It will inevitably turn out perfect (like it does with me). Then you’ve got it back!

Ohhhhhhh, how sad. And funny.
Yeah, I’m familiar with the magazine vow. And ingoring “the voice”. I’m sure they tasted goos though.
Don’t worry. It’ll come back. It’s in your veins.

It happens to the best of us. See?
You just need to dive back in. Start slowly with some easy cookies.

Then you can move up to a Simple quickbread.
Only then should you attempt something like bundt cake.

Ah well, that’ just how it goes. You win some, you lose some. You bake some, you burn some.
Just relax a bit in the spring sunshine and give it another go.

Clearly a pan-error.
I say you punish said pan by leaving it on the very top of the cupboards to gather dust for one month, until it learns it’s lesson.

You obviously still have it - your little voice was there! We would have slathered it with whipped cream and eaten it. Not-terribly-pretty does NOT mean not tasty!

I wrote on daring bakers forum.
Unfortunately I can’t partecipate to this month initiative…this is not time to enjoy but criyng here so you can understand me I’m sure.
sorry.

I just hate that when that happens! IT will come back.

Tonight my six year old said her name was Mrs. Cream. I asked her if that would be Mrs Cream Puff and she said yes. I just had to giggle and of course thought of you.

Mojo Rejuvination! Sip a latte and enjoy.

don’t give up, cream puff! you’re my inspiration to keep baking. i pore over my cookbooks, often thinking of the amazing feats you take on for your blog. the mojo will return!

How about making that Perfect Party Cake again. It is easter it has coconut. Give it another try. I make it at least 4 times a year I think you will enjoy it.

Can happen to the best of us, you’ll be back in the saddle before you know it!

I’ve had this happen before. I find sometimes the best way to get back into the groove is to make something I’m familiar with that I know I can’t screw up - usually I’ll have a bad run as a result of being over-ambitious. Hope you get your mojo back soon!

It happens … it sucks … but the good thing is, the mojo does come back. For me it helps to change a recipe i’m very familiar with, like my tiramisu recipe, i used rye flour and brown rice for savoiardis and the mojo returned! If that doesn’t help, just look outside, it’s spring time, here the air is filled with white cherry petals, mojo likes good mood. I hope it comes back to you soon!

Oh how I know the loss of the mojo. I hope you find yours quickly as it is no fun to go without it.

[…] another day …). I’m also hopeful that it’s the beginning of some better baking. As you know from this post, I’ve been struggling of late, but it seems that with the Chocolate Coffee Dacquoise pictured […]

Gosh, even messed up they look great. I was thinking ice cream or whipped cream between the two pieces! Yummy!
