Holiday Bark Series: A big oops!

December 16, 2011 By Naomi Robinson | Bakers Royale 7 Comments

You know that saying, “Sh*t happens”. Well, it happened last night. I was so excited when the concept of this bark came to me. I was feeling good-real good. Like OMG, you-guys-are-going-to-love-this good. Well, all that gave way to a failed bark.

Even though failed recipes happen, I still hate them, especially when it’s because of a dumb mistake I made. I’ll expand more on what went wrong when I post the successful bark on Monday. I will be posting two barks next week to make up for this lost one: one on Monday and one on Thursday.

Until then pour yourself a glass of wine and take a sip – then be prepared to bite into some wine for next Monday’s bark.

    Ah, I HATE it when failures happen in the kitchen. I know they’re just part of life, and that’s what happens sometimes when you’re experimenting, but, still. It’s such a bummer!

    Looking forward to seeing the non-oops version next week!

    Happens to the best of us! At least you had wine to console you!

    Kitchen flops are never fun (i can totally relate), but I have full faith that you will conquer! Looking forward to the post! Anyway, what’s the fun in making these treats without a little challenge? 🙂

    We are living parallel lives!! I had a bark failure followed by a glass of wine this weekend as well. Eagerly awaiting the revised versions (from both of us!!)
