Birthday cake mishap [View all]

Both my husband and my mother have their birthdays this coming week (his today and Mom next Friday), and both are mildly adult-onset diabetic, so I was planning to bake a cake this afternoon that they can share between them. German chocolate is their favorite, so I bought the mix and a tub of frosting this afternoon.

Upon preparing to mix it up, I accidentally grabbed the wrong box of cake mix and realized it too late, so instead of a German chocolate cake they're getting a devil's food cake with coconut pecan frosting.

My more literate friends can call it The Faustian Bargain.
My Southern friends can call it The Devil Went Down to Georgia. 😜
