The sponge turned out well, not as moist as I hoped. The terrible part was putting the cake together: the writing, as you can see, was not well written; and the icing in between the layers was quite runny. Very runny, in fact. I had hoped after an hour in the fridge the icing would [...]
I baked these a while ago, found the image on my laptop and still remember how terrible these "ultimate" cookies are. Not my best batch of "cookies", had a cake-like texture. No idea what went wrong. But I definitely remember substituting syrup for honey. Bad move, I guess.
