To be honest the baking process was such an emotional roller-coaster. Everything started out pretty good but then after putting jam on the bottom half I was gonna put on the top half and it all crumbled down. I must admit I shed a few tears but then I managed to save it, so it doesn’t look so horrible. Of course it doesn’t look as good as I wanted it to, but it still looks good and most importantly it tastes AMAZING!
