I've been looking forward to this all year, but unfortunately i absolutely botched my cake.

I was going to make a vertical sandworm sponge cake to celebrate Dune, but I didn't roll my cake while it was warm so it cracked into too many pieces. And to make mayters worse i dropped most of a bottle of cinnamon into the frosting, making that unusable too.

I'm unfortunately out of time for baking for the next few days, but i will try again on Wednesday or Thursday.
