I made it for my show tonight and here's a hoot for ya...I wasn;t feeling well today -- and my almost-5yo wasn't quite himself so I was distracted worrying about him, helping my 8yo with his homework and doing general around the house crap...I needed to bake the brownie base for the recipe before the show so I put it in the oven and set the timer for 30 minutes and took it out when the timer went off -- never bothered to stick a toothpick in it. It looked ok.
Get the the show - decorate it blah blah blah...guests cut into it -- the center is totally uncooked - Whoops!! Of course I did not realize this until AFTER the guests had all left cuz I was in the other room taking orders as they were eating - LOL
Maybe they just thought it was meant to be gooey in the center!!? Nobody said anything about it to me - LOL
