I caught your reply on FB, Dave. My wife is lucky I didn't think of using the caulking gun to do the frosting artwork.

I'm not a good baker, even when following Duncan Hines recipes.

First I didn't pre-melt the butter, so it was slightly lumpy despite using a KitchenAid. Then I poured it into the two pans...only to realize I hadn't mixed in all the baking mix. I was trying to mix it in gradually so each kid would have a chance to mix some in. So I reached into the oven, pulled out the two pans I had just stuck in, and poured them back into the KitchenAid to mix in the rest of the batter. The rest was fine, including the made-from-scratch chocolate frosting (which didn't even need a double burner).
