Adventures in Baking

Last night I attempted to bake a Gluten Free Coconut Flour Orange Cake with Coconut Oil Frosting that I had found on Pinterest.  Here is the recipe :)

I followed all instructions and this is how my adventure in baking went...

This is attempt #1 egg replacement

 

So, after seeing the finished product and tasting it... I decided to try another egg replacement that was recommended for all types of baking... 

This is the final product with the frosting...

 The final product tasted ok... but it doesn't look anything like the picture from the website where I found the recipe. I am pretty sure that the egg substitutes are what is making the difference.  First attempt at the baking on the diet was not a great one...

I will try again! I may wait until I can add eggs back into my diet and then see how it goes.  Have you ever had any amusing baking adventures?
