I really should peek in the oven before I preheat it. I preheated
the oven to 450 degrees so we could bake some make your own pizzas. I
forgot that I had put Max and Whit's leftover birthday cakes in the
oven to keep the creatures away. I started smelling something sweet.
The cream cheese frosting on Whit's cake is brown and crunchy! It
tastes good to me, like toasted marshmallows.

Often great culinary discoveries are from accidents! Corn flakes were
invented that way, a pastry chef for a fancy hotel was trying to come
up with a new dessert. Didn't quite come out the way he wanted it to,
but...

Nonsense. Corn flakes were invented by W. K. Kellog in the kitchen at
the Battle Creek Sanitarium, looking for a way to make the cheapest food
they could get (corn meal) palatable to the poor patients there.
No accident.

Nonsense is right:

Still, it was an accident, according to the above cite. But the goal
was to serve the blandest food possible, as the Kellogg brothers thought
that would decrease sex drive.
