Just had a buttercream disaster at my sister's birthday in Akron
I was making a chocolate cake for my sister Lisa's party and tried to double the frosting recipe without adjusting the mixer time. The whole batch turned into a grainy, separated mess right as guests were arriving. I ended up scraping it off, doing a quick crumb coat with what was salvageable, and covering the whole thing in a mountain of sprinkles to hide it. Anyone ever save a frosting that's completely broken like that?

My chocolate ganache seized up last winter. Adding a tablespoon of hot cream and whisking by hand brought it back together.

I saw a tip about warming the mixing bowl over hot water for broken buttercream.
