Sherlock is great at a lot of things and lets everyone believe that he'd be rather brilliant at anything he tried his hand at.
It's someone's birthday (John/ Mrs Hudson?) and he decides to make a big effort and bake a cake for them. He's never done it before but the recipe is easy enough. The lady on the cover of the book could even be found on youtube if he gets stuck. Easy peasy. At least that's what he thought until he saw his end result and found that the "sponge cake" he'd baked could easily be used as a blunt object to murder someone with. He tries again, following the recipe down to the last letter and gets the same result. He's seriously dismayed that his very best effort just hasn't worked.
I'd really like it if whoever the intended cake is for sees the attempt for what it was and maybe even tries it to prove they appreciated the gesture, even if the cake is bloody awful.
Yep... This happened to me this morning and I'm totally projecting here. I'm a very stressed baker.
