You did great for your first cake! I ended up burning mine to buggery! So don't be too hard on yourself.

I'll let you in on a little trick, line the bottom of the cake pan with baking paper, grease the sides of the pan with butter and dust a little flour on the side, that will stop it sticking! If making a chocolate cake you can swap out the flour dusting with coco powder so it will match the cake better.

You're gonna do great! I believe in you!

This looks like one of those underwater fault line maps of the earth. Just call it educational and tell people you did it on purpose.

Being bad at something is the first step in being good at something. Use some parchment and nonstick spray next time - you got this!
