Looks like Poo?

Do you ever get really excited to try a recipe out?

One you have been looking forward to for months, and you finally get all the ingredients together and 

then your children say,' Blurgh, looks like Poo!'

'Ginormous dinosaur poo! Hatchling no4 chimes in.

Talk about a mood killer, eh!

It isn't that bad... is it?

Maybe a little...

Anyways, should you be interested in attempting to make this look a lot better than I did, I can testify it was delicious...
