New Food Blog!

Hey everyone! I know I haven't been very active on DeviantArt lately, but I've started a new blog http://sugarandiceisnice.blogspot.com/ For years, I've been experimenting with different cuisines and coming up with ways to remake my favorite foods.  After sharing countless recipes and hours of food discussion, a friend convinced me to start a food blog.  What an excellent idea!  Now I can share one of my passions with people everywhere!

So my question is this: Have you ever made an irreversible mistake in your art and ended up surprising yourself by really loving the result?
