Three years ago I baked a birthday cake that looked like a pancake

I tried making my first layered cake for my mom's birthday in 2022 in Austin. The layers came out flat as a pancake and the frosting melted off because the kitchen was too hot. Last month I finally tried again with a different recipe from a friend and the cake actually held its shape. What's the biggest time gap you've had between a baking fail and finally getting it right?

Same thing happened to me with a cheesecake. Took me two years to try again.

Felt that. Did you change anything in your recipe the second time around, or just give it another shot exactly the same way?
