I'm baking tonight and generally make box mixes doctored with pudding mix. Well I made my chocolate, no problem. Put the vanilla in the oven, walked back into the kitchen a few minutes later and saw the UNOPENED box of pudding on the table. Slight panic, but I turned off the oven, pulled out the cakes and mixed the pudding into the batter. Sigh of relief, disaster averted. Put them back in the oven.
20 minutes later, I can't figure out why they're not baking. DUH!!! I forgot to turn the oven back on!! Good thing I'm not decorating them tonight, I seem to be having a short circuit in my brain!!
Oh gosh this COMPLETELY sounds like something I would do!!! Sounds like a good nights sleep is in order
Shelly,
Maybe you're just tired. Get some rest tonight and I'm sure that tomorrow will be much better. I can't wait to see the final cakes.
I have done something similar.... the main ingredients in my icing are powdered sugar and crisco and i mixed up a batch without the crisco... couldnt figure out why it was so stiff and nasty looking!!! Its frustrating i know but, a few days from now you will be laughing.
lol That's funny! I did the same thing once only I left out the oil. Glad to know I am not the only one.
My DUH moment also involved frosting. I made what i thought was a double batch of buttercream. Well, I doubled the crisco and nothing else. YUCK!
oh wow, the silly things we forget to do...i know one time i mixed together 2 box mixes, you know to equal like 8 cups of batter...well silly me instead of doubling the ingredients...you know 6 eggs, 1/2 cups of oil, etc....i only added the ingredients for ONE box mix....i was like man, this mixure look funny...what the heck ...i thought maybe betty crocker had changed their mix recipe. .., till i saw the 3 extra eggs on the counter after i had already put the cakes in the oven...
Whew, thank goodness you realized so soon and had some time for the oven
Once, I made a half sheet cake (1/2 chocolate 1/2 vanilla all in one pan) and "discovered" too late that I didn't put the eggs into the chocolate batter! The Vanilla was perfect and the other side looked like a brownie Luckily I hadn't procrastinated, like usual and had some time to run to the store and start all over again. My kiddies were happy
