I am making my first cake for a non- family event for Saturday. (My friend's daughter's 2nd b-day party) I am very nervous about it. I am baking the first layer (elmo face) when i go to the sink to start cleaning up, and notice there are NO EGGSHELLS IN THE SINK!!! Where are they????............Still in the refrigerator!!! I forgot to put them in!!!!! I pull the cake out of the oven to look at it-- it looks nice and light brown, so I taste it-----SO GROSS!!!!!! I feel sick right now after tasting it!! So elmo face #2 is baking as I write this!!! (and i doubled checked the sink for eggshells before I put it in the oven!!!) icon_cry.gificon_cry.gificon_redface.gificon_redface.gificon_mad.gif

It has happened to all of us at one time or another. Chalk it up to experience and move on. That's the best way I learn - by making mistakes LOL

The first and ONLY jam cake my mom every baked....well fried....she FORGOT THE FLOUR! LOL I was only about 9 yrs old. But, for some reason I remember it like it was yesterday! Thus, I ALWAYS make sure I use flour! LOL

Been there.. Done that.... Found melted butter in the microwave just to name one of many mistakes. Don't beat yourself up too much! At least you have time to redo this one and I'm sure it will be great!!

We all forget something in a recipe sometime! When it happens we're frustrated, but later it's hilarious. I distinctly remember my mom making tuna noodle casserole for a family gathering. Halfway there she realized that she never added the tuna!! Of course a stop at the store, some quick sturring, and they were able to fix it. Though it would be nice if cake was that easy!!

You wanna hear a real idiot story?

It's one thing to forget to put in the eggs or even the milk but I forgot to add the flour. icon_redface.gif
Yes. You read correctly. I was upset with my husband so I wasn't "all there." icon_mad.gif

I put in the ingredients (so I thought) turned on my K.A., walked away, came back 2 minutes later, turned off my K.A., poured the gunk into the pan and realized that I had forgotten the flour. icon_surprised.gif

I laughed, then I cried. icon_cry.gif but I learned to laugh again. icon_lol.gif

At least the egg shells were not in the cake!

We all zone out from time to time... ever wonder when driving if you stopped at the last stop light or realized that you made it to work and don't remember the trip?

I tell my self the car drives itself... I just hang on!

Chin Up!
