Made a banana cake in the Bread machine. Left the paddle out :eek:
Was always taught by mum that all but the worst baking disasters can be saved 'cover it in custard'

When my 2 DD's were 7 and 9 they wanted to make gingerbread men.
We weighed out the ingridients and i thought that it seemed a very small amount so decided to double the mixture and double it again. Big mistake. Took all day to mix knead, let the mixture rest. We finally put the last lot of gingerbread men in at 10 o'clock at night. There was enough biscuits to take into school for every child. 100 in all. Took me ages to be able to face being able to eat anything with ginger in.All the children at the school were really happy and thought i was a brill mummy.

Having just got up, turned the computer on and gone down stairs to make a cup of tea, I've just found that I forgot to take the yoghurt out of the yoghurt maker last night It's been in since 8 am yesterday :eek:

I appear to have made cheese. It's now in the fridge being strained through some muslin. I think apprentice tycoon once put up a recipe for cheese cake made from overdone yoghurt ... so I've off to hunt through the threads for that now

I have just found this thread and read it right the way through (again!) and loved every minute, I think it definitely deserves a little bump!

Rather than just bumping the thread... why not share a disaster of your own?

This is the best and most hilarious thread ever! I have been glued to it, and I should be working.:D
I too have had disasters aplenty like many of you guys out there, that's how inventions happen, new recipes appear and health and safety handbooks are written!:rotfl:
Thanks to you all for the entertainment.:beer:

I baked a spiced banana cake yesterday, only realised after eating two slices that I'd completely forgotten to put the eggs in! Tasted delicious, though, amazingly light and fluffy!

Ermm... where to start...

1) self raising flour in the breadmaker (labelling accident - I put SR in the bread flour plastic box).
2) realising that centrigrade and farenheit are not the same thing the hard way
3) Cooking gooseberry pies for dinner thinking they were steak pies (another labeling accident)

Took me ages to get the hang of Yorkshire puddings. I've had many yorkshire cakes (flat solid things).

Beans!! I love beans, especially black, pinto, black eyed and chickpeas. To save money I buy dried. Soak them over night and then.....well usually I then put them onto boil. Boil the pan dry so it's completely unuseable and the house smells like burnt beans for a week.
Thankfully I have now discovered a way to cook them in the slow cooker.
