I just love all of these oops. Thanks for sharing. When I was 11, I wanted to surprise my mother with a birthday cake when she came home from work. It was a pan Chocolate Cherry cake out of her Mirro cookbook. I think I added buttermilk AND baking powder and it overflowed all over the oven. I was crying when she came home and she helped me clean it all up. That was 57 years ago. I took out the very old Mirro and made the cake last year, this time, reading the directions very carefully. It came out perfect. Here's to you mom, in heaven.
