I have a small cupcake business, and making 56 dozen (in 12 flavours) for a two-day fair left me with no room to store them in my very small bungalow, so I popped some (in their plastic containers) into my double oven. You guessed it! Forgot they were there, turned the oven on to 350F and welded the containers to the shelves, destroying their contents in the process. Big oopsie! And a huge "I owe you one...for the rest of my life" to my long-suffering hubby, who cleaned off the shelving. Stayed up until 3 a.m. making more cupcakes and wishing I learned better from bitter experience..
