I've got several goofs for you. Years ago, when I was first married, my husband leveled my oven. So come baking time-- you guessed it- he left the level in the oven. all the plastic bubbles were melted. I became a professional baker. One large batch of brownies required melted chocolate chips with sugar and eggs, then mix in flour ingredients last. Forgot to add the flour, never did that again. Another time I was baking a bundt cake in an electric oven. We were in a rural area, and lost power for about 45 minutes. I left the cake in the oven and prayed for the best. After the power came back on, after a while I checked the cake. it seemed to be done, sides puled away, top springs back, tooth pick clean. It was served that night in the dining room. Best cake ever, they said, but funny in the middle. The middle looked like s solid chocolate pudding. Never could duplicate that goof. Then there was the cheesecake. My husband was waiting for me to finish up, the cooks wanted the ovens. The cheesecake was finally done. I pulled it out of the oven and promptly dumped it upside down on the floor. Cheesecake soup anyone? Needless to say i had to clean up that mess before leaving.
