I began baking with my Mother from the age of 5. When I was 7 my Mom and I both got chicken pox. I was ok just spotty so Iwasn't allowed to go to school. My Mom was really ill, delirious,achy and out of it and stayed in bed asleep most of the time. So, when my Dad went to work I decided to bake some Fairy cakes! I found the recipe in my kids cookery book, followed the instruction to the letter,put them in cake cases in a muffin pan, put them in the oven, Wonderful, so whats so funny? The pages of the book had become stuck together, so my recipe was half Fairy cake, half Yorkshire pudding! The kitchen looked like a bomb had hit it! My Dad had a nervous breakdown when he came home from work! 30 or so years later I am still trying to live it down. Doesn't help with the humour factor that I am now a professional chef!

I hate broccoli, and once my boyscout troop was doing this cake sale auction for fundraising. My dad kept joking that we make a "broccoli cake," and it buggered me so much that I finally told him I'd do it if we could put some peanut butter frosting on it. Since he's deathly allergic to peanut butter, I figured why not, right?
So we busted out a carrot cake recipe, and since carrots and broccoli are both kind-of-hard vegetables, we figured we'd just use the same ammount of broccoli as the recipe called for carrots.
We mixed it up, and popped it in the oven, and set the timer, and dang it, if that stuff didn't smell GOOD... but about five minutes before the timer went off, it started to not smell so good, because it was starting to burn.
Well, we took it out before it burst into flames or anything, but it was really dark and smelly, but what the heck, we weren't going to eat it, right? and after all what else would we do with this hand-made peanut-butter frosting? So we frosted it up, and took it to the bake sale auction.
Our cake came out last in the auction, right after a three tier cake with a leggo racing scene on top. Bidding started at five dollars, and after five minutes of "EEWWW," and five minutes of silence, it was sold to a good friend of my mother's, for five dollars.
They say it tasted terrible, so remember that broccoli takes less time to cook than carrots, and don't burn the cake next time.

We lived on a property when I was first married and I baked a cake in the oven - first time - in an old arga. Spoke with hubby at work and he was looking forward to some chocolate cake when he got in from work. Cake burn't, heat was too high. So I tossed it out the back on the grass, cos it was smokin...
Hubby came in form work and said "That bloody cow been in the backyard again and I said no, he said well it has left his calling card. I said look again, thats is your chocolate cake.

It was a dreary, rainy day and I was about 11 years old. My best friend and I were bored silly after having been stuck indoors for days.
My mom had gone out for while so we started rummaging through the kitchen for a snack. My friend found a box of cake mix and we figured "why not?"
We did just about everything wrong, coating the kitchen in powder an splatter. We also thought it would be cool to add food coloring, only we didn't know if you put one of every color into the mix it just ended up being a sort of purplish-grey.
When it came out of the oven we tried to frost it while it was still warm, so of course large chunks crumbled off it. We tried to patch it up with frosting and crumbs and the thing ended up looking something like the Rock of Gibralter.
We were pretty proud of ourselves and our creation. We ended up eating a couple bites of one slice, but soon realized that it tasted like frosted foam rubber.
When my mom pulled up in the driveway, we panicked and threw the Rock of Gibraltar cake out into the empty field behind my house. It was a pretty useless gesture though, because she walked in to find her kitchen completely trashed.
That was so long ago...I haven't seen that friend since we were in high school...and my mother still won't let me help her cook anything in her kitchen...
Not a real funny story, I admit. But your question brought back good memories. Thanks.

Once, when l was baking a cake l was just about to put it in the oven and decided to taste the cake mix, yuk, I had added salt instead of sugar. I had to chuck it and start again.

Try using iodized salt instead of sugar on the cake. Happened to me once, left baking to the bakers instead. Then there's dropping the entire bottle of vanilla extract in the blender, using expired yeast powder, used starch instead of flour - I'm not a clutz in the kitchen but I've seen some friends of mine do weird things in their kitchen when they bake. Last one lost gas while the darn thing was baking in the oven..... me and my friends stuck to waffles and using jello to make fruit cake jelly instead... safer for us. Hahahaha!!!

I bake alot & most often I forget to add an ingrediant, or if I'm making a double or triple batch, I'll forget how much of what I have added. But hey, when you have 5 kids running about it's not hard to lose your concentration

I made my favorite Elvis Presley pound cake and left out the heavy cream ingredient.So I made a second one and I was exhausted cause I wanted it to come out right for my brother's birthday.Sure enough both cakes were fine and you couldn't tell the difference.Not one crumb went to waste.
