My grandma had them in unlabeled glass jars. Haha. Guess what we did right away? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stupid#post-52839 Sun, 15 Jan 2012 17:36:19 +0000 mediagirl 52839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I once found out that you cannot use olive oil in place of vegetable oil in brownies. Don't try it. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stupid#post-52832 Sun, 15 Jan 2012 16:22:11 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 52832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>too many times to count! </p> <p>Some of my finer moments:<br /> - Added baking powder instead of baking soda<br /> - Forgot to put the chocolate chips in my chocolate chip cookies<br /> - Undercooked my derby pie and brought it to Thanksgiving </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stupid#post-52822 Sun, 15 Jan 2012 15:49:34 +0000 cyndistar3 52822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I forgot to add the baking powder for my daughters biethday cake last year and it ended up being a dense piece of crap :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stupid#post-52739 Sun, 15 Jan 2012 11:10:21 +0000 L2sweetpea 52739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was a teenager I forgot to add flour when making cookies. They just melted in the oven. I mean how do you forget such an integral ingridient. Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stupid#post-52722 Sun, 15 Jan 2012 09:59:45 +0000 heffalump 52722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Once I put two table spoons instead of teaspoons of salt when making a challah. My very kind husband still ate it though, even though it was extra salty.</p> <p>My favorite was when my sister didn't put the apples in her apple cake. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stupid#post-52696 Sun, 15 Jan 2012 08:32:35 +0000 loveisstrange 52696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was making brownies one time and accidentally put in 1 3/4c of oil instead of 3/4c... yeah, those were some greasy brownies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stupid#post-52683 Sun, 15 Jan 2012 07:02:03 +0000 Rubies 52683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tried to make meringue and was hand-whipping. I had a drop of yolk in it and thought, "Ah, well"...I was whipping for 15 minutes with no results before I googled it and learned that the yolk had ruined it all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stupid#post-52676 Sun, 15 Jan 2012 01:21:01 +0000 Red 52676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it tastes decent, a brownie cake can be cute too, especially if you cut two rounds (one small and one bigger) and stack it up like a two-tiered cake and frost it :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stupid#post-52675 Sun, 15 Jan 2012 01:13:45 +0000 MaisyMay 52675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My "cake" looks a lot like very chewy brownies...what a waste. And this means making another one tomorrow even though I'm working until nearly 7...oh boy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stupid#post-52665 Sun, 15 Jan 2012 00:35:01 +0000 Red 52665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I once accidentally made Italian meringue buttercream using salted butter. It's a pretty long process to make so when I finally realized my mistake, I was so pissed that I had just wasted all that effort/time. Plus, butter isn't cheap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stupid#post-52663 Sun, 15 Jan 2012 00:26:27 +0000 mrstilly 52663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a nightmare in the kitchen. I made tollhouse cookies with half the butter. They didn't turn out well. Usually I burn stuff or forget an ingredient. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stupid#post-52659 Sat, 14 Jan 2012 23:59:15 +0000 MaisyMay 52659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>May have just done the stupidest thing ever in baking...I forgot to put the milk in and have no idea how it is going to turn out. It's for a birthday cake for my mom...and I bought the nicer chocolate for it too. Bugger it all!</p> <p>Have you made any baking goof ups? Tell me to make me feel better! </p>
