I believe it. Ours used to eat drywall.

I have a 100lb dobe/lab mix. She's eaten half a pot of spaghetti off the stove, leftover meatloaf after dh made himself a sandwich and left it on the counter, and a footlong Subway sandwich left on a side table when I ran out to the garage to help dh with something. Wait, I take that back, she didn't eat the whole thing, she left the lettuce and pickles!

LOL, What's with labs and a sweet tooth. My chocolate ate 4 doz butter tarts off the cupboard , less one that he couldn't reach, and he also ate half a cake that I had just finished decorating and that was due next morning for 8 AM (this was 10 PM). Had to send dh 40 km to town to the 24 hour grocery store for more ing. & stayed up all night rebaking & decorating. And then to top it all off the lady I made the cake for called me the next day to say that her dog (also a lab) had eaten one end of the cake. She just cut off the chewed part & served it anyway (yeeew).

This is too funny! Love it. Last week I went to make RI, and put two bags of PS in, instead of one. I couldnt figure out why my new mixer wasnt working. Oh it wasnt the mixer it was the user...

But, it turned out kind of like a rolled buttercream...

Too funny!! I'm glad I'm not the only one. My store is with brownies. I was aking brownies for my grand daughter. I mixed everything as usual and then added my chopped pecans...no problem..When they came out of the oven my husband wanted to know what was wrong with them....I had made them without wearing my glasses and had not realized the peacns were not shelled just cracked. The brownies were full of shells. What makes this even funnier is that my grand daughter was watching me and didn't say a word. I ask her about it and her response was she didn't want to hurt my feelings LOL

Funny thread!

When I was pregnant with my second I made a pecan pie to take to friends for dinner. I walked in with it and they asked me what kind of pie I made and I looked at them funny (?) thinking who doesn't recognize a pecan pie. I told them its pecan and they said "I don't think I have ever seen a top crust on pecan pie before". It was at that moment that I realized I put the top crust on the darn thing! I blamed the pregnancy.

ive forgot eggs in my cake before, how does a cake baker forget to add eggs, i blame mine on pregnancy brain :p

This thread seems to be switching back and forth and I'm loving it all! I used to have a Doberman who goes down in my family's history for being a garbage gut. Forget the roasts and chops pilfered from off the counter, the topper was his OPENING the refrigerator door and finishing off the three pumpkin pies waiting for delivery to friends that evening. The whole kitchen floor was so covered with overlapping pumpkin paw prints that I almost wish I could have laminated the design. Quite frankly, it was attractive!

Too funny! Glad I'm not alone...

Last week, I got started late (as usual!) making my mom's birthday cheesecake. I don't make cheesecakes too often, so I always second- (and third-) guess myself as to whether it's really done...so after the allotted time, I thought it wasn't done...thought I set the timer for 10 min, and sat down...(it was midnight) I FELL ASLEEP and woke up at 2:30 am to DH asleep on the floor, and the smell of burned cheesecake!!! Ewww.......and did I mention that was the night we got the HUGE blizzard? So running to the store for replacement ingredients or even a frozen one was out of the question...Luckily I had enough stuff in the house to fudge a mini version the next morning!

Several years ago, I was mixing a cake w/ my olf handheld Sunbeam mixer. The cord was loose at the mixer end and kept coming out. It came out and fell into the cake mix. I pulled it out and stood there w/ mixer (which I couldn't put down) in one hand and the cord w/ icing on the tip in the other hand trying to figure out how to get the icing off. Now, mind you, the other end of the cord was still plugged in. So genius decided to lick the icing off. Can anyone say sparks shooting out?????

LOL! Don't lick your mixer silly! =)
My schnauzer pug has destroyed many cakes, and kept eating roses I was making when I'd run for a potty break. Could not figure out at first what was happening! The worst was when I put a 1 lb block of butter on my patio table to soften. I forgot it, but she didn't! 1/2 pound eaten and as my husband described it "butter in, butter out" I bet she'd do it again though!

Ahhhh!!!! I poured an entire pot of spaghetti down the sink once, forgetting to put the strainer down first. My husband was looking at me like I was an idiot...

Mixer - OUCH. I'm always so scared of that when my lo tries to watch the KA run.

When I was first married, I learned that freezer strength Ziploc bags don't like hot from the stove meatballs in tomato sauce. Completely melted. Try cleaning that from between the stove and countertop.

i recently was making a guiness choc.cake and vanillia cake for my dad's 55th birthday. as i was making two cakes at the same time (multitasking at its finnest), i measured and sifted out my coco for the choc.cake (or so i thought) my husband was chatting with me the whole time in the kitchen. i had butter melted on the stove with the guiness, time to add the two cups of sifted coco....and wait a second...this dosn't look or smell like coco...yup...it was cinnimon! two cups!! my husband claims he thought it was odd that i was using so much...why didn't i smell it when i was sifting it? multitasking! it's fondly refered to as my cinnimon slurey now!! (fyi both coco and cinnimon were both bought by bulk and in same kind of bags...labeling all my bags now...!!)

I love this thread! I made an angel food cake and instead of picking it up by the outside of the pan to put it in the oven, I grabbed the inside section and batter oozed out all over and down the front of the counter. Quite a mess!!

This is my kind of thread. I've had several dunderhead moments....one actually involved my head. A very long time ago I had really long hair, down to my butt. I was making a cake and forgot to tie my hair up. I leaned a bit to far to reach something and ended up with the beaters eating my hair all the way up to my head. Talk about a mess and I had to start over b/c I could bet money on hair being in that mix!
Also many years ago I opened the oven to pull out my cakes and the rack slid out a tad too far, the cakes actually flipped perfectly upside down on the floor, with no bouncing or skidding. My mom laughed and said 'now that's what I call an upside down cake'.
I've caught the toaster oven on fire, trying to toast pita bread. I learned how to use the fire extinguisher! (I've also had heavy duty fire safety training after that!)
We all have our moments, and we learn from most of them and get a good laugh. I think sometimes are brains check out but our hands are still busy!

In the early years of my marriage, I've been married for almost 36 years, I decided to make my mother's pecan pie recipe. My husband prefers pie to cake. I was so proud of myself when it was finished until my husband said the pie tasted different and what kind of nuts had I used. I told him pecans of course, but after checking further, I realized I had used walnuts instead. Duh! Needless to say, I haven't made a pie since. I'll just stick to cakes!

It's so refreshing to know I'm not the only one! I blame it on being WAY too busy and overly tired! But it's worth a good laugh after.

I have so many mishaps in the kitchen because I think I'm just clumsy. One day I was making brownies and I was using a mini cupcake pan well I went to put it in the oven and it slipped off the rack and fell upside down on the oven door. It was hot so I grabbed a spatuala and scooped it off and put it back on the pan to throw it in the garbage. Well the pan slipped again and fell upside down on the floor. I had to clean up both messes, I wanted to scream. lol

When DH and I were first married, I made brownies. After they cooled, I put plastic wrap over the glass bar pan and decided to store them in the oven to save on space. Next day, I preheated the oven for dinner with the pan of brownies/plastic wrap still inside. DH is a human garbage can and refused to let me throw them away. He peeled off the melted plastic and said, "Well, more for me." I don't store food in the oven anymore.

I have taken the hot cake pan from the oven, put the oven mits back in the drawer, and then grab the HOT cake pan again with my bare hands! Ouch!!

My MIL (who's an idiot anyway) grabbed cinnamon instead of chili powder and made her chili with it! I was like...could you seriously not smell the cinnamon? LOL

About two weeks ago, I was warming a tiny bit of fondant to make something. I reached in the microwave to get it and my finger went right through the middle of it.....IT AS LIKE LIQUID FIRE! I screamed and tried to lick it off.....yeah, that didn't work out well! I still have a little spot on my finger where the skin is growing back.

Not cake related, but when I was pregnant with my DS I was making eggs for Easter, 5 dozen to be exact. It was about 11:30 the night before Easter. When the timer went of I took the eggs poured off the hot water and proceeded to crack the eggs. My husband asked me what i was doing and I said "cracking the eggs while they are hot so they are easier to peel silly". To which he replied, "Babe, those are EASTER EGGS!"

Needless to say we had lots of deviled eggs, lol. And an Easter morning spent hunting for eggs...in grocery stores. lol

My fav is cracking eggs into the bowl then throwing the shwll in too... of course the mixer is always running!
and then there was the time when i didnt have a toaster yet (just moved into my Apt as a single momma with a month old baby) anyways i was making waffles late one night in the oven on a cookie sheet and i took them out of the oven with my hand.. completely forgot the oven mitt.... ugh it was a terrible trip to the ER...
