To serve a cake when I've scraped the mixture off the floor

So baby was screaming and I'm pretty tired, and I dropped the tin on the kitchen floor just before it went in the oven. Just spooned it back in and stuck it in the oven... I mopped last night and the cake will bake at 160 c for 50 mins. AIBU to serve to my guests due in 30 mins?

I would serve it to my ex husband

Actually would eat it myself Blush

May I use this opportunity to make a confession?
Many moons ago I was making a fry up for now exh. A sausage flew from the pan into the cat litter tray...
I popped it back into the frying pan and served it up.
Guess I knew he would turn out to be a twat.

I mean I would have just binned it. Or maybe tried to salvage some of the mixture that hadn't actually touched the floor.

Sure, the oven will kill any germs, but it's still dirty. And that dirt is going to stick to a sticky cake mixture. Even you're houseproud your floor is going to have much more dirt on it than your cake tin or worktops.

I once dropped an entire pasta bake on the floor, scraped up what I could, removed the cat hair and served it but it was only for my husband and I. I wouldn’t serve floor cake to guests. Besides the hygiene situation it’s just impolite.
