To have scooped cake batter off the floor, baked it and eaten it?

[Imhavingmycakeandeatingit]

Really fancied a treat.
I'd walked loads with baby today.
We had nothing in the house otherwise sweet.

I had a Betty Crocker rainbow muffin mix calling to me from the cupboard...

Luckily I had MILs muffin cases she no longer wanted...she never bakes...
By the time I was ready to put them in the oven the paper cases just flopped and batter started going all over the baking tray.

I ran to get some tin foil to make foil cases or a foil buttress if you like... it did work until I raised the tin up to put it in the oven, slipped out if my hands and landed on the floor upside down!

Fuck it I thought, it's going to be baked at 160C so that'll kill anything right?!

Scooped it off the floor and into an ungreased cake pan and then squeezed all remaining batter from each case into the pile of unbaked cake goo and baked the lot.

Unfortunately I couldn't get it out of the pan this evening once baby was asleep, so I've literally torn it out of the pan with my bear hands and lobbed it onto a plate in a pile of broken cake.

It is literally the best cake I've ever tasted... I'm going to die tomorrow aren't I?!

YABU - That's disgusting and bordering on feral

YANBU - You enjoy your cake I'd have done the same.

I feel your username isn't telling the whole story, shouldn't it be "Imscrapingmycakeoffthefloorandeatingit".

I love this thread 😂

OP - are you me?

I absolutely would have done the same. In fact it reminds me of my Home Economics O Level practical (I am old!!). I was rushing to get the meal I had cooked plated up. If you didn't get it served up in the allocated time, you didn't receive any marks and I was short if time so I didn't bother going to get a colander out to strain the potatoes. I just tipped the water out of the pan whilst using the lid to trap the potatoes. Sadly the lid slipped and to my horror, the potatoes fell into a sink full of soapy washing up water. The examiner was at the other end of the room and hadn't seen what had happened, so acting with great presence of mind, I scooped them out of the water, rinsed them under the hot tap and plonked them on the plate and got my meal to the table on time. The examiner went round tasting all of the meals and didn't keel over when she tasted mine, so it can't have been that bad. Plus I got a B so it was all Good in the end!
