My oven gave out 20 minutes into a birthday cake for my kid, here's the whole mess
Last Saturday I had one job: a two layer funfetti cake for my daughter's 6th birthday, and the bottom heating element died with the batter already in the pan. The top baked while the middle stayed raw soup, so I had to pull it, scoop the goo into muffin tins, and call it "birthday cupcakes" to 14 kids who did not care at all. What's your go to backup plan when the oven quits on the same day you actually need it?
