Well this cooking story wasn’t funny at the time, but it’s funny now. My son had asked me to bake 24 cupcakes for his 6th grade class (many years ago), I don’t remember the occassion but what I do remember is making the cupcake batter and frosting from scratch because I had not been given enough notice in advance to buy the mixes at the grocery store-you know how it is. Kids ask you to bake something for their class the night before they need it! The not-so-funny part at the time was confusing baking powder for baking soda and salt for sugar. I use to keep these baking supplies in canisters and got them confused. Needless to say, there were a lot of 6th graders running to the bathroom that afternoon!

I see three. Under baking supplies there is a red one and baking kits a brown and blue one. I hope this is right.
Well there is a red mixing bowl on the homepage under baking supplies, but the large mixing bowl in the big picture is clear. Thanks for the opportunity.
I see a big red bowl! Thanks for the chance to enter!
Funny experience…I tried to bake my dad a cake years ago, and switched up baking powder and baking soda (without realizing). Even though the cake looked a little funny, I went ahead and iced it. When we went to cut it-it was like a brick. The whole thing had to go straight to the trash!
RED! My story follows.
I needed one stick of butter, and sent my son next door to the old woman who lives there. He came back with a stick of butter in a box that had held 3 other sticks. I made the frosting for a cake I was bringing that night to a potluck. I tasted the frosting, and it was AWFUL!!! I couldn’t even imagine what went wrong…until I dug through the garbage and saw the date on the butter box…..1996!!!! 13-year-old butter!
There is a red, blue and green mixing bowl all the same size – BIG:)

I went to a party and brought delicious looking chocolate frosted cookies. The problem was I forgot to put sugar in the cookie dough and I wondered why people were taking one bite and putting them down. I tasted one and it was like a frosted piece of dough!

I’m not much of a cook, but hope my children end up a little better off than I am. One day fairly recently I was talking to a friend about how I am not much of a cook as well. My kids were playing in the playroom nearby. My youngest daughter, 3, said “Sure you cook good! You make the best Rice Krispies ever!” I had to laugh that Rice Krispies was the best she could come up with – what a sweetie!

Well, the funniest kitchen incident or cooking story was when my daughter was refusing to drink milk so we would mix chocolate Ovaltine in her milk so she wouldn’t think it was milk. One day I threw the spoonful of ovaltine into the milk and then turned around the put the milk carton back in the fridge. I turned back to the cup and was greeted with a cup of milk thrown all over me. My 2-year-old decided to stir it for mommy and ended up knocking most of it onto my shirt and jeans. That was not so much fun at the time, but is making me smile thinking about the look on her face now.:)
The biggest bowl is red! =)
Hopefully this is not a trick question as there is a red mixing pitcher and the little girl is handling a clear mixing bowl.
The bowl is red. Thanks for the chance.

My brother and I made a seven course meal for my parents once…it was a lot of fun!
Big RED mixing bowl.
Here’s my funny kitchen (almost) mishap story. I eat microwaved oatmeal for breakfast and always add cinnamon to the bowl before I microwave the oatmeal and water. Once about 5 AM I was getting my breakfast ready. I grabbed a jar from the spice rack to add the cinnamon, half-awake. I suddenly thought: wouldn’t it be funny if I grabbed the chili powder jar instead of the cinnamon? (Both looked exactly alike, except for the label.) I looked at the spice jar label and that was exactly what I had done! Thankfully, I noticed it before I added it to the water and oatmeal mixture in the bowl. The moral of this story is: be fully awake before you microwave your oatmeal! LOL!
Funny story: About 20 years ago I decided to make my first turkey. I had no idea what I was doing. I didn’t find out that I had cooked my turkey upside down until my brother went to carve the turkey and asked why the top of the top turkey wasn’t browned. However, that was one the moistest turkeys I have ever had….LOL!

The biggest mixing bowls are red, green or blue. I love nothing more than bakling with children. I did it with my classes as a special ed teacher. I did it with my two daughters and I am looking ahead to baking with my granddaughter in a few years. She is due 6/22/09. I am excited by the possibilities. Thanks!

red bowl in the “baking supplies” section. And the earliest baking mishap I can remember is at overnight camp, when my best friend and I didn’t realize the difference between baking soda and baking powder and made little round hockey pucks as part of dinner. We had a good time, though.
