I have overwhipped the egg white for my tres leches cake.
Even worse, I have run out of eggs.

I’ve made this tres leches cake at least 4 times this year, and it is excellent. Simple ingredients, easy instructions, and delicious. A real crowd pleaser, even for the non-tres leches fans in my family. Sadly, I whipped the egg whites a little too long this time, and am writing this from the passenger seat while my husband drives me to the store for more eggs. Bless him.
you’ve entered the egg-pocalypse, my friend. time to embrace the chaos and maybe invent a new dessert.

TRES leches? En esta economias?

i’m so sorry to suggest this: cloud eggs with a custard filling
had to double check, but if you already did the egg yolks and don’t have another solution, that feels like something that’s possible

I am sorry to say, but you must be egg-spelled from this group now!

Salt instead of sugar. Oh, fuck.

The recipe says to brown the butter. Then I turn away…

Forgot sugar. (When making a chocolate cake)

I didn’t know you could overwhip egg whites O.o you should make pavlovas with them!

Did you check the ingredients list? I have an allergy.

Burnt Basque Cheesecake isn’t actually supposed to be burnt.

Did you walk away from the mixer? That is waaaaaaay over whipped.

“What timer?” My least favorite when I ask my husband to set it one and he in fact did not 😅

Knocked over my freshly squeezed lemon juice. Had no more lemons.

Making a chocolate cake on Christmas morning. I realize, too late, that I added baking soda instead of baking powder.

Over whipped the mascarpone cheese.

I picked up the salt container instead of the sugar.
I used my expensive butter in those cookies.

So my husband used powdered sugar in his baked mac and cheese instead of flour. Weirdly turned out alright.
Couldn’t believe it, but he thought the slightly sweet aftertaste was something (I think hot sauce because he wanted it to have a little zing) caramelizing when it was baked. Should have seen his face when he pulled it out of the pantry and I’m like, oh that’s the powdered sugar.

There’s a subreddit for that, r/ididnthaveeggs, those are some baking horror stories

I’d still make the tres leches. It might not be as good as it could be, but it won’t be bad.

If it makes you feel better, I messed up frosting on a cake yesterday and had to go to the store for more icing sugar and butter. I finished it at the same time as my friend showed up to pick it up.

I made donuts. Wanted to dip them in powdered sugar after they were done. Used raw flour instead… don’t drink a bottle of wine while baking.

Jk OP, sorry for your loss. I spent a few weeks experimenting with angel food cake and over whipping is the worst
