Ok, so disaster might be a bit strong, but I'm panicking!
I've just started baking cupcakes for a party tomorrow, went to get the box of eggs that I bought yesterday (best before 31st July), and at least 1 was cracked and had gone rotten.....only knew this when I went to take it out of the box and only got the top of the egg!
Needless to say, that one, and the others glued to the box with off egg white, have been binned. But there were still several uncracked eggs that I assumed would be ok. I didn't do the float test and used two in the first batch of cupcakes. I did wash the eggs before using them to make sure nothing nasty was on the shells.
I've gone to make batter for the second batch and one of the eggs, well the inside of the shell smelled ever so slightly odd. The second egg was the same. Maybe I'm just paranoid but I've binned the rest of the eggs and am getting hubby to bring more home with him!
My question is.....will the cupcakes I've already made be ok to eat? They were baked for 30 mins at 150c (not sure what that is in Fahrenheit!), so any nasties should be killed off....but I couldn't live with myself if I gave anyone food poisoning!
Going back to scrubbing my kitchen now.....
