I baked a birthday cake for a family member one year and forgot the sugar. We still ate it, just made sure that each bite contained plenty of ice cream!
Sorry to say that they continue to remind me about it with each birthday cake I bake. I provide plenty of laughs for this family!

This is a minor one, but funny and similar to your mishap. My poor little 4yo daughter was eating applesauce and wanted cinnamon on it. Naturally I grabbed the chili powder (powder looks identical and same label, same jar) and sprinkled it on her applesauce. She wanted to eat it but kept telling me it was spicy. Since she is often quite fickle, I kept telling her "oh stop. it's the same cinnamon we always use" This went on for a while until I agreed to taste it to prove her oh so wrong. Oooops!! Apple sauce in the trash. Big apology from mom. New bowl of applesauce with cinnamon in it. I read the jar 5 times to make sure!

Did you know that, in unlabeled jars, very hot chili powder looks remarkably like paprika?
But, um, the chili powder is used in VERY SMALL AMOUNTS, whereas paprika can be used liberally. Whoops! 
Needless to say, the main part of the meal was inedible.
Two good things have come out of this, though... my chili powder is now profusely labeled (HOT - and a picture of a campfire on it!)... and DH does the cooking!

Please read me...
Because this will make everyone feel better.
I pride myself on being a good cook...now...but 20 some odd years ago was a diffterent story.
I did the first ever roasted chicken dinner for the not yet DH. It was one of my favs as a kid, and hell, how hard can it be? You just stick the thing in the over and roast it...right?
Well who knew that you had to shove you hand up its cavity and remove that weird, half frozen package of parts? Not this young chickie.
So I just roasted it, sans removal of frozen parts. Needless to say the half cooked, finished product was NASTY!!! and I still get my ribbed about it by the DH....
YUK!!!
