So many errors, oh my.

I actually went through with making the strawberry short cake with the store bought strawberries, but so many errors were made, such as:

1) When i first cut up the strawberries, i was missing the heavy cream so the strawberries were in the fridge for a few days.

2) the recipe called for three tablespoons of sugar to be poured onto the strawberries and then the other two tablespoons would be used in the mix. But the recipe itself said 5 tablespoons sugar and then 2 tablespoons would be used later, so i didn't know if i should put five or three tablespoons sugar in with the strawberries but in the end, i did.

3) I used 1 1/2 cups heavy cream in the mix, but then when the mixture kept getting tangled etc, my mom added the rest of the heavy cream.

4) I added a cup of water hoping it would relax the mix but it just made it messier.

5) My mom threw out the all purpose flour so i had to use the flour used to make bread and thats how the mix ended up looking like.

6) the recipe said to cook the shortcake for 18-20 minutes, so i timed it for 19  minutes, but it wasnt even close to being done, so i had to put the mixture in for longer on a higher temperature.

7) the recipe said for the pan to be ungreased, and my mom put the cooking spray in.

8) i didn't have enough heavy cream to make the whipped cream or any lemon, so i used the buttercream frosting that i had in my fridge.
