Shouldn't have started baking at 2 am

Throw out new measuring spoons - they
were 1/2 TBSP, not 1/2 tsp.
Use different pans for baking cakes
and roasting meat.
I didn't realize that baking soda and baking powder had expiration dates. It's a wonder that I didn't ruin more cakes.
Some days it just doesn't pay to get out of bed!!!!
Thank you all. pal
Why would you throw out the measuring spoons ... I love my newer set with the 1/2 tbsp measure. You just need to read as you use them!
I suspect the main thing would be this tbsp/tsp problem that I suggested at the start.
Using after BBD doesn't mean for a disaster, though it might have affected things a tad. Likewise, many of us use nuts that have not been kept in the freezer ... it's just a precautionary! Also, in a perfect world, different pans for meat/baked goods, though again, many of us have not had disasters
Yes, all things have added up ... so now hope you will re-make your old favourite recipes and enjoy !
