Embarrassing mistake; type of loaf (7)

I believe the answer is:

bloomer

(Other definitions for bloomer that I've seen before include "Large loaf; or, a mistake" , "Large slip" , "Stupid error (colloq.)" , "Something from the baker" , "A slangy blunder or flower in blossom" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
