More of us are cooking or baking at home right now, and we’re not all…great at it. But, as they say, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and the path toward edible creations starts with some baking abominations.
Lucky for us, a lot of people have a good enough sense of humor about it to post their culinary misadventures publicly that we may revel in the failure together. Here are a few great examples.
12. It’s trying to escape
11. Cooking makes me pretty p*oped
This was supposed to be a nice, neat, braided circle of chocolate, caramel, and banana filled chocolate yeast bread, but the strands all burst and it ended up looking like a pan of Sasquatch feces. Tasted ok, though ? pic.twitter.com/gRv9PmyUjn

10. I um…see the light?
#StayAtHome & be productive.
I’m not much of a baker. I can cook alright, but baking…not so much. So, today I tried my hand at some lighthouse cookies, since I’m from Florida.
How do you think they turned out? pic.twitter.com/kKmB07XPmB

5. Festering frosting

4. Burninate
Quarantine baking Take One. Half of the cookies are burnt, half are raw, and the fire alarm is going off.
Lessons for the future.
1) My fire alarm works well
2) My neighbours are alert
3) My baking skills can only improve from here. Good thing I didn’t start with bread. pic.twitter.com/LU73Vp2u6f— Scott Searle (He/His) (@scottsearle) March 30, 2020
3. These look like ancient symbols

2. Don’t trust the crust
1. At least they’re smiling?

It’s good to try new things. It’s good to be bad at those things for a while. If you like it, keep at it. And keep sharing the failures, cause they’re really funny.
