Maybe you want to make up to your partner for something stupid you've done or maybe you're bored. It doesn't matter, you've found the perfect recipe and you're willing to commit the whole evening to making it a reality. Problem is, nothing is as deceiving as a recipe. Not even those icebergs that threatened the Titanic. I mean, that lasagna may look pretty in the pictures and the steps may sound so simple, anyone could do it but it couldn't be further from the truth. That, however, was enough to fool you and now you're as oblivious as the ship's captain, heading towards a disaster. A kitchen disaster.

Bored Panda has collected some of the funniest examples of food expectations vs. reality to make you feel like an iron chef. After all, we all need some encouragement. From stained glass cookies that look like they've just committed suicide to a rice bear that is more mummy than bear, these dishes make you wonder if someone was brave enough to eat them. Scroll down to take a look why sometimes it's better to simply order a pizza and vote for your funniest entries.

Honestly, what I don't get is these ones that don't follow the original AT ALL. What did you expect? The eyes are those bugged out ones that come in a bag and don't look anything like the original, the nose is upside down, the ears are chocolate chips instead of discs, the colors are inverted (or maybe it was decorated hot and the sugar melted into the cupcake?) and the mouth doesn't look anything like the original. I mean, if you're not skilled or don't have much practice, don't take these liberties or the result will be...what you see here...

The ones on the right look like they were made from ham. I would probably eat them and then be disappointed that they didn't taste like ham.

this happens with recipes that tell you to use tinned chickpeas and no flour or breadcrumbs. Use soaked raw chickpeas and add a teaspoon of flour to the batter and you will be successful

the problem with most of these is that the expectation pictures are made with fondant while people attempt the same thing with frosting. it just won't ever look as good/neat.

You could have used wrong rice paper, there are basically 2 types and also 'fake' ones which are smelly and very easy to tear.

if you're going to bake cupcakes without a muffin tin, you need to use the metal cupcake wrappers that are designed to be free-standing. (and even then you can't fill them too full, or they go pear-shaped. sometimes literally.)

If you coat the end of the stick in chocolate before you stick it into the cake balls, it tends to help it from falling out
