Eye Of Sauron Salted Caramel Cheesecake
Perfect for when your hosting a Lord of the Rings movie marathon. One cake to rule them all!
It still probably tasted great. Next time mix one packet of plain gelatin per pound of cream cheese before baking. It really helps prevent splitting and results in a nice smooth texture. Just, y'know, mix it really well.
The trick to a non-cracked cheesecake is taking it out of the oven when you're ready to turn the heat off, running a knife around the outter edge, and then putting it back in the oven to set for 90 minutes for a slow cool down like you'd normally do. The reason it cracks is because when it contracts when cooling, it pulls on itself and if it's stuck to the side, it'll crack.
I'd still eat it. Dangle caramel cheesecake in front of me, and I won't care if it looks like dog doo.
Caramel cheesecake!? Why have I never heard of this? It sounds delicious!
Three cakes for the Elven-kings under the sky, Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone, Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die, One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie. One cake to rule them all, One cake to find them, One cake to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
C**p lol. I didn't realize that was the title, I'm dead

I Turned Rosemary And Garlic Potatoes Into Expensive Charcoal Brickettes
Abt's. Grease Fire That Got Out Of Control. I Think They Are Done
Looks The Same, Tastes Very Different!
Oh no... You didn't smell the difference? I mean, they're both very fragrant and dissimilar. Well, my sister once made a pan of cumin rolls so I guess it's more common than I realized.
Shrimp & Sausage Queso; It Was Still Edible But It Was So Thick We Couldn't Scoop It Up With The Chips. Indeeded Up Turning It Into Mac&cheese Instead Lol
Attempted To Make Salted Caramel Brownies. Caramel Sauce Was Added On Top Way Too Soon And Basically Became The World's Hardest Toffee It Tasted Decent But That Crust Was A Literal Pain To Bite Through
I'm sorry, but that still looks amazing and I would eat the Hell out of that.
Italian Wedding Cookies That Melted Immediately
Too much butter/lard/oil and needs a bit more chilling before the bake. I bet it cut apart into flat bars just fine.
Baking With Celiac Can Be Fun. Gluten Free Doughnuts Before Frying. Delicious Anyway
The taste is what's most important. It looks like you managed to get a decent rise, which is hard without gluten.
Mango Squares - Tasted Like Eggs 😭
I Don't Even Remember What This Was Supposed To Be 💀
Cake Turned Out Fine, But It Spilled Into The Oven While Baking. House And I Smelled Like Burnt Cake For Days
Made this to celebrate the 11th year of my mom being free from my dad. I'm not the best at frosting and decorating cakes, but it tasted good. I think the original cake recipe called for 9 inch pans, but I used 8 inch, not realizing. Oh well, you live, you learn
Green Walnut Jam :)) It Was Still Edible, But It Was Very Liquid (No Consistency)
It looks like the ingredients didn't get cooked lol I would recommend turning the oven on
I once tried to make a fruit cake. It said to add the whisked eggs while the mixture was warm. It was too hot, the eggs scrambled and then the whole thing turned to toffee. Didn't bake another cake for 30 years.
What a sad story. Remember if at first you don't succeed find another recipe.

Just a few days ago I made my first ever loaf of banana bread. I followed the instructions to the letter, but it came out dense and gummy. The trash can smells delicious right now though 🤣
Probably overmixed. Quick breads like banana bread need to be barely mixed together like pancake batter.

Why is this a challenge? I swear I made it an ask pandas
I accidentally put in taco seasoning instead of cinnamon into an apple crisp. It was for my dad's birthday and we couldn't remake it for another month or so. My sister once accidentally put in a cup of salt instead of a teaspoon in sugar cookies. No amount of extra sugar could make them edible.
Once made the common mistake of mixing up baking soda and baking powder. Made the Nightmare Cake (my family named it that) my dad tried it and literally had to chug from the milk carton then threw up in the sick it was so bad tasting. It took me a year before I baked again
Learned to always label containers because, although I can *usually* keep track of everything in my kitchen, there comes a point where my brain hits critical mass and I mistake the powdered sugar for flour...that was the hardest batch of cinnamon rolls I ever tried to roll out. They just WOULD NOT cooperate. It wasn't til I put them in the oven and watched them melt that I realized that it was sugar I was working by hand, and not flour. Stress from over work does wild things to the brain. Hella proud I was able to force them into submission and get a good roll before they went into the oven tho.
I marinated shrimp in white wine vs. deglazing the pan with it. It wasn't edible and kinda turned me against cooking shrimp. I've learned what it means to deglaze a pan in the 20 years since... Beer, wine, garlic soy, meat or veggie broth. I'm going to make some gumbo with shrimp and sausage next week. I'm hoping to redeem myself ;)
I tried my luck with a poke cake, not doing that ever again 😭 Directions just sucked on box.
I have never used written directions for a poke cake. I just make a 9x13 pan cake, let it cool, poke holes all over the top going down to the bottom of the pan for most of them,. Then slowly pouring in liquid jello or sweetened condensed milk, taking breaks to let it soak in and then chilling it overnight. Were your directions different?
Load More Replies... I managed to screw up Bisquick biscuits earlier today. They were too dry and they came out thick and heavy instead of fluffy.
My mom once mixed up sugar and salt and the cake was rancid🤢.
Don't remember what I was making but I remember the recipe called for 4 cloves of garlic I had just pulled 5 sixteen hour days in a row and my brain saw 4 bulbs of garlic. They say you can never have too much garlic I found out that day you definitely can have too much garlic in a recipe. LOL
Not my fail but my dad's He tried to make tuna noodle casserole but used cheezits in place of potato chips 🤦♀️ i had to explain that noodles were what replaced potatochips Also cooked cheezits are DISGUSTING now i cant even eat them xD
I'd say the worst cooking attempt I ever had was when I tried making a Japanese styled curry with some Golden Curry mix that I purchased from a Japanese grocery store. It was intended to go over a bed of rice, and the curry mix was to be cooked with onions, carrots, potatoes, and beef. I put in too much water, and made a curry soup instead, rather than having a sauce like consistency. Live and learn.
All ya'll, take cooking classes! Read the dawn recipes 😋
