Cut them up post bake when they’re still a little soft. Or if they’re a little hard crumble them up into large chunks and sprinkle on ice cream. Nom.

My make-shift attempt at making a bunny failed me, but I think I baked a fat cat instead?

So...this looked to be baking perfectly and happily in the oven...this was the surprise on the other side

“Ummm....are the cinnamon buns supposed to try and escape from the pan?

Baking fail. My macarons exploded and didn’t grow feet.
I’m pretty sure it had to do with my almond flour. I made my own and I think it was too moist. I haven’t been able to find ready made almond flour but almonds are readily available. I’m gonna try again

In my attempt at making pizza, i discovered my yeast had expired in 2010. And the supermarkets had ran out of yeast. Then I read about making yeast from dried fruit. I used dried longan and here is an interesting outcome. The dough was stretchy and after baking, I ended up with a very pleasant tasting crispy and slightly chewy sweetish flatbread. It went really well with crunchy peanut butter

Or make a sourdough starter. You won't get your pizza for a week, but it'll be awesome.

Sadly my challahday easter bunny didn't quite work out. Seems to have come down with some hip dysplasia, ear disconnection, and a touch of elephantiasis in the oven... I think the main culprits here were uneven working of the various strands, slight underproofing, and perhaps some rusty baking skills. Next time..

I tried to make pretzels and they went MUTANT

i am normally a good baker. i found a recipe for egg custard pie. i told my husband 2 go 2 the store to get the ingredients (only 1 person per family is allowed in the store and i cannot be trusted because i come home with a whole bunch of junk food lol). 1 of the ingredients were pie crust, i told him the pie crust are in the refrigerated section near the eggs and where the cookie dough is. he came home with pie crust from the freezer in a pie plate already....i have never seen these in my life and the pie dish was not deep. this was the outcome of using pie crust i have never made before. apparently the egg custard somehow got under the pie crusts while baking, and that big bubble in the middle is the pie crust

Lesson 1. Make your own pie crust. Lesson 2. Pastry formula: half fat to flour. EG. 8 oz flour 4 oz fat. Lesson 3. Use butter, freeze it, grate it into the flour, cut together with a butter knife, add COLD water( 1/4 to 1/2 a cup) gradually, stirring gently until dough comes together, leave in fridge for 30 mins before rolling out (this lets the gluten in the flour relax and stops the pastry being tough) Enjoy

This are the kind of pictures that you just keep laughing at even though you can’t figure out what exactly is so funny about them.

This was my first attempt in making resurrection rolls. While it was a very good lesson for the kids, they didn’t turn out like they were supposed to

Too much moisture which was why they flattened out and you cooked them on too high a temperature.

Lots of people not watching their bakes and cooking them on too high temperatures.

What I learned today is: take a pic of everything you cook in the oven before, just in case. At least I'll have an evidence of what I tried to do :)

Qq123123, but you can't find the decency to use proper grammar when telling us about a job? Scam.

I am sitting here laughing at these while knowing that if I were to try ANY of these the results would be as bad or much, much worse ☺.
