30 Epic Baking Fails During Quarantine Shared By People

"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?"

"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"

"help my cookies are not social distancing"

"My sister-in-law forgot to put flour in her cookie dough and I can’t stop laughing"

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

A true example of "Epextecation vs reality"

"Perhaps baking isn’t for me"

"My wife has started baking. And now we know why she doesn’t normally bake cakes."

“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

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.

"As failed as my bunnies?"

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..

"Sorry I haven’t posted in a while; I’ve been baking"

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

Sweet f’n dreams people!!

A bit too much of baking soda

He’s baaaaaa-ck! 3. Oh no!! 4. Sleepy sheepy

"I tried to make pretzels and they went MUTANT "

"I made banana bread. I followed the recipe exactly ish, but it failed .."

"I think I made the peanut butter cookies a bit too big."

"This is why I’m a scientist. In case you were wondering this cake doesn’t taste good either. Think I’ll keep supporting local bakers and find a new  quarantine hobby to try."

"Tried out my 30 year old bread making machine today. Didn’t go well"

"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"

"Tried putting cilantro in my cookie today while baking"
