second pic for the reference🥲 they turned out so ugly but also so damn good of my god. they were the softest tastiest best baked creations ever made (by me) but of my god they were monstrous

I attempted a peach tart using white peaches, but I must have poached them too long because once peeled they looked almost exactly like raw chicken breasts. It was so uncanny I could not stop cracking up.

A raspberry custard and cream pie with saltine cracker crust. The crust fell apart the moment I poured the custard on it, resulting in a pie with a weirdly sweet yet soggy cracker filling through-and-through. No custard remained after baking. The bottom crust was completely destroyed. I’m not sure if it’s possible to make a saltine crust with a runny filling like this 😀 The jam was good though.

Firstly, the dough didn’t even rise and that should’ve been my sign to make something else. But nooooo I stood my ground and stubbornly kept going 😭 I think I somehow killed the yeast but I’m not sure. They actually tasted really good but they were slightly raw on the inside so I had to throw them out 😔. Ig I should learn how to perfect my cakes first then turn to making smth else

I feel like puking

What the fuck is happening

How

My tank is entirely covered in mosquito net

I baked my Banana bread 3 hours ago, directly put it in the freezer once cooked, i didn't let it rest anywhere

Just how the fuck

I am beyond disgusted, how can this even happen

I felt something crunchy while eating, I puked it and looked at it

I thought it was a cockroach or something, but no, one of my C. Splendidus instead

I don't know what to do anymore ffs, I feel sad and disgust of having beaten in one of my millipedes at the same time

I honestly have no freaking idea how he got there, I don't even know what to feel

Hi everyone! I attempted a lemon curd tart and I think I added too much butter to the pastry. It is super rich. And the curd itself didn't set in the fridge so its more of a custard-y consistency?? Is there anything I can do to fix it, or any other recipes I can incorporate this batch into so that it doesn't go to waste?? Any advice is appreciated

EDIT: Here's the recipe if it helps Curd recipe followed exactly: 2 large eggs plus 2 egg yolks (or 3 whole eggs) ¾ cup granulated sugar 1 tablespoon lemon zest ½ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice ½ cup (1 stick/115 g) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces (I used salted because thats all I have)

I cooked it on the stove for about 15 minutes until it thickened. The recipe said it takes 10 minutes to thicken. I thought it would set in the fridge like the recipe said but I guess not😭

Crust: 2 cups all-purpose flour ¼ teaspoon salt ¼ cup powdered sugar ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter 1 large egg 4 to 6 tablespoons milk

I estimated the amount of butter, I probably added closer to 1 cup😭 and then added more flour to try and compensate for wetness of the dough

my 2nd attempt at making a bag*ette. the 2nd image was my 1st attempt. I’m usually a good baker but my first attempt was just a bit dense so I decided to experiment. My biggest cooking fail ever. might just be the worst baking on this sub. spend laughing at it for straight 40 min 😭 anyone has any suggestions as to what to do with an extremely soupy 3kg dough

Ginger ale can for scale 😭

Please roast my fail

Could it be that the browned butter mixture wasn’t mixed into the rest of the batter throughly enough? It’s hard to tell when “just combined”is combined enough.

I’m also not great at knowing when the eggs have “tripled in volume” so I feel that they may have been under whipped before adding in the flour.
