#Quarantine Edition: Hilarious Baking Fails

So if one these home-bakers, responsible for one of the entries below, is at the same time one of the panic buyers that bought a dozen, dozen of eggs – at least now they have both the times, and the spare eggs to improve their baking skills. Because they need it. How badly they need it? Well have you baked anything that grew a tentacle? MORE THAN ONE of these people did!

Well, baking sure is soothing. And now, with the lockdowns and quarantines due to the COVID-19 outbreak, we all have spare time on our hands. Many of us took up projects and hobbies that we have been talking about taking up, for a long time. One of them sure is baking. We don’t know if the bakers responsible for the entries of this article just took up baking – it sure seems that way though…

Stay Safe, Bake on, Enjoy!

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

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

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..

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

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
