These people tried. They really tried.
"Here's my Halloween Pinterest fail."
—Haili Friedrich, Facebook
"I’m usually good at baking, but this time my cake just gave up AFTER I frosted it."
"My mom tried to make deviled egg chicks for Easter, as depicted in the first picture, but they turned out very wrong."
"This was when I tried to make rainbow cupcakes and accidentally used powdered sugar instead of flour. Six cups of sugar + zero cups of flour = a four-hour cleanup."
"This is from the time my mom insisted I make squirrels out of expired cut-and-bake Pillsbury dough."
"I tried to make this cake from a recipe I had never done before. It was the worst thing I ever made. The frosting was also too thick, so I couldn't spread it on the crumbled cake. I cried after I frosted it, but now when I see the cake I can't help but laugh."
"I spent waaaay too much time arranging those darn spiders."
—Haili Friedrich, Facebook
"My sister and I had been watching Cake Boss and decided we could handle making a TARDIS cake for the Doctor Who anniversary. It started melting almost instantly."
"We forgot to add flour to our cookies. We had everything sifted and ready to go, but we forgot to combine the dry ingredients and the wet ingredients! Don't ask me how, considering both my friend and I bake quite frequently and we were following a recipe that we had successfully made before."
"A lovely pizza made by my boyfriend."
—Rachel Veronesi and Nick Beatty, Facebook
“I had to write ‘pigs’ on it because it was not clear that these were pigs.”
“It takes talent to make a Pinterest-inspired cupcake turn out like what was made on the right. It was actually still raw, even after accidentally cooking it for 10 extra minutes, although it did explode everywhere.”
"They were supposed to be brownies that looked like mummies, but I don't even know what I ended up with."
“My girlfriend and I tried to make rainbow heart cookies. Oops.”
"My son had a unicorn-themed birthday party. Victory was ours!"
"Nailed it."
"I tried to make tea and ended up burning the pot."
