"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."

5. These possessed chicks:

"Last year, I submitted my mom's messed-up deviled egg chicks for the worst cooking fails, and it was featured in the worst-of-2016 roundup. She attempted them again this year to no avail."
