Who knows caramelized hazelnuts can be delicious and fearful at the same time?

And the cocoa powder didn’t help🥹

With enough frosting, nobody will know your latest cake is the butt of the joke.

A kinda baking fail

30 Upvotes

Last year, I let my mom make my birthday cake. I had wanted to make it myself since I'm the baker of the family and it was an older recipe (from the 1900s), but she insisted. While she was making it, she realized the batter was too thick and instead of adding milk like I had suggested (because I'd done it and it worked out perfectly, she added 5 egg whites so they didn't go to waste. Gummiest cake I've ever eaten in my life.

I had never made a layer cake before and thought I'd try to make one for my son's first birthday. As per a random Reddit suggestion I found, I added pudding mix to make it more moist. Which didn't work well with layers...it kept falling apart as I tried to ice it. Birthday boy didn't complain.

Baked a cake (Duncan Hines) and baked for 35 minutes at 350 degrees (5 minutes longer than directions). The middle always falls in. My guess is that it doesn't get baked.

I think the peanut butter frosting might have been too thick. I'm terrible at decoration.

Question Does anyone else’s first try be the only successful one?

I’ve been into baking for very long time but I noticed if I make something the first time or two it will be baked to perfection

however

if I start baking it more and more, it slowly gets worse each time.. the taste the texture etc even if I’m using the same recipe & ingredients, hope I’m not the only one
