20 of the Worst and Most Disastrous Cake Fails Ever

Some people were born to bake. Others, however, were born to create disasters. So how do we find out which side of the spectrum we belong to? The answer is pretty simple: give baking a try!

Sure, baking can’t be that complicated, right? There are loads of recipes and instructions on the internet and all we have to do is follow them and we’re guaranteed to be rewarded with a scrumptious pastry treat. Besides, the photos that accompany the recipe looks just so inviting. And if those who took the photos were able to pull it off, why can’t we?

The thing is, what they don’t tell us in those recipes and food blogs is that expectations differ from reality – and that is a vital information that we must obtain before we even attempt to put on our chef hats.

We must not set our expectations too high so we won’t get too heartbroken when our baking masterpiece ends up looking like it was dug up from a six-foot, 16th-century grave. Well yes, we really mean the stuff of nightmares.

If you still don’t get what we mean, you might want to take a look at this compilation of baking disasters:
