Cake Fails

[Barmaid]

This article had me laughing out loud this morning, so I thought I'd share it.

The one with the chocolate shards and the teeth nearly finished me.

Enjoy!!!

lol this reminds me of my pirate ship i made for my son many years ago not one person could see it was a ship ,another disaster was a 3 tiered strawberry and cream creation, the children carried it to their dad and it slid off the plate x

lol Mally... I once made pavlova for dinner party it slid off as I lifted it from fridge..so just mashed it up a bit more and called it Eton mess !! they never knew !

[Barmaid]

Eton Mess is always a saver for a dodgy pavlova. I am meant to be giving a "Pavlova Masterclass" to 3 local ladies soon. I think that could end in failure since I imagine much fizz will be consumed.

I had a Christmas cake fail a few years ago. I ordered Midnight Blue icing (was going to be midnight blue with silver stars). It turned up on Christmas Eve and it was BRIGHT NEON BLUE. I didn't have enough sugar to make some and I couldn't get out to the shops. So bright neon blue it was.

[Barmaid]

That's what Mr BM called it.

Mally gets BA for her very brave admission!

my dad once made a chicken pie..when mum was ill in bed.. well impressed mum asked how he managed it..well..he said..puff pastry was in the freezer and there was a tin of chicken chunks so just added a bit of gravy and a wee bit veg it was easy ! "chicken chunks ?" asked my mum..show me the tin... apparently whiskas chicken makes exceedingly good pies !! ABSOLUTELY TRUE !!

I once made a hedgehog cake using chocolate buttons. It actually looked really good and I was really proud of it, not being such a good baker. I was showing it off and it fell off the plate and smashed. Talk about pride going before a fall!

[murraymints]

Lol Milo..did you scrape it back up ?

[Barmaid]

Oh dear, Milo. I'd have been gutted.

I was once doing a layered hazelnut meringue. As I took one of the layers out of the oven, I dropped it on the floor. Mr BM couldn't stop laughing. I was furious with him.

[Milo2]

Minty, I did scrape it up but it was beyond redemption. I was gutted BM and like Mr BM, there were a few laughs - not by me though.

There are some hilarious ones here. The Disney one in the second link was a real LMAO.

[Barmaid]

That one had me laughing, Canary. Did they not think, just even a tiny bit "Those towers look like something, but I just cannot put my finger on it"?

BM - I thought most people used a hand not a finger. Absolutely priceless. I would have collapsed laughing in the kitchen.
