I want to hear all the baking stories! Funny fails, amazing turnouts and even recipes if you're ambitious

Honestly? Okay, here goes😂

So, once I was preparing a three-course meal. The main course, Cheesy Herby Macaroni, was very bad compared to the nachos and jelly (though looking back, the jelly was probably the worst. The funny thing is, I forgot to put cheese in what was supposed to be a cheesy herby Macaroni😂😂

I love baking, but my brother's a bigger baker than I am. I've told him he's going to own a bakery one day, and I'm not sure what he thinks about the idea

We bake all the time at my house. My sister will do more of the baking parts, and I will do most of the decorating. In fact, I won an award for one of my Christmas cookies in December! It was "Most likely to be on Pinterest" lol

Wow, it must have been really good!

I bake all the time! Desserts are my thing. I make the BEST brownies and cheesecake. Ahhh I love baking! I cook also, but my parents take charge of that most of the time.

I have my own private baking business, and one time I was due for a dessert. The dessert required sweetened condensed milk, which we were out of. I found a recipe online for making it homemade. I tried it, but it boiled over twice. Ugh, that was really fun.

Improvisation!

It is my favorite! I have been perfecting this cookie recipe that I found

Ahh cool! I have THE BEST brownie recipe that is just chefs kiss. Aka, enemies to lovers in food form lol

Can you share the recipe? If not that totally fine!

Maura sold a cake today for $90. It was like an applesauce spice cake and it was really good but the judge only gave her a blue ribbon because her recipe card wasnt typed. Like, she said the cake was amazing, but she wanted the card typed. That was it! Best cake there and she cant even get an honorable mention because her recipe card wasnt typed.

awww sorry Maura!

Lockdown actually brought out the cook(baker😉) in us...
Even I did some baking with my mum!!🙌
For all our lockdown festivities we baked different cakes🍰🧁and I enjoyed baking as well as eating them😁😋

Yessss. I like baking cookies just to sneak down some cookie dough. (I know, not good for me, but still)

I do the exact same thing. Cookie dough taste's better then baked cookies in my opinion if it's not an edible cookie dough recipe.

Over lockdown, we made raspberry cream cheese macarons and they were amazing! It was the first time we had ever made them, and most of them turned out great!

Ahhh that’s amazing. I tried making lemon macaroons over quarantine but it didn’t work! Maybe it was just the recipe I was using….

Ooh I’d love to make macrarons!

Yum!!

Funny, I want homemade chocolate chip cookies!!!!!!!!!

I love to bake, I do it as often as I can, but a problem I have in my family is that no one eats what I bake haha. Like we taste it once or twice but then we just forget about it. Does anyone have an idea of what I can do so that I don’t have to throw anything away?😂

haha! Ummmm…maybe servey what they’d like?

My best friend and I are going to make pumpkin cheesecake macarons for my birthday. Praying they turn out good!

how about taking them to school? then you can eat them with your driends

i used to bake a lot but haven't recently, mainly because every cake that i've done this year has ended with me having a breakdown because something's gone wrong, everyone reassures me that it's fine but i always mess it up in some way then have to waste time fixing it

i had to bake blueberry muffins for chemistry and they actually turned out delicious lol
