'My dough turned into a monster': 20 Baking mistakes fresh out of the oven

How often do you accidentally ruin your desserts? No matter how skilled you are as a chef or baker, there are going to be times that you totally mess up your recipe. For example, one person here forgot to label their flour and powdered sugar (although they taste and smell very different!). Their recipe got completely sabotaged because of this… and they aren't the only ones!

It's easy to mess up if you're baking while you're tired or out of it. You start wondering if you added three cups of flour or four. Your loaf of bread will only taste good if you get it right, so that question is the difference between having a delectable loaf of bread or a big mess to clean up. You can check out a bunch of baking fails below, like one person who tried to make macaroon turtles! They're so ugly/cute!

Up next, these bosses had some utterly ridiculous requests for their employees, like one manager who "asked me if he could borrow $1,000."

How? How? How does this happen?

Yes, I checked the comments and no one seems to know. The original poster, u/Ok_Personality_1080, reports that this still tasted good when dipped in frosting. I fear this only produces more questions on our end! But I'm happy that they were able to salvage their disappearing cupcakes.

They're still turtles, but they're just partially submerged in an algae-filled pond!
