Cooking can be a relaxing and meditative experience once you take the time to really get into it. Apart from being able to feed yourself, it also gives you the chance to bring people together and create new experiences for them through their taste buds.
Now, if committing mistakes in the kitchen is whatโs stopping you from pursuing cooking as a hobby, donโt worry. Despite what you think, youโre probably not that bad.
To help you feel much more confident in your skills, hereโs a collection of epic culinary fails.
1. The Hulk
This kid asked for a Hulk cake for his birthday. This was what his mom came up with. To be fair, she got the color right.


2. Tired Santa
This bread represents the way Santa looks the day after Christmas. His face looks like heโs been through a lot.


3. Cinnamon pear cake
At first glance, you wouldnโt think that the one at the bottom was a cake. It looks more like mud with a couple of rotten pears.


4. One huge cookie
This โtop chefโ decided to try his luck and bake some cookies. He got everything right except for proper spacing. He ended up with one huge cookie.


5. (Not) close enough
The baker probably didnโt have the book nearby when he made his cake. From the color to the shape, he got everything wrong.


6. Deceiving
This one actually tasted great despite its appearance. It simply proves that one shouldnโt judge a brownie by the way it looks.


7. A masterpiece
For most of us, this looks like a total failure. However, for the person who made it, the egg is certainly a masterpiece. No one else can do his version of the recipe.


8. A creepy pie
I think the second one looks better. It was able to capture that โhorrorโ factor.


9. Escape
Even the baby chickens couldnโt handle the end result. They look like they tried so hard to escape the oven but failed.


10. Expectation vs reality
These were supposed to look like bears. For some reason, they ended up looking like monsters. I hope the kids were still happy with them.


11. Not a cake
This doesnโt look like a cake. You see, it looks more like a piรฑata!


12. Too hot
So, this is probably what happens when you take Sponge Bob out of the ocean. Heโs barely recognizable when heโs on land.


13. Not cute
I feel sorry for the penguins in the bottom photo. They look like they got lost and found themselves stuck in a muddy area. Compared with the photo on top, they donโt look cute at all.


14. Awful idea
Without the label, you wouldnโt think that itโs a KitKat pizza. It looks more like a plant pot filled with mud. It doesnโt even look edible at first glance.


15. Mozzarella sticks
If you think cooking mozzarella sticks is easy, this photo will make you think twice. Youโll need a lot of practice if you want to make perfect mozzarella sticks.


16. The wedding cake
Thereโs a huge difference in color between these cakes. The baker probably didnโt pay close attention to the customersโ request. If this happened at my wedding, Iโd probably ask for a refund.


17. The Christmas tree cake
These cakes donโt look alike. The color, form, and even the decorations look too different. The baker probably had a different inspiration for this Christmas cake.


18. Croissant dragons
Even though the baker failed at perfecting his croissant dragons, he shouldnโt feel sad. He was still able to make a manatee-shaped snack. Thatโs what matters, right?


19. Nachos
This is what happens when you make a snack without checking if you have everything you need. The nachos look seriously sad without the jalapeรฑo slices, diced herbs, cheese, and mayo.


20. Macarons
Itโs hard to determine where the baker went wrong here. What she did donโt look like macarons at all. They look more like dried plums!


21. Hard life
Nobody gets to live an easy life. Even this Stitch looked like he went through a lot.


22. Almost
At first glance, youโd think that this baker nailed his melted snowman biscuits. However, if you take a closer look, youโd see something odd in the snowmenโs face. They look angry instead of happy.


23. Mirror glaze
The cake looks like an absolute disaster. Instead of a pretty cake, this baker ended up with what looks like a Petri dish.


24. The order vs what came
If this was a random cake made out of boredom, there wonโt be any issue. However, itโs a wedding cake. Itโs supposed to be the most beautiful cake for the bride and groom. Fortunately, the couple was able to get a refund and find a decent cake from a nearby bakery.


25. In a rush
It looks like someone forgot to order a cheese platter and just made one with random ingredients at the last minute. Itโs hard to feel the party vibe with this.


26. Quality over presentation
Even though the right one looks like a hot mess, its baker swore it tasted great. Itโs gooey and rich- just like how most people like their cinnamon rolls.


27. Sick deer
Those poor donuts look like theyโre super sick. Well, thatโs not surprising. If someone shoved meatballs into your mouth, youโd probably feel the same way.


28. His โbestโ
This manโs coffee art doesnโt look too horrible. In fact, itโs a bit cute. Even though he didnโt nail the dragon, he was able to draw a puppy. Or was it a kitten?


29. A big fail
Itโs hard to feel the Christmas spirit with this cake. It looks like a big pile of poo. I wonder why the baker gave up in the middle of decorating the cake. He clearly got the rings right.


30. Beware
It looks like this deer has been hit by a car. Itโs so deformed that even its eyes look bad. Iโd feel guilty about eating it.


31. A for patience
Even though this baker didnโt nail the exact recipe, his patience is still commendable. Not everyone has the determination to finish all these pieces.


32. Shortcut
The cake shop probably tried like a dozen times. When they realized they couldnโt do it, they gave up and just wrote the word โunicornโ on the cake.


33. Christmas cookie
The one on the right doesnโt look too bad. Letโs just say It actually looks cool because it has this stained glass effect.


34. Rainbow crepe cake
This is heartbreaking. I feel sorry for all those layers. They look like theyโre drowning!


35. A $100 cake
A woman wanted to surprise her partner with a $100 White Claw cake. When she saw the result, sheโs the one who was left speechless.


36. No skewers
This one is quite disturbing. You see, hangers arenโt supposed to be used when cooking. They are coated and they can be harmful if melted and ingested.


37. Making pasta
Ideally, you shouldnโt be using a coffee maker to make noodles. However, if youโre in your dorm and you have nothing else to use, it might work. You just have to prepare yourself for that unevenly cooked pasta.


38. A photo first
The most worrying thing about this photo isnโt the burning noodles. Itโs the fact that a photo was taken before the fire was put out.


39. Spinach baby
If youโre convincing your kids to eat more vegetables, then stay away from this recipe. Itโll give your kids something to fear for the rest of their lives. They probably wouldnโt go near spinach again.


40. Half
When this person asked her friend to peel half the potatoes in the bag, this was what her friend did. I guess this is why communication is extremely important in the kitchen.


41. The butter
Well, bread knives are meant to cut one thing and thatโs bread. A butter knife should have been used here.


42. Those eyes
This is one good reason why you should wait for your bread to completely cool down before putting the icing. If you put the icing while itโs still hot, the thing will just melt and slide off. Youโll end up with a derpy looking bread like this.


43. A snowman
The snowman couldnโt take the heat inside the oven. It melted even before it was able to get out.


44. Scary
This oneโs extremely terrifying. It looks like itโs been taken out straight from a horror movie. Why would anyone do something like this? Itโs baffling.


45. Renovation
His girlfriend asked him if he could renovate the kitchen and he said yes. This was what he came up with.


46. Cooking in college
Get a plate and use it when eating. That way, you can prevent this kind of disaster in your dorm.


47. First loaf
Despite how it looks, this isnโt a litter box. Itโs a bread maker with a gluten-free loaf in it.


48. At a kidโs birthday party
This cake wasnโt made for Halloween. A mom actually baked this for her kidโs birthday party. One kid started crying right after seeing it.


49. Oops!
This is a good reminder to always cut the ingredients first before cooking. That way, you wonโt have to worry about accidentally placing your cutting board on your stove while itโs still hot.


50. For the brave
They look a bit creepy. Only brave people will dare grab one of these.


51. Cookie cutters
Instead of a horse-shaped cookie, this one ended up looking like a buffalo. Itโs hard to say what triggered its transformation while inside the oven.


52. Oh, no!
The baker was probably in a hurry to get the cake done that he forgot the pan. It must have been painful for him to see his hard work end up like this.
