We ordered a store-bought cake when my mom received her masters degree in writing. As we were putting the candles on, we realized it read "Congrulations!". We decided the misspelling was highly appropriate for the celebration...

i completely botched a pineapple upside down cake. too much butter and too much pineapple led to a buttery pineapple mess... too bad cause i know its a good recipe.

I don't bake, baking scares me. One time in high school I decided to overcome this fear and suprise my mother with a pan of brownies. I hate nuts in my desserts, but she loves them so I figured I'd take one for the team and throw in the bag of walnut pieces I found in the back of the pantry. Well, she takes one bite and makes this face because apparently the nuts were rotten and the whole pan of brownies was ruined. I still don't trust nuts in baked goods and haven't thought twice about baking something since then.

My most recent baking mistake: Making oatmeal chocolate chip cookies and forgetting the oatmeal. It took an embarrassingly long time to figure out what was missing!
Not baking, per say, but the olive oil story reminded me of a time when I tried to make Annie's mac and cheese without butter. I substituted EVOO instead thinking it would taste the same (stupid). It was hands down the most disgusting pasta I've ever had.

Cakes and dogs--never a good combination. How many of us have left the celebratory creation just a tad too close to the edge of the counter, only to come home from the big meal out, mouths set for sugar, to discover that fido has once again proven his real reason for being, i.e., to grab all the available food whenever you're not looking?

French Bread. It never rose, it smelled weird and ended up baking into a puddle. Ate it anyway.

Anything I bake is probably a disaster, but that I why I let my wife do all the baking.
