You saw the inspiration on Instagram or that 'Birthday Goals' board on Pinterest. Seeing it and believing you can make it, you've got the ingredients, and you're ready to go! It can't be that hard, surely? Here are the baking disasters that are painful to look at. 

Fail #1

Where do we start? What happened to the rainbow and why does it look like some disaster you'd see in a hospital? Happy Halloween, guys! No one was harmed during the process of making this crepe cake, just our eyes.

Fail #2

It's gone from super cute Easter treat to disastrous distressed birds which appear to be fighting for their life. Either that or they've applied too much blusher and become a little flustered. You can't deny that this isn't funny though, classic! 

Fail #3

This baker forgot to add flour ingredients to their cookies. Everything was sifted and ready to go, but the dry ingredients weren't combined, so here's the result. Gorgeous gloopy mixture with rabbit droppings! This is why you choose Gookie Dough without fail. 

Fail #4

The picture on the cake mix packet vs the result. Red velvet yet there is hardly any red? We're a little confused whether this person was supposed to put the icing mixture within the cake because to us, it doesn't seem to make sense. I guess certain people shouldn't bake!

Fail #5

Cooking takes time and patience, but this person apparently had a lot of time on his hands or got distracted and went to Mars and back before taking the pizza out. What a waste, we're very sad over this. However, at least there is an excuse for takeaway! 

Had any baking fails as bad as this before? Let us know in the comments below! 

Cake. Everyone is up for it no matter what. Feeling sad? The cake will make it better. Feeling ill? So what, I still want a slice! Here at Gookie Dough, we've already shown our love towards the spongey goodness with our Funfetti Cake Batter flavour. However, here are some delights that may not tickle your fancy!

The hedgehog 

Let's be real, this is rather funny. It's almost like sonic had a bad hair dye experience. Not only are the spikes rather sparse, the smile actually looks painful. Let's hope it tasted a lot better than it looks! (Image credit: Mother Nature Network) 

Buzz? 

Now either Toy Story has had a makeover or we're trying to act like Milo from the Tweenies. My main question is has Buzz suddenly got braces and is that supposed to be a beard on his chin? Think about all that layered icing and how calorific that would be! 

Mickey Mouse 

As a kid, it would be a dream to get a Mickey Mouse cake! Now, the attempt has been made here and I'm praying it isn't an adult attempt! Either Mickey has had his ears severely burnt in the oven or he's wearing a charcoal hair mask. I'm not sure how I feel about the side eye along with the creepy smile. Looks delicious...

Do trains grow facial hair?

Now, you can honestly tell that this is Thomas the Tank Engine, however, why does he have a fried egg on him? The flower at the side doesn't really make any sense and there are no train tracks! I guess he's derailed. As for the moustache and wonky eyebrows, beautiful. 

That famous unicorn cake

You will have seen this cake trend everywhere! Unicorns are definitely in and I'm not gonna lie, they are rather cute. I love these cakes and it's only the other day where I watched on TV how to make it. Why do they make it look so easy?! My end result would be no better than the right. They tried, okay? 

You've had your laugh. I don't think we can bear to show you anymore due to the pure horridness. Have you had any cake fails that you're willing to share? Leave a comment down below, we'd love to see them.
