unconventionalbaker 8yr Haha. I still cringe at the memory of that cheesecake 🙈🙈😄 Gosh, so many relatable ones. I've definitely presented plenty a "deconstructed" dessert. And meringues are trickier than they seem! Unripe persimmons that make your mouth pucker up are the pitts 😱 and so are soapy smoothies 🙊 Gotta love the spirit of experimenting though -- no amount of fails will can my love for kitchen adventures...

Ricky 8yr I feel like they've decreased ever since I unplugged my smoke alarm, but that might just be a matter of perception.

annefood 8yr @Ricky love it!!! 👍🏼👍🏼 I definitely set the toaster oven completely on fire as a child. It was engulfed in flames.

Ricky 8yr The result was tasty so not sure it counts as a #foodfail, but I did once read that hummus would be delightfully creamy if the chickpeas didn't have that skin on them. That's an hour of my life I'll never get back.

annefood 8yr @Ricky I spent way too much time peeling chickpeas once too. #wasteoftime

mirasingh 8yr Haha I love these #foodfails. I'd say may success rate is like a batting average - if I'm at 40%, im happy. I think my worst was trying to make pizza for a friends dinner watching the super bowl. I loaded the entire pie, and didn't set the oven to the right temp. So the top caught practically on fire, the bottom was soggy, the smoke alarm went off (ha yes @Ricky this is my indicator of success as well), and everyone was left eating crappy frozen pizza from the bodega. Such a fail.

annefood 8yr Oh no @mirasingh ! A+ for effort though!

mirasingh 8yr Thanks @annefood 😉

Zesty_Z 8yr I made a mess trying to make lobster at home for a dinner party 🙈
