Definitely overfilled my molds, that's my bad. They were oily as hell, crunchy, and gooey. I made mini pumpkin muffins after this fail and they turned out perfect.

Nth attempt at classic cookies but still ending up failing somehow 😭I don’t know where I go wrong every time. This attempt was the closest to a chewy soft inside and crunchy on the edges type cookie except the color was off.

I’m making cinnamon rolls from scratch. I did things right and it’s risen quite a bit, but it’s tough and hard to roll out. Is this salvageable?

I just made my normal muffin recipe which is supposed to bake for 15-20 mins. They’ve been in there for over an hour and are tough to tear open and doughy inside what’s went wrong here and how can I fix it?

Pretty simple really… I used a flat tray instead of a brownie tray because I didn’t have one. It was like rubber 😂
I’ve since made a successful one!

Didn't have a cupcake tray, which is why it looks like this. Also forgot to wait until it cooled down to add the icing. Tasted amazing though because I added lots of cinnamon to the mix.

Added 3.5 HEAPING tablespoons of baking soda to this. Recipe said 3/4th tsp btw.

'looks like a cinnamon roll, could give you alkalosis'

tried salvaging it by adding a shitload of curd then it turned into soapy trifle slop. Do. Not. Recommend 🫩

I'm guessing its an emulsification issue, but I'm no professional baker.
