SO, I thought it only fair to confess that this is really NOT always the case, I am as human as the next person (well almost :P ) and have bad days and good days.
Learning to bake differently, especially when you are substituting the basic ingredients for a recipe takes time and patience. It may work straight away, but you are certainly NOT unusual if it doesn't! In fact, I am now so used to baking "free from" that actually my "normal" baked goods don't always work...
So I thought I would share this with you - even with a familiar, fail safe recipe I can make mistakes. This was supposed to be a free from chocolate cake.... except I forgot the raising agent.
*Ahem* Make that a chocolate biscuit.
That's when a teenager comes in handy.
It's finished before they realise it's slightly different!!!!
But did it taste good??!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear that I am not the only one that forgets the raising agent when baking 'free from' recipes. We have had many mistakes like that but they've always still tasted good.

Lol. I am rubbish at baking and following recipes. I much prefer to free style it and chuck random things into a pan and see what happens. It makes for some interesting combinations!
ReplyDeleteHa ha! Well done for sharing! We all make mistakes, just not many of us admit to them!
ReplyDeleteHave you ever checked out Pinterestfail.com? It's brilliant but I am not brave enough to share any of my own!
ReplyDeleteMummy can't bake either! ;) x
ReplyDeleteWe've all been there!
ReplyDeleteLol! Cake or biscuit, I am guessing your chocolate bake tasted good.
ReplyDeleteOh no but was it still tasty? If it was I bet you all enjoyed it still. We all have failures it's all part of discovering new recipes x
ReplyDeleteHow did it taste though? I completely admit I would never have known if you hadn't of said :) x
ReplyDeleteout of many failures : success will come fact
ReplyDeleteHee hee - I did that once too. Still tasted ok though
ReplyDeleteI love your sense of humour about your baking mishap. I think in life it's essential to laugh at oneself at these times - and I'm glad you had a giggle at your 'epic fail'.

Had to laugh at the end bit, about teenagers not noticing! So true! :)
