25 hilarious cooking fails that prove we can't all be domestic goddesses in isolation.

With many of us holed up at home, more of us are trying to find new and creative ways to keep ourselves from going stir crazy, including gardening, craft and of course, cooking.

Not only does cooking and baking make for a great way to entertain yourself when you’ve already binge-watched Tiger King (one too many times) or are waiting around for your next Zoom chat with your friends, but it also means you get some tasty home-made isolation snacks – so it’s really a win-win.

Watch: The difference between cooking when you’re in a relationship vs when you’re single. Post continues below. 

But sometimes our cooking ventures don’t always go so… well.

Sometimes we proudly take our masterpiece out of the oven only to find we’ve burnt the sides, realised we’ve accidentally left out an all-important ingredient or it looks precisely nothing like the pretty Pinterest picture. Sigh.

But that’s okay because we’ve all been there.

So to help you feel you feel better about your baking blunders (and give you a much-needed laugh) here’s 25 isolation cooking fails that didn’t exactly pan out.

Behold.

They say don’t bake your Heroes But I wanted to try anyway. I’m deeply sorry @jacindaardern I truly tried my best with what I had available... it’s made from another NZ icon lolly cake.... Swipe to see my bake off competitor @hilary.barry produce a stunning Aoraki Mt Cook Pav. #NailedIt

#StayAtHome & be productive.

I’m not much of a baker. I can cook alright, but baking...not so much. So, today I tried my hand at some lighthouse cookies, since I’m from Florida.

How do you think they turned out? pic.twitter.com/kKmB07XPmB

Quarantine baking Take One. Half of the cookies are burnt, half are raw, and the fire alarm is going off.

Lessons for the future.
1) My fire alarm works well
2) My neighbours are alert
3) My baking skills can only improve from here. Good thing I didn’t start with bread. pic.twitter.com/LU73Vp2u6f

I tried making honey biscuits with the g-free flour I found, but used marge not butter, and added a lot of spices... And I got flat cakes. They taste of spices, not honey. :/
But my partner says he likes them so that's something#bakingfails #baking #bakingbiscuits pic.twitter.com/9IvafL9f5Y

The texture... It was overbaked, so it's dry, crusty on the outside, but also springy.
The taste... virtually indescribable. Bitter. Chalky. Soapy. Why does the dried mint taste soapy?
It's red on the inside like some strange steak.
No.#bakingfails #baking pic.twitter.com/y0npnUzttH

Day25 of #WorkingFromHomeLife and I’ve realised my pan is not as non-stick as I thought it was. My new #lockdown resolution is to teach myself how to make a pancake and not have anymore #cookingfails like this..... pic.twitter.com/nayVrnjoBq

Need to show #COVID19 #bakingfails

I shed tears thinking about the brick and-a-half of gold (Butter) I lost a few days ago. An extra tear for several cups of flour wasted — it’s basically currency
