110. Picture Perfect

Est. Cost: $10*
What Happened: The person dropped the pie
They really dropped the ball on this one (pun intended)! Can you name something more satisfying than baking a picture-perfect pie and capturing a beautiful snap for your Instagram feed?

All was good in this baker’s kitchen until the pie decided to slip out of his hand and spill open. We could have advised him to salvage what was left, but even that doesn’t seem doable in a scenario like this one.

111. Birthday Cake Disaster

Est. Cost: $15*
What Happened: Best efforts were put in for a cake
One of the best gifts you could give someone on their birthday is baking a cake for them, but not everyone has those baker genes inside them. Even then, following instructions from the simplest cake recipes is not that difficult.

However, this person failed at this small task despite having all the best intentions. What stands out to us in this cooking fail is that the baker is fully aware of her disaster, even pointing it out on the cake itself. At the end of the day, it is the thought that counts, right?

112. Disappearing Homer

Est. Cost: $30*
What Happened: A massive cake fail
Homer Simpson has to be one of the most iconic characters of all time, and everyone can collectively agree on that. The picture of him disappearing in the bushes is a fan favorite, often used in memes and other pop culture references.

This baker just wanted to recreate that perfect image on a cake but failed miserably in the process. We don’t know exactly what went wrong with this cake, but we must admit that such delicate sculptures can be hard to replicate in pastry format.

113. A Spaghetti Disaster

Est. Cost: $10*
What Happened: The lid broke over the spaghetti
At the end of a long day, cooking a quick spaghetti dish is sometimes the easiest way to have food. This person hoped to do the same, but fate wasn’t on their side that day. They mentioned that all they wanted to do was cook some pasta, but every sign from the universe was against it happening.

A Spaghetti Disaster @Pinner62764345/Pinterest
Pasta dishes like this one don’t take much effort to cook. All you need to do is throw some ingredients in a pan, and you’ll be ready to go. But there’s nothing you can really do when the lid decides to break on your food, ruining everything inside the pan.

114. A Flowery Situation

Est. Cost: $5*
What Happened: Pancakes didn’t turn into flowers
Who says you can’t turn breakfast items into cute creations? This person had the excellent thought of giving her wife a Mother’s Day surprise by cooking her flower pancakes, but miscalculations were made with the batter and the food coloring.

A Flowery Situation @Pinner62764345/Pinterest
This looks less like flowers and more like the seaweed that you would find on the ocean bed, making it pretty clear it was this person’s first time in the kitchen. We really have to give him credit for trying; it’s unfortunate that his sweet thought didn’t translate into what he wanted.

115. Taking It Too Literally

Est. Cost: $5*
What Happened: Ice cream was put on actual bread
Ice cream sandwiches are lightweight desserts that are fun to indulge in, but this person took it too far. An actual ice cream sandwich will have a frozen scoop between two layers of biscuits or some other form of baked goods.

Taking It Too Literally @r/shittyfoodporn/Pinterest
However, this person used white bread for this dessert, ruining its whole vibe. When this was posted on Reddit, one person asked whether this could be something that feels disgusting but ends up tasting amazing. Maybe if you recreate this at home, you’ll find the answer to that question.

116. The Basic Building Blocks

Est. Cost: $2*
What Happened: Bread failure
Bread is the most straightforward food item out there, but it’s not the easiest to make. Essential bread ingredients include water, flour, and yeast. The latter is the most important of the bunch, but this person didn’t receive the memo on that before he started cooking.

The Basic Building Blocks r/shittyfoodporn/Reddit
His attempt at bread consisted of just flour and water, resulting in this rock-hard monstrosity you can see now. People on Reddit were appalled to see this, with some referring to it as ‘clay’ while others calling it an abomination.

117. Nightmare Fuel

Est. Cost: $35*
What Happened: A clown cake turned out to be quite scary
When baking a cake, a clown might not be our first choice. That is because, right off the bat, there are a million possibilities for things to go wrong. Many people are scared of clowns, and you don’t want to accidentally frighten the one you’re baking for.

Nightmare Fuel r/shittyfoodporn/Reddit
This person made that same mistake, except this cake could scare even the biggest clown lovers out there. It was made for the farewell party of a roommate, but we hardly think he would have made good memories to take with him.

118. A $7 Avocado Toast

Est. Cost: $7*
What Happened: The school made a pathetic attempt at an avocado toast
Avocados are one of the most controversial food items out there. Some people tend to hate them, while others swear by their magic properties. Regardless of your personal opinions about this fruit, you can’t deny that it can be made into some pretty delicious items, with avocado toast being one of them.

A $7 Avocado Toast r/shittyfoodporn/Reddit
Imagine being excited to know that your school’s cafeteria is serving avocado toast today, and then this is what you receive for the $7 you pay for it. The least bit of effort was put into this meal, which doesn’t even look appetizing.

119. A Smaller Patty

Est. Cost: $8*
What Happened: The person received an extra small patty
We’ve all had our beef with fast food joints in the past. Sometimes, they forget to add the ingredient we requested, and sometimes, they don’t remember to take it out. But what happened with this individual was probably the worst of all.

A Smaller Patty r/shittyfoodporn/Reddit
They ordered a burger, and what they received instead was the smallest patty any of us had ever seen. We don’t appreciate sending food back to the kitchen at a restaurant, but this just calls for that to be done.

120. A Charcuterie Rendition

Est. Cost: $30*
What Happened: Someone took a shot at making their own version of a charcuterie board
While the original French charcuterie boards were about cured meat, the modern-day versions are primarily about cheese and complementary food items. You can make your charcuterie board as fancy as you want, and it can truly be the star of a dinner party.

A Charcuterie Rendition r/shittyfoodporn/Reddit
This person might have had the same idea in their mind, but the execution was relatively poor. The board consists of a few purely cut pieces of cheese, badly sliced fruit, and some dry-looking pieces of Doritos. If the issue was just with the cheese, we could have made peace with it, but every bit of this charcuterie board makes it irredeemable.

121. Burnt Garlic Bread

Est. Cost: $5*
What Happened: Someone forgot that they were cooking garlic bread
Garlic bread and spaghetti are among the most elite food combinations. There’s nothing quite like a toasted piece of bread to scoop up all your leftover sauce in one bite. The best part is that cooking both of these items is super easy.
But that also means you have to be quick on your feet, something this person couldn’t do. They were making some garlic bread to go along with their spaghetti, but halfway through, they forgot about the bread, only to remember it after it was all burnt.
