Baking: it's an exact science. Add a touch too much baking powder or a smidge less butter than recommended and you're likely to find yourself staring sadly through the oven window as your creation rises too much or collapses dramatically onto itself. Add to that the pressure to spell those special iced greetings properly and you've literally got yourself a recipe for disaster. Here are some of our favourite confectionery creations gone bad: 1 When hedgehogs go bad 2. No wonder Suzanne is leaving.  3. Happy Hala... no, wait, what? 4. Good job, guys. 5. We're guessing this vile baby shower creation remained uneaten. 6. As did this one... 7. Oh, and this one. It's twins!   8. Is it sweet? Is it savoury? Is it looking at me? 9. #NailedIt10. Should we cut the cake? Or just leave it  safely inside the box? 11. As if the grammatical error wasn't bad enough... 12. This.

 

To my dear friends who got through their finals and and to those who are graduating! #congrats #cakefails
