My life of fail ...

[scottishlass]

Baking is a touch and go kind of deal for me ... I can cook almost any meal by tasting only but where baking is concerned I'm an absolute failure ... for real.
Exhibit A : Una using instant dough ... that dough is already done ... I only have to chuck it into the oven and pronto-ready!! Well, not so for me ... I had it in the oven for the prescribed time, took it out and it tastes astrocious .. it was supposed to be a chocolate tarte I wanted to make for my family's Christmas tea but this is yuck!!!
I can understand that when I bake with fresh ingredients something can go amiss .. like the dough not rising properly or milk running out or not having any butter but with instant dough?????

*sigh*

Iz fail.

Baking is one of the biggest challenges of cooking. I know that too. Most of the time it doesn't come out like you wanted but if you have patience it may be better than you have imagined (yeah, sometimes when I think the result will be bad it turn out to be pretty nice ^^).

I am the proud creator of 'never ending fudge'. Made fudge and either cooked it too long or not long enough. Once anyone cut a piece, the rest of the fudge would eventually grow back into the empty space like some kind of alien slime. So, I feel your baking pain :)

If it is for a chocolate tarte, would it be something you could use a crushed cookie base for? So much easier and sure to taste lovely....I think it's just a matter of crushing some rather plain cookies and adding a bit of melted butter and pressing them into the pan.

Did you thaw it first & was the oven preheated?

I've burned water.

I feel your frustration.
