Failures in baking


Failures in Cooking and Baking

Wondering what went wrong with your new recipe for the BEST cupcake in the WORLD? And you are trying to avoid the horror of the experience


In our lives we all have experienced failures and on the verge of giving up, because we are worried that it may happen again but bigger. Like a big fear e.g.: spiders or sharks.


Well in baking and cooking, it is hard to make things truly perfect and immaculate. But it's the mind set and thought in your head that really count. Sound cliché but it is true. If a failure of a baked good is the outcome, you may feel sad and broken hearted. Train yourself, to find solutions and tips to solve the problem like researching tips and advice on the internet, to make the failure better e.g.: tips on making short bread cookies. Another tip is to reflect on what went wrong, and what could be the factor that may have contributed in the failure.


Any things in baking and cooking contribute when failures occur like cooking temperature, cooking time, whisking and many more. These factors are hard to control because there are a variety of ways to do them for example beating egg white for meringue pie, you can beat the egg at high speed for all duration, low speed or in (multiple speeds) eg: low speed for 2 minutes, then 3 mnutes on highs peed.


All humans have flaws and secrets, just like baking and cooking. Just like Thomas Edison, the creator of the light bulb, he blew up and destroyed many before he made and lit up the successful light bulb.

Failure is like a learning point, or not. But it is what you do with it.

Happy Cooking
