Estimated Cost: $15–$20* Result: Sourdough attempted to break free of its pan.
When social media baker Elizabeth Walter attempted to make sourdough bread, the result was this quite offensive picture. Considering that it's all 100% sourdough bread, we can demonstrate it.

"Just don't ask," Walter wrote as a caption for her picture. Despite the home baker's best efforts, the sourdough simply refused to stay in the pan—possibly due to a starter problem, but who knows?
8. Macarons
Estimated Price: $25*
What took place were amorphous, melded macarons.
Instagram users @bored_in_self_isolation and @bakingfailures shared a photo of their effort at making French macarons. Macarons are renowned for being difficult to prepare and needing numerous tips and tricks to turn out well.

Because this batch melted everywhere, the form completely collapsed. The poster did, however, note that the macarons were still delicious in spite of their fairly gory appearance, which is more than we can say for many of the posts on this list.
9. A Cake Interpretation of PM in New Zealand.
Estimated Price: $30*
What transpired was that Jacinda Adern was an awful cake.
A former politician, Jacinda Adern, served as New Zealand's prime minister. The woman who penned the book I Know This To Be True was much respected by many for her courage, convictions, and ability to lead the nation.

Even attempting to create a cake homage to Jacinda was comedian Laura Daniel from New Zealand. Unfortunately, things didn't work out as planned, and Daniel had to apologize for the poorly done cake portrayal of the previous prime minister.
