Fail: Bland Cat Puke w/Tub Caulk
by Heather from DollarStoreCrafts.com
Okay, so this isn’t really *my* craft fail. Nor is it really a craft (well, maybe sorta – it is a baking fail). It is crafty in that it was part of a bunch of holiday gifts we were indeed crafting/creating for our family.
My husband offered to help me with the homemade holiday gifts this year. A few of which were baked goods. After two different tries (and three different recipes), I received a text message from him saying: “I am 0 for 3.” When I came home from work, I saw this. Also known as “Pay Day Bars”.
To me it looked like cat puke (or worse) with some tub caulking as accent.
A for effort for my hubby (who shall remain nameless). F for bake fail! These suckers tasted about as good as they look. He forgot to add some of the sugar and bought unsalted nuts – so it was BLAND cat puke w/tub caulk.
;oD

I admit, that is nasty looking. Nice to have help, any way you can get it, right? I hope it is a memory you can both laugh over in years to come.
Oh dear, you have the best descriptions!
@marge: Dave (my hubby) is so freaking awesome! You bet I am thankful for him (and his sense of humor). We spend a lot of time laughing! Especially at ourselves! ;o)
Nice one Kate. I would tell you to turn it into dog treats, but I don’t think they can have chocolate. Unless the brown bits are just burnt cat poop, which Trigger can eat no problem.
Just yikes and ouch!

Scary!
Ewww. It kind of looks like Natto. I’m sure it tastes probably similiar.
heehee…we’ve ALL had baking fails. At least her TRIED!!!
This looks worse than the time I forgot the balking powder to corn bread (it tasted like corn bread and chewed like a brick). I also substituted salt for sugar one time, so I know about baking disasters.
Final funny cooking story…when I was just learning to cook, my mom asked me to make a very simple family favorite for dinner. It is chicken breasts over uncooked rice with a bit of chicken broth and a can of cream of mushroom. Some veggies and 1/2 cup of white wine are also added. Well I could not find the white wine, so I went digging in the cupboards. I found this bottle labeled “Dry White Wine” so I added 1/2 cup. That 1/2 cup of Vermouth made the drunkest chicken ever!
I. LOVE. YOU.
Honest. You ALL are my heros. Absolutely. Even though I just found your blog (thank you, Homemade Hilarity), this is one I will never miss.
You so rock! I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you guys and your sense of…style? Humor? Everything??
You are goddesses. I mean that. This blog – and all the contributors – could not have ended my year better. This is just so awesome!! I’m so glad I’m not the only one who does this…I just need to find a husband to blame. Everyone already knows I wouldn’t let my kids anywhere near a stove/oven/anything hot or having to do with fire. This is priceless!!
THANK YOU!!
(Not that you’re making up a husband to blame this on.) :)
ROTFLMAO
I should have taken pictures of my sugar cookie fail over the weekend with DS. I don’t know what I did wrong but they were puffy without being totally done and tasted like cardboard.
DS didn’t care though..a cookie is a cookie to him.
Question: why was there tub caulk used in an edible dish? Well, not so edible after its use, eh? However, I must say, it does look like puke, so not exactly a fail. :)
seriously, so funny. i mean, you had me at “tube caulk”.
