Maybe you want to make up to your partner for something stupid you've done, or maybe you're bored. It doesn't matter; you've found the perfect recipe, and you're willing to commit the whole evening to making it a reality. The problem is, nothing is as deceiving as a recipe. Not even those icebergs that threatened the Titanic. I mean, that lasagna may look pretty in the pictures, and the steps may sound so simple anyone could do it, but it couldn't be further from the truth. That, however, was enough to fool you, and now you're as oblivious as the ship's captain, heading towards a disaster. A horrible expectation vs. reality food disaster.

Bored Panda has collected some of the funniest examples of food fails to make you feel like an iron chef. After all, we all need some encouragement. From stained glass cookies that look like they've just committed suicide to a rice bear that is more mummy than bear, these dishes make you wonder if someone was brave enough to eat them. 

Scroll down to take a look at why sometimes it's better to order a pizza and vote for your funniest expectation vs. reality food pic entries.

    Why Do We Find These Expectation Vs. Reality Food Photos So Funny?

    We’ve all been there - funny food fails that leave us with burnt dishes, collapsed cakes, and croissants looking like sharp dough sticks rather than buttery crescents of glorious flakiness. But let’s be honest here: while these epic food fails can be quite maddening, they’re also pretty hilarious. Besides, there’s also something so relatable about them! It’s almost like we are all in this together, trying to master the art of culinary excellence, one food fail at a time. 

    Let’s not forget the visual aspect of these expectation vs. reality food pics, either. There’s something inexplicably hilarious about seeing regular food items come into this chaotic jumble of gooey textures and incredible colorations. Sure, this can be called a part of the creative process, but we think these unexpected visual plot twists are what make these epic food fails so deliciously funny. Plus, sharing these moments of culinary catastrophe can bring us closer together, as laughter is a social glue that connects us.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    At the end of the day, funny food fails remind us that we're all human and that it's okay to make mistakes. Even the most seasoned chefs have been there or started there. So go ahead, cherish the imperfections, and have a good laugh.

    Honestly, what I don't get is these ones that don't follow the original AT ALL. What did you expect? The eyes are those bugged out ones that come in a bag and don't look anything like the original, the nose is upside down, the ears are chocolate chips instead of discs, the colors are inverted (or maybe it was decorated hot and the sugar melted into the cupcake?) and the mouth doesn't look anything like the original. I mean, if you're not skilled or don't have much practice, don't take these liberties or the result will be...what you see here...

    I think there was too much jam in the cookies and they should have been baked on parchment paper or on a Silpat liner. Some of them turned out okay. A little icing drizzle would hide the mistakes.

    The meringue goes on after the cupcakes have cooled and then you brûlée it with a hand torch, lightly.

    The only difference I see is no whipped cream on the "Reality". Other than that, pretty good pancakes.

    The ones on the right look like they were made from ham. I would probably eat them and then be disappointed that they didn't taste like ham.

    this happens with recipes that tell you to use tinned chickpeas and no flour or breadcrumbs. Use soaked raw chickpeas and add a teaspoon of flour to the batter and you will be successful

    the problem with most of these is that the expectation pictures are made with fondant while people attempt the same thing with frosting. it just won't ever look as good/neat.

    if you're going to bake cupcakes without a muffin tin, you need to use the metal cupcake wrappers that are designed to be free-standing. (and even then you can't fill them too full, or they go pear-shaped. sometimes literally.)

    If you coat the end of the stick in chocolate before you stick it into the cake balls, it tends to help it from falling out
