15 of the best – or worst – lockdown baking disasters
Through a mixture of boredom and a desire for those non-essential treats that we’re apparently not supposed to be buying, people have been embracing baking as a new thing during the Covid lockdown.
For some reason there’s been a banana bread pandemic, which seems like a waste of a good banana, especially if this happens.

This was supposed to be a nice, neat, braided circle of chocolate, caramel, and banana filled chocolate yeast bread, but the strands all burst and it ended up looking like a pan of Sasquatch feces. Tasted ok, though 😀 pic.twitter.com/gRv9PmyUjn

I’m not much of a baker. I can cook alright, but baking…not so much. So, today I tried my hand at some lighthouse cookies, since I’m from Florida.
How do you think they turned out? pic.twitter.com/kKmB07XPmB

Quarantine baking Take One. Half of the cookies are burnt, half are raw, and the fire alarm is going off.
Lessons for the future.
1) My fire alarm works well
2) My neighbours are alert
3) My baking skills can only improve from here. Good thing I didn’t start with bread. pic.twitter.com/LU73Vp2u6f— Scott Searle (@scottsearle) March 30, 2020
13. The rainbow has become a special lockdown message to help people cope. Not these ones, though.

Finally, even when you can’t bake, you can still invent a fantastic new glue.
Quarantine has reconfirmed what I already knew…
