I was looking at the cooking fails images on Pinterest today, where expectations and reality are completely different things. When you are creating art with food, you need a lot of practice (and patience). Well, I do anyways! If I get lucky, I’ll get it right the first time! Over the years I have had my share of fails, fails that have made me cry and totally miserable. Especially when this creation has been for somebody else.

Today we wanted to make Easter egg chicks.  I don’t ever like to read instructions, so I didn’t read any today, I just looked at cute pictures on Pinterest as reference. When we were done, we laughed so hard because our egg chicks were far from perfect, and one of them was a total fail 🙂 We were trying to do an “Easter egg cook off” – We would each make 3 eggs.  Rob made his “chick head” material too liquidy and so it looked like his chick was out in the sun too long 🙂 Be aware of the sun in the summer.  Can you spot Rob’s chick below?Our egg whites where so thick today! I have never encountered such thick egg whites. It was so hard to put the top on without tipping the chick over because of the heaviness. Anyways, not everything turns out awesome for the first time, but they are still cute, right 🙂

Happy Easter!
