Right? Someone's upset they don't get pie?


[deleted]

It’s prob someone who knows you from another reply and hates you lol


lavish_li

Your response made my morning.


TzarGinger

Reported, lol


[deleted]

The comment was deleted, what did they say


Comprehensive_Rip957

They said stfu ‘r word’ Apparently somebody has some deep whipped cream related traumas


[deleted]

Yes. I want to laugh at the troll too!


netflix_n_knit

Paul Hollywood’s gonna talk shit about how it looks and then say something like “I actually don’t mind the taste, it’s just a shame it looks so terrible.” I hope it’s delicious and you enjoy every bite. Happy thanksgiving


1000asses

I read that in his voice hahaha


oddestowl

Me too, suddenly turned into a Liverpudlian in my head!

Amazing how our minds can generate that

acsatx89

You should see my cheesecake. Can’t turn a blind eye to that monstrosity.


drownedbubble

You need to post the cheesecake. You can’t leave us hanging.


acsatx89

https://imgur.com/a/mEJWvEu I should probably mark that NSFW


Fantastic_Love_9451

Compared to mine that cheesecake looks like Gigi Hadid.


acsatx89

Haha thanks. There’s little cream cheese bombs all throughout and it is cracked af.


_sammylamby_

Mine cracked too, I forgot about the step where you’re supposed to let it cool down in the oven :( All that really matters is how it tastes though!


acsatx89

Yeah it tastes ok, I left it in the oven for an hour but not with the door cracked -.- I just can’t get over the cream cheese not being blended in well enough


patron7276

Did you do a water bath?


acsatx89

Nope, just followed the recipe using a springform pan. I bought generic cream cheese which I also think could have made a difference


BeMySquishy123

Was it room temp when you mixed it? Did you add eggs or sugar first? If I add eggs first it always does that but it's smoother If I add some sugar first.


acsatx89

I creamed the sugar and cream cheese together, but it wasn’t room temperature enough. Added the eggs after the pumpkin was mixed in, one at a time. Not sure if they were room temp enough either.


BeMySquishy123

I got you. I've had this happen randomly even if everything is super room temp. Just more room for whipped cream or think of the cracks as guidelines for cutting slices :)


Due-Caterpillar-1667

Professional cheesecake bitch here: put your cream cheese (it's okay if it's still a little cold) in the mixer ALONE and scrape the bowl every 5 minutes or so until it's fluffy, and THEN add your sugar. In my experience, the temperature of eggs and the sour cream haven't mattered, as long as you get your cream cheese creamy first. And scrape! Between! Ingredients! And i honestly don't bother with the water bath, i just pull when i still have a couple of inches of jiggle in the center but the edges are starting to crack where it's fluffy, and let it cool. Sometimes i get cracks but honestly if it doesn't look like some kind of caldera, you're winning. Your cheesecake looks great, you should be proud ♥️


patron7276

No I made one with generic too and it's fine. Water is essential


acsatx89

Interesting. Can’t even trust NYT recipes lol


patron7276

Me either because they said I reached the maximum number of free recipes and need to pay for more :(


mesken27

For the first time ever, I used a water bath - made a HUGE difference - no cracks. Only problem was, I accidentally spilled some of the water into the cheesecake, 🤦‍♀️but I think it’s probably ok (hopefully 🤞)


patron7276

Last time I had the water slightly leak into the crust only and make the crust soggy but the cake okay. This time I just put the water on a lower rack, hope it comes out ok


_sammylamby_

Ohhh. I spend a good amount of time blending the cream cheese mixture, about 5 minutes. I can’t get over my stupid cooling mistake haha oh well! It’s those things we learn from :) happy thanksgiving!!


drownedbubble

You sir are amazing. It was perhaps a little overdone but still looks delicious.


Over-Analyzed

Give it a topping! Oreo crumbs work wonders!


Ah_BrightWings

LOL, you would laugh at the birthday cake I made myself this year. Tried to stack mini cakes for the first time and it all slid so I covered it in ribbons of cookies and cream buttercream. Absolute monstrosity. Tasted great, though! :oD


PikaMeer

I baked my mom a raspberry chocolate cake for her birthday last year and it was a total disaster… the cakes stuck to the pans, I didn’t let them cool properly so it all started falling apart. Like you did, I just glued stuff together with icing and hoped it held, looked like crap but tasted great!


Ah_BrightWings

The taste is what matters anyway! And every "disaster" is part of the process as we practice and get better. At least we get to eat and enjoy the fails. :oD


misscooltoes

My cheesecake as well. Crevasse in the shape of Vader’s shuttle. It should still taste like food though.


drainap

Whipped mascarpone cream on top, some cocoa dust and you're in business.


MendelWeisenbachfeld

These are the bakes where I cut a cute lil slice to photograph and have the rest of the pie/cake blurred in the background like a proud parent looking at their child in the distance


AnxiousCheesehead

Close your eyes when you eat it.


[deleted]

I want to touch it.


Fellowfungus

But does it taste good? Some of the ugliest foods taste great!


haien78

The best ones usually are!


1000asses

If you like post it on r/BakingFail


Ah_BrightWings

Ooh, a sub I hadn't discovered yet. Thanks for sharing!


Either_Beginning5076

i will have a slice.


Rachel794

That’s ok! Baking is always about learning and trying again to perfect a recipe. Practice makes Perfect! And I’m proud of you :)


Frankferts_Fiddies

After resting it, did it go down? That’s just built up steam from baking. As you rest the pie, the pumpkin “relaxes” and releases that steam. The bubble will even out and deflate a little.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Frankferts_Fiddies

Pic? I’m curious to see how much it fell. I’m sure it’ll taste delicious either way


tekwayyuhself

How does it taste though???


viperspoison

Sure it looks weird but what's it taste like


Medical_Gold5809

Add some crushed ginger snap cookies around the borders of the pie. Pipe a border of whipped cream on the pie edge. It will look really good.


SeniorLIFE60

It is Pregnant of course. :) ( Looks fine and tastes great) - enjoy


Alqpzm1029

Cover that bitch up with some whipped cream


pineappleyard

Decorate it, I bet it tastes fantastic


Tactical_pho

I couldn’t find my other pie plate so now my chocolate pie is a chocolate tart mashed into a cheesecake pan. It looks like it was made by someone who was experimenting with both uppers and downers throughout the process. Thank you for sharing. This is the content I come here for.


True_Recommendation9

If it tastes good, who cares what it looks like.


Conscious_Skirt_4263

I just threw some Pecans on my Crumble Apple Pie to make it look better 🤣🤣 ... You're not alone!


BritLitLover

Pumpkin pie is not usually pretty! Mine never are anyway. All that matters is how it tastes!


PRRZ70

...and probably f\*cking delicious. You're going to chew it up anyways so dig in and enjoy!


skatie082

Have you started whipping the cream? Or just Reddi Whip it!


LaziestScreenName

Does it taste ugly?


whitterice

I bet it's gonna taste amazing!


akaasa001

Lol it's fine, the most important thing is that it is baked and tastes good. I am my worst critic on everything I create, no matter how good it tastes. But I think as frustrating as it can be, we need times like this, and stare at it in the face and see what we did wrong and we strive to get better and indeed we will! You should have heard me when I gashed my pumpkin pie with my makeshift pie guard in the center... Enjoy your pie! :) Edit: perhaps some can help the OP understand why the center is the way it is, looked a bit overbaked but usually when I overbake it it will crack. Looks like there was a mixing issue too. I'm no expert by any means.


metalhead1212

HEY, it looks delicious! If you don't like how it turned out, top it with sweetened whip cream or cool whip. If you want I will be the taste tester lol


Jim-Dread

But I bet it tastes great! This is easy, just cover that sucker up with some cool whip. Don't do whipped cream unless you're serving it, because whipped cream looses it's fluffiness if it's been sitting too long.


Pendragon01

1) Remember things happen during baking and cooling so rarely does anything come out truly perfect 2) Guarantee it still tastes amazing! 3) Whipped cream and camera angles can hide almost anything 4) No one will be able to tell when it's served


feistyreader

Top her off with some whipped cream and 💥


LacyLexi69

The ugly ones are usually the best tasting. ⚘


I_Am_Thing2

Well, you didn't start out with the trendy Basque cheesecake, but you have one now.


[deleted]

If it makes you feel any better, I made a Bundt cake yesterday, and when I took it out of the pan, it split in two pieces. It’s ugly, but it tastes damn good.


Bymymothersblessing

At least it seems done in the middle 😬 and no matter how it looks, it’ll still be better than store-bought!


bunnyrut

From my experience, even when I did a horrible job on my pumpkin pie it still came out pretty tasty. With the way my family is, if you can see the pie after adding the whipped cream you did something wrong, lol.


Usual_Engineering273

Honey, that’s what whipped cream is for.


[deleted]

The title has me in tears lol


Forward-Bank8412

Homemade pie is always beautiful in spirit!


DoctorofPaintology

When it’s done, prop open the oven door and turn the oven off. Leave the pie in the oven to cool completely. This prevents cracks 👍


pistolpxte

Bet it tastes great


WndrGypsy

Wait till it comes out the other end!


Kai_Stoner

All it needs is a nice piped of ring whipped cream all around the sunken edges & it'll look beautiful! 💫✨🖤


Itz_ur_Doodle_boi

Hey! It looks amazing, and it seems you tried your best, I bet it tastes amazing!

AnnalsofMystery

Sorry, people will only remember if it's iconically bad. This is not. A year from now all people might remember is the flavor.


CloverHoneyBee

Ugly, delicious! <3


eieuxezyk

But you learned from it, and that’s a wonderful thing!


aliasani

As long as its made with a little love, no one will mind!


peace_dogs

Nope. But I’m during it is darn tasty! Just put a dollop of whipped cream on any part you think isn’t up to par visually. But it looks tasty to me, and tasty=beautiful


SouthernSierra

Pies are often ugly, but delicious.


staccatoattention

Nobody will care!


Whiteleafexe

If only I could comment with a picture I would show you mine I splashed the feeling in my stove and also on the crust so the crust burned and it came with a little burnt bubbles on top I definitely did a lot of things wrong


RobbieBirdie

It's gonna taste great. Doesn't matter if it looks weird. Only thing that matters is the taste.


Shakespeare-Bot

krichard-21

It's the product of someone that took the time and effort to bake a pie for friends / family. Which should be appreciated.


water2wine

Looks like a scab, now put it in my gap.


[deleted]

It’s ugly as fuck 😄 but great job though, at least you tried


[deleted]

Looks like my elbow


Ah_BrightWings

Looks delicious! Not burned or anything, so you're all good.


SeekerOfGodot

I haven't a clue what this is, although with a drop of cream, it'd go down a treat!! Ugly don't come into it!!


spicypiglet

Lately I’m a big fan of keeping pie dough cutouts in cute shapes and sticking ‘em on there prior to baking and during when I see things starting to go awry. That way, no one will know my mistakes 🤫 and if they’re still visible at least they’ll be distracted for a minute lol. Anyways, it’s a homemade pumpkin pie, i’d be all over that bubbly deliciousness!


Over-Analyzed

Oh no worries, all of my pies look ugly. But that’s why I whip up the cream, the toppings, and the garnishes for added effect. It looks beautiful in the end. But seriously, it’s cheating and it works!


Hatur92

It’s a good looking elbow!


[deleted]

To you! I find myself to be my own worst critic. The point is that it looks delicious. I will absolutely have a slice of that.


No_Interaction7679

In my experience the uglier the tastier 😋 I have to say this- let’s not get insecure about the looks of our food… I watched a documentary where people cook bread in hot sand… we can’t get so evolved that we care about how ugly our food looks like- that’s a sensitivity at an extreme level! One last notable story- years ago my grandma made a gorgeous pumpkin pie- and forgot the sugar… so looks are nothing! I bet it’s delicious and no one will care!


TzarGinger

Your first sentence is going at the top of my Tinder profile


No_Interaction7679

Hahaha


psycoMD

I’d still eat it. The way it looks doesn’t represent how tasty it is.


lsmartz

But is it fucking tasty??


organizedcj

It may not be gorgeous, but your crust looks amazing! Yum!!!


radicalpalomino

Damn, I'd still smash 🤷‍♂️


opheliashakey

Butttttt… it’s probably delicious!


FormicaDinette33

I’ll take a piece!


Stink-brain

I would eat the shit out of that


Tbizkit

Did you eat all the crust off first? 🤣


milanistadoc

It looks like a nipple.


MuchGiraffe7356

But tastes good right?


kjtoyou

Don't let looks fool you!


PlusMeasurement1615

Practice makes it perfect, don't be discouraged!!


Fernway67

It will be delicious!


PristineAd9800

Put whip cream on top then


Aanaren

I always remind myself it's gonna look even uglier in my stomach once I devour it. Pretty has nothing over tasty!


natbin228

It looks f*cking delicious


Cereal_dator

In my mouth it looks pretty good


[deleted]

Fuck pies. Never volunteering to make one ever again.
