There is a reason why some love to bake and others prefer to cook.
First - made a batch of toffee. It has yet to harden. It's more like taffy and I brought it up to the right temp.
Second - Fudge, well it's still cooling. I have to get it down to 110 before I start to whip it. But it looks ugly. Not even remotely appetizing.
Third - cookies. I just think baked goods sense my reluctance and all make a pack to fail. These were simple chocolate chip. And when the bake they spread out so thin. They look like they slowly melted and then just stayed there.
All my ingredients were fresh and not low end either. I checked my oven temp with 2 thermometers and all is fine.
My 3 items for the goodie plates for neighbors and co-workers is all going in the trash. So I officially quit baking. Between those darn ginger bread things and now today I am not meant to be a baker
