Ever tried to salvage a cracked cheesecake? I made one last year that split right open like a fault line after it cooled. Ended up dumping a bunch of chocolate sauce over it and telling everyone it was a lava cake variation. Sometimes the big fails make for the best stories once you get past the initial disappointment. What's the weirdest fix you've tried for a baking mess?
What helps you shake it off, @tarah73? When I get that awful sinking feeling, I literally have to stop and take three deep breaths. Sometimes I'll go make a cup of tea just to change the scenery for a minute. It sounds silly, but moving my body for a second can stop the bad thought loop. Little resets like that stop me from spiraling.
