For all of the talent we have on here, what is the one thing you CAN'T make that you wish you could?
I can't make pies to save my soul! As long as the dough comes out of the Pillsbury red box and the filling comes out of a can, I'm good, but to make a scratch-pie-crust, with scratch-filling? It never works and I've just given up.
It may be a childhood scarred memory that is my barrier. I remember one thanksgiving my mom said I could make the pie. I was about 11 or 12. Well, I mixed that flour and water together, rolled it out and baked it. Geesh! No one TOLD me I had to put shortening and baking powder in with the flour! As you can imagine, it was a little tough! ![]()
I've never tried made-from-scratch homemade breads either, but I'd like to try it someday ..... if I get the nerve!
Sssshhhhhhhh.....Can't seem to get myself to always make the bed! LOL!!!!!!! ![]()
Don't feel too bad, I sometimes can't even make myself get OUT of the bed...well, except to come take a look at CC. Janice
I hear ya, Janice! ![]()
I can make cakes that taste great but I can't decorate them like all the amazing people on this site!! I'm only brand new but I'm impatient!!! Everyone has such amazing talent here and what makes it even more amazing is that all these wonderfully talented artists come here and share their secrets with us amateurs!! I consider myself lucky to have found this website and will keep on practising with my decorating. ![]()

I can't make scones
I can follow the recipe, and end up with rocks

Nati,
This is the best scone recipe, light, moist and tasty. Was never much of a scone fan because too often they are dry or like rocks. But these are great and I make about 400 a week now.

my cheesecake tastes good...
but cracks like the grand canyon...
i've heard you can't bake cheesecake in a convection oven.
I could write a book on things that I've messed up on. And I'm the type who gets frustrated and likely won't try it again. The one thing I'd like to know how to do is buttercream roses. Never made a good one. I tried the rolled fondant rose this weekend and almost gave up but finally they turned out. I'd love to be able to decorate cakes like the rest of you on here to. I guess I need to practice practice, practice.
