Health: Today, to be nice, I baked cookies for my step-mom as a birthday...

Today, to be nice, I baked cookies for my step-mom as a birthday present. I burnt my hand while putting them in the oven, but I'd hoped it would be worth it. When she got home, I gave one for her to try. She took a bite, spit it out, and threw it on the floor, asking if it was a joke or if I was really trying to poison her. FML

Today, I went to make cookies, the box said mix by hand so I literally used my hands. Not a fork or anything. My step-mom walked in and laughed at me. FML

Today, I bought my mother an apple pie. She made a face at it and said that she'd decided to go on a diet. After I'd left the house, she put it in the oven, forgot about it, and burnt it to a crisp. She then called me up to inform me that I'd wasted my money, and to get her "another damn pie." FML

Today, I baked a cake. After feeding it to my entire family, I opened the stove, planning to temporarily store the cake inside. I then noticed a mouse, burnt to a crisp. FML

Today, I woke up early and spent hours baking and icing a three-tier cake for my friend's eighteenth birthday, which is this evening. I just found out my mother threw it in the compost bin because she's on a diet and it was "tempting" her. FML

Today, I made my mom cookies for Mother's Day. My brother took all the cookies to work as a snack, because I didn't specifically tell him that the homemade "MOM" hearts weren't meant for him. FML

Today, to treat the family, I cooked something nice in appreciation for sticking it out over the past few tough months. Unfortunately, I chose this one day to not wear my oven mitts when carrying the food to the table, spilling the food all over the carpeted floor. FML

Today, as I was making biscuits my mom joked, "Don't burn the house down." I told her "Don't worry, I know how to make biscuits." The oven caught fire. FML

Kitchen nightmare

Today, after placing it on top of the stove, my hot tray of freshly-baked cookies slipped. I caught it, though. With my bare hand. FML

Baked

Today, I baked a cake for when my mum came home. I did everything I needed to do and put it in the oven, set the timer and went to do some things around the house. When my mum came home, she asked why there was a uncooked cake mix sitting in the oven. I forgot to turn the oven on. FML

Caked out

Today, I meant to surprise my boyfriend by baking him a cake. When I took it out of the oven, I realized I had accidentally used salt instead of sugar. He tried to eat it anyway, and ended up spitting chunks of it out all over me. FML

Learn to cook better, but your stepmom could still have been more appreciative of the effort !!

Why? When the end result of the effort was horrible. That like having kids play a Baseball Game where "everybody is a winner" just for participating. Results matter.

It's not a nice gesture if it makes you sick. The op should have been more careful.

Oh come on, how bad could they have been? unless the op dropped some dead rats in there the cookies couldn't have been THAT terrible so that the step mom would be justified in reacting like a total bitch.

Fuhohohoho... Another step-parent making a bad name for step-parents everywhere. At least now you know not to ever cook for her again. Or be nice for that matter!~

SeanFrederick-How does OP deserve it? The stepmom didn't have to be a bitch about it. It was a nice gesture.

Any sane human being might take a bite out of a cookie they made BEFORE handing it out like they're something to be proud of so yes, the op deserves it, and yes, you are an idiot.

Oh, right. How could I have been so stupid. CLEARLY, whether or not you take a bite out of a cookie before you give it to someone defines your sanity. Thanks for pointing that out. And if this comment shows up in a random spot, which it probably will because I'm an idiot, deal with it.
