- I burnt the cake - 31%
- I didn’t follow a recipe and guessed at measurements and the process, with poor results - 20%
- I didn’t have the right ingredients, improvised and it didn’t taste nice - 14%

Andrea Guzyova, Founder of Treats and Bites (t/a www.bakerdays.com) said:
“Baking can be so much fun, however it’s not always a smooth ride when it comes to baking cakes that taste good, look amazing and impress your loved ones. There are many fun options on the market for delicious and beautiful cakes, that can be personalised with your photos, words and to the flavour of your choice – so if baking isn’t your strong point, consider saving your money and leaving it to the experts.”
