13 Hilarious Thanksgiving Fails to Be Thankful For

Thanksgiving is around the corner so it’s time to dust off our cooking skills and get back in the kitchen for some home-cooked meals with family and friends. For many of us that’s pulling inspiration from the Internet. And as great as they may look on your Pinterest board, for some reason they just don’t come out quite right. Pies bake into a hot mess, turkeys burn to a crisp, and cakes magically self-destruct. It’s OK — not all of us were born with the Martha Stewart gene. And while you might not end up with the dish you envisioned, at least we are getting a few laughs out of it. Let’s take the time to be thankful for these 13 Thanksgiving fails that haven’t happened to you (just yet).
