 Let's face it, we're not all cut out to be Paula Dean or Gordon Ramsay! Judging by the hilariously-bad photographic evidence in this gallery, some people are just plain better off ordering takeout than trying to prepare a decent meal in the kitchen. From freaky baking fails to just plain gross-looking meals that we wouldn't feed our dogs, these food items all range from kind of ew to straight-up inedible. At least they tried, right? Wrong.

Check out these funny cooking and baking fails that rendered perfectly good food into one big fat FAIL!
