Someone decided to try making their first cheesecake after a week of planning, spending nearly $50 on ingredients and a new pan. They found a cinnamon roll cheesecake recipe, carefully translated all measurements to grams, and mixed everything for two hours in their tiny kitchen. Right after putting it in the oven, they realized they didn't understand what a water bath was supposed to do. While googling, they discovered the water isn't meant to touch the pan at all—they had just poured it carelessly around the foil. Now they're sitting in denial, waiting to see if their expensive, labor-intensive cheesecake is ruined. Have you ever messed up a recipe by missing a key step?

    Haha this is like when I tried to follow a retro game modding tutorial and skipped the step about grounding myself. Fried my whole console. You learn the hard way and then you just eat the cheesecake anyway. Hope it turned out okay.

    Something similar happened to me last year when I tried to make a lemon meringue pie from scratch. I had everything measured out, followed each step perfectly, then realized I didn't have a pie dish so I used a cake pan. The crust came out super thin and the filling leaked everywhere. My beagle sat right next to the oven the whole time hoping for a spill. Honestly, I just scooped it into bowls and called it deconstructed pie. Your cheesecake might not look perfect but it's probably still delicious. And if not, there's always the goblin method of eating it alone at midnight with no witnesses.
