Just fucking terrible.
"What if I recreated one of the challenges from Zumbo's Just Desserts," I heard myself say in a meeting. "It would be funny because, you know, I can't cook."
I imagined I'd be in a kitchen for a few hours, there'd be a bit of a mess, but there'd also be a reasonable attempt at finishing a cake also. A fun, easy experience with a delicious outcome!
How wrong I was.

Just Desserts is the latest in competitive cooking shows, with mad genius Adriano Zumbo testing the limits of some of Australia's best amateur bakers. Zumbo, for the record, has been referred to as the "Dark Lord of the Pastry Kitchen". I now understand why.
At the end of each episode, two bakers must face off in what's known as the "Zumbo Test". I asked for the recipe of one of these tests, to see how I'd fare.

When the publicist sent it over, the selected recipe was EIGHT PAGES LONG. THAT'S BASICALLY A SMALL NOVEL.
There were 55 ingredients listed. FIFTY. FIVE. I had to read through it twice, just to make sure I didn't miss anything.

What I attempted to re-create is known as the "FrankenZumbo". A dessert within a dessert within a dessert within... Well, you get the idea.
