Episode 4: Our Baking Disasters, Historical Food Fails, and Bakewell Tart Redemption

We're good bakers, but no matter how good you are at baking there are times when the dang thing just doesn't do what it's supposed to. We're starting this episode with a very raw sharing session about some of our personal baking disasters, but then we get to make fun of old-timey people and the way they approached food, featuring bird crimes, pudding crimes, and poisoning people with sawdust crimes. We also made a Bakewell Tart to prove that even though we completely failed at that the first time we tried, we are capable of redemption. Just like Mad Max.
