Wednesday night sees the final of Britain’s much-loved baking show, and in honour of the remaining contestants and the tense ordeal they will face we’ve put together some of your worst baking creations.

If you think you can top the bakes sent to us via GuardianWitness (see what we did there?) you can share your photos with us by clicking on the ‘Contribute’ button.

Remember the Jaffa Cake technical challenge Mary set?

Our one and only attempt at making a giant jaffacake cake.. Never again..

Macarons. Simple, right?

Spent about an hour whisking egg whites with a fork to no avail... Got bored, moved on and hoped for the best... Tasted alright though!

Savoury bakes were also your victims – would anyone eat this?

Bread dough rolled out, spread with mustard (English of course), frankfurters, red onions and some slices of emmental cheese, rolled up and baked. Slice once cold.

Polar ice cap? Good one ...

I call this piece "polar ice cap"

This is what happens when you run out of green food colouring

My Mum made this but ran out of green food colouring hence psychedelic peas...

We like what you’ve done with the place – shabby chic?

Extermi... get rid of it already

Made it to celebrate a new series of Doctor Who. It didn't turn out like the picture in the recipe.

And finally ... this beautiful creation

Made this for my daughter's 8th birthday. Looked fine until I left it overnight - poor old thing crackled all over, so that she looked like an 85 year old in a bikini top.

Cick here to see more of your creations and to add yours.
