I’m so stressed and I need decision making help. I have a work potluck thingy tomorrow and I said I would bring muffins. I originally planned to bring tim hortons muffins, but figured I would at least try making some. They didn’t turn out as good as I had hoped, and now I’m debating if I should go back to just bringing tim hortons muffins.
The flavors are chocolate with a cream cheese icing, blueberry streusel, and banana with dark chocolate chunks. I think the last two taste really good, I am slightly worried I added a bit too much espresso powder to the chocolate ones though. Anyways, you can’t really tell from this angle, but they def aren’t the tallest, prettiest, or most uniform muffins ever.
But yeah, if you were a coworker, would you prefer the attempt at hand made stuff? Or should I just give these to family and just get some tim hortons muffins to be safe?

Also forgot to mention in the post, but I haven’t really baked much in that past. I’m 19, so I’m trying to at least make it look like I tried to make something decent! It took me quite a few hours to get these done, I even had to scrap a whole flavor because I burnt the bottoms (I’m still gonna eat them lol)
Take your muffins and be proud!
Honestly, if I were your coworkers, I would jump at the chance for an attractiveness deficient homemade muffin over a styrofoam Tims muffin.
It always annoys me when people just bring store-bought baking for something intended to be home made.
It’s the same crap anyone could bring in or buy for themselves.
Something home made allows people to try something new.
If those photos are of your baking, they look great and your description sounds great.
You went through the trouble – don’t waste it. I’m sure they will love it.
Those muffins are gorgeous. Your co-workers will scarf them all up.
No definitely don’t take them. You should just deliver the to me instead. Completely kidding. These look absolutely delicious. Definitely don’t get store bought I think you’ll be surprised at how well your home made goes over.
Tim’s sucks and these look great!
They look really good! You should take them!
for the love of god please bring the homemade ones, they look delicious, i’d be much happier to see them if i was one of your co-workers!
Bring the homemade ones!!!!!
These all look beautiful and delicious
They look amazing! Way better than Tim Hortons. Bring them, unless you don’t like you coworkers 😜
Ok you TAKE those muffins cuz they look delicious, I would literally eat one of each right now. I love seeing a good muffin at a potluck, I’m sure they’ll be thrilled!
Home made every time.
As someone who has also panicked the night before and been scared to bring something that “wasn’t good enough” to a work potluck… bring them. Your colleagues will appreciate the effort (and I bet they are delicious!!)
They look great
Those look great. I say take them.
Also homemade muffins will often not be as tall or big or uniform as store bought muffins. Most people don’t expect homemade baked goods to look as “perfect” as store bought. That’s how you know your getting the real deal!
TAKE YOURS
I would totally eat those
Those look delicious! Please take yours and be proud of yourself for contributing something that you made yourself!
They’re beautiful. As a person that has been given two muffins this week alone at work, I think your coworkers will love them!
Home made all the way!
These look so good!! Idk what you’re on, probably stressed and tired after working on these but seriously take them in! The blueberry streusel especially is hitting my cravings so bad
Hi babe!! Those muffins look tasty and I would have a hard time picking my flavor. Take them and be as proud of yourself as we are!! Good job!🥰
If you’re sure that you use sugar instead of salt, then go ahead and take them. They’ll be sweet and not overly salty.
I would eat literally all 18 of them. Take em. Maybe write out ingredients so people who don’t like, aka dumb people, certain muffins know what’s in what. And take at least one out for yourself at the beginning. Sometimes people don’t want to be the first, so get the party started with whichever one you think is the best. Because you likely won’t have leftovers!
Those look great! And for a 19 y/o??? A+++
“THE KEYS TO THE CITY” if you bring these.
(This is a reference to a tiktoker who judges potlucks.)
Those look fantastic and you should take them. I’m always more critical of my own baking than anyone else ever is. When I first started making things for people I would be nervous about people liking what I made. The majority of people will never put in the effort to make things like this. They will appreciate the fact that you did, and I bet you’ll get so many compliments.
Really?
So long as they aren’t dry as shit, I will eat a mid muffin someone made with love and care over Tim Horton’s every time.
They look really good! And just remember we’re always our own worst critic, I’ve had stuff I was skeptical about before that others really loved and asked for more, I saw you haven’t been baking much/long but keep practicing and you’ll only get better. Definitely bring your muffins and bring them proudly ❤️
Take them!!
I would eat your muffins and hoard them and bring them store muffins!
We’re our own worst critics. Not baking but when I was like 22, I entered a guacamole and salsa making contest at work (huge company, tons of participants, 50 maybe?) and I was so anxious that my guacamole wasn’t good enough… but I WON!
Moral of the story: the muffins are probably way better than you’re making them out to be. Ask yourself if you’ll regret it if you decide to trash them and bring store bought muffins.
Just bring em. I believe in you and your muffins, OP!
Bring them, they look yummy and cute
I’d take homemade over anything else any day. Take them to the pot luck!
buy some at tim horton’s & bring the ones you made to me instead
One thing that I always appreciate is home-baked goods, considering how hard it is to actually bake, you can serve it to me in all different ways and as long as they taste good I would worship you for it! My point is go for it OP!
BRING THESE!!! I would absolutely grab one of these over a boring Timmy’s! Also, they look great, be so proud! 🤩
