My flop attempt at making swissroll

I tried to bake a swissroll today, and it was a flop. It turned out too hard, and it hardly looked like a swissroll. Because it was hard, it could not be rolled, and it cracked when it cooled. :(

Hate the feeling of going through a flop attempt. It made me feel like I've wasted my time, but then...getting it wrong is part of getting it right isn't it?

When I wanted to throw it away, my mum tried to stop me. She said it's a waste to throw it, it may be hard but it's still edible...how nice of her...but I still threw it away after we ate a little of it.
