I posted this a few years ago in another sub and ppl were mad that I was "ungreatful" so here's some actual context!

This was either my 17th or 18th birthday cake my grandma had got for me, a few weeks before the birthday she asked for a picture of my switch to send to the decorator TO USE AS A REFERENCE (she wanted a cake that looks like a switch) so my dad sent one, when she finally went to get the cake she found out all they did was add (barley readable) text to that photo and just printed it out on the cake!!

My siblings and i found the cake itself pretty funny but my parents and grandparents weren't as amused

My mom tried to surprise me by ordering this frog cake I said I liked. The cake artist struggled a bit 😭😅.

My mother in law ordered a cake through Dairy Queen, this is how it looked when she picked it up.

When you order two cakes with “the same message.”

I could have don't a good few things to save this cake if I wasn't in a house with multiple people. If I had the fridge space I could have cooled the cake layers more before stacking. I could cover it with icing and gabash and whatever else to hide the imperfections and large cracks gluing it back together but ultimately it tastes good and it's going to be demolished so as long as people like it I'm happy.

The family ordered a special cake for my sister-in-law’s memorial services. How hard can it be? In another world, this would be a simple task…

redeemed myself with the second attempt sorta
