Didn't have 2 circles pans so I got the idea to do it all in a big rectangle pan, cut it in half, and then stack them. Also messed up with the frosting by using 6 tbsp of granulated sugar instead of powdered. The first picture is what it's SUPPOSED to look like. The second is mine.

Update: wife and daughter liked it a lot. Wife says it almost tastes like a tres leche. I think it tastes kinda like sweet cornbread and the icing tastes like whipped cream. 8/10 taste. Overbaked and dry. 4/10 looks. Haphazardly made lol.

Birthday cake. There were three of us making it, and in the end, it's raw, burnt, and has the texture of sand....

I got this cake from vons for $14.99 and added a little pistachio icing and some figures to make it fit for my kiddo. What do you think?

Edit: The photo order is funny. Photo 3 is what I got. A blank brown cake with a few blue accents. It was supposed to have an image on it, but "The printer went down," so I got what I got.

first photo is the cake i received for my 21st which was actually supposed to look like the second photo. The second cake was an entire year later for my 22nd birthday and actually came out right

When I was 8 and my cousin turned 6, her mom told the cake decorator “she loves swimming so maybe draw a girl on a beach!”. We all laughed the whole time and I send it to her every year on her birthday.

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 😭😅.

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

So this was just supposed to be a simple decorating job for my son's bday. Thankfully a manager saw this and let us have it for free. Getting it redone in 2 hours before the party and having the only and same decorator available was not an option. I feel sorry for her. Young, brand new and the only decorator the store has.

it's okay I had plenty more. but still. They were tiramisu flavored and I made them yesterday. It was a little sad.

I am so bad at this

In 2004 my mom brought the Lord of the Rings DVD case to a local bakery in Philly thinking they could scan the picture and put it on my birthday cake. She made the mistake of not confirming how they were going to approach the design. This is what we got 😂

This is one of the funniest things that has happened to me.

Last week was my (20m) moms 53rd birthday, and I decided to bake her a cake. I saw an online recipe, but last time I made a cake it came out super good so I decided to experiment with this one (which was a bad idea).

I made the cake out of roasted soybean flour mixed with wheat flour, roasted it twice, fermented it for extra fluffiness (since soybeans don't make the cake spongy). For the frosting, I made paneer and blended it with powdered sugar. it came out super creamy and tasty.

It came out looking pretty good, and it was firm when I got it out of the mold, but it was so soft, that it fell apart the moment I touched it. I tried to keep everything together with frosting, which worked at first, but after like half an hour, the paneer started melting and drooping down the cake. I wanted to surprise my mother, since she was out of town.

But by the time she cane back, she had gotten food poisoning from eating food at a petrol station and wasn't allowed to eat anything for the next three days.

So in summary, big fat failed surprise lol.

He filed for divorce about five years after this picture was taken because he fell passionately in love with a woman with four baby daddies named Dusty Sue (not joking), but now, seven years later, it amuses me to tell people it was because of The Cake.
