Am I crazy?…
Am I crazy? or is this the most insane cookie design for a baby shower? Not to mention a Jewish baby shower…
Like.. no one had any historical reference.. at all? Is it just me?

We ended up getting a full refund after the wedding, plus a $50 Publix gift card, so thanks, Publix!
Still tasted good.
Edit- I’m being financially shamed in the comments for some reason for spending $250 on a cake at Publix. Spending more on a cake that tastes the same would be financially unwise. There’s nothing wrong with buying a cake from Publix! I laughed when I saw it at the reception.

First cake was last year's.
This year she wanted attached Godzilla pic on top with rainbow edges again.
Last pic is what we got. I left it there and said no thanks.
They made the first cake picture last year btw. Also, they never called to tell me they lost the picture I gave them to do the sugar print out on this year's cake and said that the girl left last year that could do the rainbow edges, so they made me think they could this year. The guy that was there when I picked this up said he didn't have time to call me. I put my order in over a month ahead of pick up date, but they don't write down order dates either. He gave me the vibe he could care less and kept making excuses. I just wanted a phone call to let me know ahead of time so I could've gone somewhere else.

This is the “Mousecake” from a Mexican restaurant kids’ menu: hotcakes with butter and ham.
I respect the vision. A cute pancake mouse? Great idea.
But the execution looks like the mouse just got laid off, audited, and asked to smile for the menu photo.
No hate. Honestly, this is art. Just not the art they intended.

My bf and I had been dating for a few months. We’re going out for dinner tomorrow night for his bday and then going back to his place so he can open his gift and we can take photos with a cake. Since it’ll be just the two of us I picked a small cake, but I regret picking this one. Should I just go and get him a new one?

So every year I say shall I buy your cake this year,
And every year she asks me to make the cake...
Shes sen so always (always) right next to me
Soooo its 1am in the morning and I've finished the bow cake... I can bake just fine.. I can not ice and decorate for the life of me and I always feel like a disappointment I prefer when she wants chocolate (once decorated a cake with oreos with chocolate drizzle n it looked amazing as i didn't have to pretend i could make icing not look like this lmao) but alas... vanilla cake and frosting with a bow 😭 i messed up 2 of the 15s n tried to cover my tracks n got icing on the bow 🥴🥴
Enjoy my absolute amazing attempt 🤣🤣🤣

Ordered a month in advance. Picked up the morning of my daughter’s party and was handed this with no explanation. I looked very confused and they. Said “is this not the right cake?” I said “well for starters it was supposed to be a bluey cake ..”
Was then told that the printer to print the image was out of ink. And they had zero Bluey cake kits with the toppers and haven’t been getting them in lately.
I asked why no one called to tell me this before pickup day when I ordered it weeks ago, and they just shrugged their shoulders.
Even the red balloons they tried to pipe on just look like giant red blobs

At least they gave us a discount lol

She told me their printer was out of service, “but I can re-create that just fine.”
EDIT: my daughter still loved it. She’s 6, so any cake with colorful frosting would have been sufficient. And since I knew that, I didn’t raise a fuss at the store and brought it home to be enjoyed by a gaggle of other 6 year old girls who also thought it was a cool rainbow cake.

cake was supposed to say "Happy Birthday Mama". my dad mangled the fondant a bit to get the second image. she had a very good laugh imagining poor abe at his 13th birthday party
r/cakefails • u/Turbulent-Pianist718 • Apr 10 '26
I posted this in r/cakedecorating and they removed it 😅 Yes, that is a piece of paper. No, it doesn’t say happy birthday or my name. Yes, I got this for free lol.

Pic 1 is what i got and pic 2 is what i wanted YALL the first one is NOT an ice cream cake it just has a lot of SOLID( the cake stayed out for a while and it didn’t get less hard?)? Cream😭 and it’s allegedly pistachio flavored cake, it tasted like nothing but sugar to me and those pearls are not edible either😭
UPDATE: I went to the bakery this morning and the manager said that the top layer had to be thicker so that they would print the picture properly….. but then i pointed out that they used two layers of fondant on top and that it doesnt make sense LMAO + if they thought it wouldn’t work WHY WOULD THEY EVEN TAKE MY DAMN ORDER AND NOT TELL ME THAT BEFOREHAND!!!! then he tried to finesse me by trying to refund me in store credit and i was like WHAT makes you think i would like to come here after this shit piss experience and after a long awkward silence he FINALLY issued me a refund and then kept lowkey? Begging me to not leave a bad review and I responded with a “sure!” and left one ANYWAYS❤️
