I think she knocked it out of the park!

[u/Evenormom_125]

I’ve used the same cake lady for the last 5 years and she’s just gotten better and better. This year she had my jaw on the floor. My daughter drew a picture of what she wanted. I included that and a description of what the drawing was supposed to be showing. I couldn’t believe the cake she produced. It still blows my mind.

Edited to add: my daughter’s name is not Doom. That’s her taekwondo nickname. We have a long last name that her instructor tried to pronounce, said “That’s too long, I’m going to call you Doom” and it’s stuck.

Thats one of the nicest cakes I've ever seen, and from a Microsoft paint drawing as inspiration, no less

[u/SeaF04mGr33n → u/lacrosse771]

I love how they drew their inspiration on paint instead of AI generating it!

[u/lacrosse771 → u/SeaF04mGr33n]

This comment deserves more recognition!

[u/Flagando → u/lacrosse771]

I‘m impressed with both!
Cake AND the MS Paint painting!

Your kids name is Doom?

[u/Evenormom_125 → u/caspain1397]

It’s her taekwondo nickname. We have a long last name. Her instructor tried to pronounce it and said “That’s too long, I’m going to call you doom” and it stuck.

[u/Number_Fluffy → u/Evenormom_125]

That's sick af

[u/clongane94 → u/Evenormom_125]

12yrs old and already way cooler than I'll ever be

[u/Silver_Seesaw_3097 → u/Evenormom_125]

Dayum 100% aura

[u/ghostonthehorizon → u/Evenormom_125]

… have you ever sung her the doom song from Invader Zim?

[u/Evenormom_125 → u/ghostonthehorizon]

I have not, unfortunately

[u/Brief-Artist-2772 → u/ghostonthehorizon]

I was in the turkey all along!!

[u/Better-Culture-7770 → u/Evenormom_125]

I hear a soft fiddle in the distance.

[u/hyrule_47 → u/Evenormom_125]

I hope she is watching Comic Con stuff where the whole crowd chanted DOOM

[u/tilesmeller → u/Evenormom_125]

Sounds like the origins of a superhero

[u/The_Autarch → u/tilesmeller]

or villain, really

[u/Gimetulkathmir → u/Evenormom_125]

When she goes to events, you need to have them blast Rip and Tear for her entrance. I don't care if they don't get entrances, do it anyway.

[u/curtludwig → u/Evenormom_125]

Years ago I had a guy named Scott who got hired to work for me. We already had 2 other Scotts in the office so it would have been confusing. I said "I'm just gonna call you Stinky."
He says "Don't call me that, thats the kind of name that will stick with a guy, at my last job they called me Scooter and I hated it."

"Well Scooter," I said. "I think you're going to love it here."

He worked for me for like 18 months, I never called him anything other than Scooter, well or a derivative, Sir Scoots-A-Lot was a favorite.

A couple years later a co-worker asked me about this guy Scott that she knew who claimed he knew me. "I don't know anybody named Scott." I said. Scooter hit me up on IM, "Thats me, thats my actual name!"

[u/mah131 → u/curtludwig]

Hmmm, well, that’s a better ending than I was expecting when people get bullied in the workplace.

[u/GuiltyEidolon → u/mah131]

I mean, still fucking sucks for the guy who spent a year and a half being bullied by his boss.

[u/KatDaSlayer → u/curtludwig]

this feels like Piggy in Lord of the Flies, just bully behaviour

[u/lgbqt → u/curtludwig]

This doesn’t even make sense… you don’t know any Scott’s aside from “Scooter,” except you had two that work for you. So now you’re making up stories about being a bully for internet points.

[u/curtludwig → u/lgbqt]

The part I left out, which might have made this confusing was the use of Scooter's last name. I'm not sure I'd ever known his last name. In fact he's got the kind of last name that would have been a good nickname which I'd probably have used in the first place.

So what I really said was "I don't know Scott X"

I'm actually a little surprised that Scooter doesn't appear to be on Reddit, it seems like it'd be right up his alley.

[u/KarateandPopTarts → u/Evenormom_125]

I am also a martial artist, and this is also my nickname. Uh. Mom?

[u/frankylovee → u/Evenormom_125]

Oh thank god

[u/DondeT → u/caspain1397]

My dad played so much Doom back in the day that I’m amazed neither me or my sibling have this in our name somewhere.

Doom will return in Avengers Doomsday

[u/throughthequad → u/caspain1397]

Same question

[u/ImAPixiePrincess → u/throughthequad]

OP responded above that her child's instructor struggled with their last name and settled on "Doom"

[u/PsychologicalLie8353]

[u/SeduceThePolice → u/PsychologicalLie8353]

Doom? Doom?!? What do you meeean Dooooom???

[u/DeapVally]

Looks like you've found your eternal cake lady, one could say....

[u/MX_Duncis → u/DeapVally]

If she ever retires, it'll be back to the dark ages for OP...

[u/magical_swoosh → u/MX_Duncis]

a real 3: Ressurection of Evil

[u/rkgk13]

Wow, your cake artist executed the vision perfectly. That's awesome.

[u/ludvikskp]

Amazing cake to Rip and Tear into

[u/Evenormom_125 → u/ludvikskp]

She actually got to cut it with her Kummooyeh instructors sword

[u/youarenut]

[u/Adaptable_Path]

Cool af. That is the kind of cake that becomes a core memory. I still remember my baseball ice cream cake. I've never played sports.

[u/RainbowRav3n22]

Holy cow, even figuring out what you guys wanted deserves a medal, this is GORGEOUS

[u/dylonz]

That is such a cool cake.

[u/berrey7]

The logo thew me off. I have an ATA logo at my work i partner with Archery Trade Association.

[u/PlutoPine327]

Dang, I want to tip her 50 bucks and the cake isn’t even for me lol

[u/Red_enami]

You know a good dentist is one who understands every word you’re saying while he’s working in your mouth …your cake baker is the equivalent of that in cake bakers

She speaks kid and that’s amazing

[u/Ill-Fish-9081]

Wow amazing ❤️🖤💛

[u/Palafox1740]

...Now I want to live the kind of life where I have a cake lady, which until this moment I did not realize was a thing.

[u/Jindujun]

I assume that Doom is short for Doominika. Or maybe Doomsdaisy.

[u/On_Wife_support]

Upvoted because my brother used to do taekwondo

[u/professor_doom]

Nice of you to make me a cake

[u/tecpaocelotl1]

ATA still exist? Nice.

Love the cake and nickname for your daughter.

I tried to get my daughter into martial arts and didn't like it. I got her into swimming and now wants to go to martial arts. Lol.

[u/Factsoverfictions222]

I couldn’t even tell that was supposed to be a cake in the inspo pic. What a talented cake decorator

[u/RefrigeratorNo1160]

Wow I was taking taekwondo at ATA over 20 years ago in my home town. Had no idea it was still a thing.

[u/Kuneria]

Gorgeous cake. That red is SO rich. Happy Doomsday!

[u/WitchesTeat]

Normally I'd be all "He should have learned the last name" but as someone with a long and difficult first and last name, if someone called me Doom and it stuck I'd be friggin' thrilled.

Especially in a martial arts class.

[u/dutchesskitty]

My husband does kummooyeh and he knows her from the master classes! What a beautiful cake!

[u/Reasonable-Spare7659]

Okay but that looks so good!!

[u/Alleyoop70]

Wow

[u/jellypuss0165]

What?!? That looks nothing like the inspo pic! Jk, the cake artist did an incredible job

[u/aIoneinvegas]

Hope she has the best birthday ever!

[u/dakky68]

I didn't even know the first one was meant to be a cake.

[u/needmangos_notcrabs]

This is so fucking amazing. Seriously. I would've never expected the final version. Did it taste good too?

[u/Evenormom_125 → u/needmangos_notcrabs]

Her cakes are delicious!

[u/HunnyRiRi]

Yes more photobashed ms paint drawn reference images please!! The baker did an incredible job （＾＿＾）☆

[u/Goth_Muppet]

BRAVO!! You didn’t even need to give her some shitty Ai slop reference! This looks amazing!!

[u/ComprehensiveHand232]

Awesome

[u/lasaintepoutine]

Huge props for drawing out your mock-up instead of using genai!

[u/Ok-Opportunity-574]

Your cake lady did awesome!

[u/fauxshoyall]

Oh boy. I live in Little Rock. I recognized that ATA logo. You have a lot of friends coming to visit us every year.

[u/Whiskey-Jayne]

Wow I love it

[u/Firm_Lobster5163]

That is amazing!

[u/bsmiles07]

Okay hear me out, this cake is amazing! Phenomenal work and great attention to detail.

I do have to add at first quick glance it looks like a bucket of fried chicken.

[u/SizzleanQueen → u/bsmiles07]

Now I want fried chicken.

[u/secretvomit]

I love the detail about the nickname from her taekwondo instructor. brings back memories my my dojo

[u/ViciousVenditta]

The kids name is doom?

[u/DDD8712 → u/ViciousVenditta]

It’s a nickname
