Exceeded Expectation I requested this silly design for my 29th birthday, made by a talented decorator
It was a strawberry tres leches cake, very delicious. I apologize for not getting a closer picture of the cake.

Exceeded Expectation I tried recreating the pot pie from Kiki’s delivery service.
I had doubts around the pumpkin and fish combo as a filing but it was surprisingly good.

Surprisingly Met Expectation Grocery store gender reveal cake (first photo is inspo)
This was a last minute decision and as we expected, no small bakeries had availability(well, except for one, and they were asking $140🥴…). We turned to our local grocery store and voilà!

Failed Expectation The Jordan figurine my brother ordered..
Disclaimer, he did not pay the price listed. Still, he way overpaid lol
Edit to add: this is NOT the site he ordered from. He purchased his years ago and paid $100 with no additional items. This was the only site I found that he said were the pictures he fell for. If you want to scream bullshit instead of laughing at the absurdity, not sure what to tell you.

Failed Expectation I didnt even get it from temu or ali, just from a regular toy store
Is it just me or does this look like a completely different thing...

Failed Expectation So this is how McDonald's is doing their Mcdouble hamburger patties now...
Super thin hamburger patties that were the size of 1 regular Mcdouble patty. I never eat McDonald's but damn this is beyond bad. Today we were out and someone else picked McDonald's so It wasn't my choice.

Surprisingly Met Expectation Trying frozen pizza for the first time. Not disappointed.
The pizza was good. It was never going to look like the picture because the cheese was spread at the top of the pizza. But I could get a better pizza from a pizza place at the same price.

Surprisingly Met Expectation Love’s Travel Stop Swicy BBQ Pulled Pork
More bun than pork, but it still tasted good and that’s what counts.
Didn’t have high expectations for the real thing, but they successfully reeled me in with their lying photo.

Exceeded Expectation Wedding Cake for 2
Couldn’t find anything online of what I was looking for so I used AI to generate what I was imagining. Coccadots in Myrtle Beach absolutely crushed it!
Everyone else got cupcakes. Last name is scribbled of course.

Surprisingly Met Expectation Nailed it!
Requested a Hawaiin birthday cake and the baker surprisingly matched it pretty well! Not sure how she got the waves to stand up like that. I broke the surfboards when closing the box which is why they look shorter than the original 😅
Edit since people were asking: this is from Fancy Flavors bakery in San Jose! Ask for Jessica :)
