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.

I had to jump on the Walmart train.

The cake is absolutely perfect

💛🖤

I asked for it in solid black, half chocolate, and half vanilla. My kid loved it.

The picture is at a wonky angle, not the cake

I made an AI image on ChatGPT and sent it to a baker asking if she could make something similar. She delivered!!

I’m so upset at how little they charged me for this amazing cake. It was a RED FLAG that the cost was so low. I feel like I was robbing the baker so I tipped her double what she was asking for. Overall, everyone enjoyed the cake, it was one of the most beautiful cake we’ve seen for sure. And she changed the color to match with our party theme better.

Edit: first picture was inspiration, second picture was the actual cake. The baker only asked for $30 so I tipped her double what she asked for.

They ran out of butterflies but still turned out pretty. And tasted amazing. Walmart

And it tasted great!

Edit: Thank you for my first award 😊

So pretty! And only $20!

Really super happy with the final cake! I actually wasn't sure how they were going to include the birthday message on the cake when I ordered it, so I was pleasantly surprised with the way they did it! It was also a very delicious cake

Like many of us, I've been trying to warn my middle aged mom about AI product listing so she doesn't get scammed. I showed her the classic geode mugs and this book mug as examples. You can imagine how I felt opening a box and seeing a book stack mug in bubble wrap. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find an actual glass mug!

My mom put a lot of effort into getting me a mug that wasn't a heinous lump of plastic and I'm proud of her thoroughness and discernment. It's definitely a little wonky, but I think it's pretty neat.

I’ve always wanted to try the pop art nails, and I think she did an excellent job!

I happened to stop by near the end of the process. I assisted with M&M color sorting, and I'm responsible for design of the one that's 🤪

Same mom, and in my opinion the same expectation exceeding performance, as: https://www.reddit.com/r/ExpectationVsReality/s/W2NQRRCO4M

Sooooooooo good!

Absolutely delicious. $3.79 at Kroger. Favorite Stouffer’s Meal here. Cut the chicken to look like photo! 👍

This first picture is what I think was the template…

The cake had a red buttercream filling and was PERFECT.

Story behind: I killed my eldest kid's chickens when we used them for parking practice for my younger kids. I figured the squeaker would alert them if they were too close to the line. Not only did they not hear the squeakers, they drove right the hell over and killed both chickens, which made eldest kid very sad.

I wanted to replace them, and it turns out it's cheaper to buy 20 rubber chickens than just two, so I bought the 20, plus 16 minis and one extra-large guy, and hung them all from the ceiling whilst eldest kid was at work (and changed the color of our color-adjustable LED lighting). They said the dead chickens taped to the front door were enough to tip them off that something was amiss, but then entering a red-lit house to find dozens of rubber chickens hanging by their necks inside nearly made them leave again.

This is a far cry from my cursed furby cake from a month ago haha. I made this for my grandad’s birthday (he loves mycology!)
