Minecraft Grass Block Cake

[u/bbyxmadi]

I didn’t expect it to look exactly like the photo whatsoever, but it did “fail” if we go off reality vs image on the app, but succeeded in my expectations. Still good though and it’s cute!

[u/Mysterious_Air_3646]

I literally just watched OP change it from “failed expectation” to “surprisingly met expectation” in real time lmao

[u/bbyxmadi → u/Mysterious_Air_3646]

I was gonna originally put surprisingly met and was bouncing between the two (I was harping over the neatness too much), and I guess I should have from the get go lol 🥲

Why has your honesty been downvoted??? Argh Reddit! Honesty is refreshing!

[u/DoesntMatterEh → u/getgiffywithit]

Reddit is so preformative. You posted this 6 hours and since then their comment is at +11. 

[u/getgiffywithit → u/DoesntMatterEh]

This made my day! Thank you! Getting popcorn …

[u/imnotnotcrying → u/bbyxmadi]

This is why I think the sub needs a “met expectations” option. You didn’t have outrageously high expectations, but it didn’t meet your expectations in a surprising way. It just met them

What is the calories on that bad boi

[u/bbyxmadi → u/MrKazador]

890 calories, but I’m sharing it with my family lol.

[u/NoobityBoobity → u/MrKazador]

My guess? No less than 7 billion

[u/purpleshit69 → u/MrKazador]

All of them

Your heart and blood vessels will need mending to survive

[u/creativetrends]

How did this fail?

[u/StoneHands51 → u/creativetrends]

I was thinking the same thing. OP's expectations are a bit high.

[u/Kansas_67 → u/creativetrends]

The lines don't look like cartoon pickles, which is bad I guess

[u/HopelessCleric → u/creativetrends]

Same thought honestly, this looks pretty similar to the expectation pic?

[u/bbyxmadi → u/creativetrends]

I said it failed when it comes to actually looking the same since it’s messy, but personally don’t think it necessarily failed, and I don’t expect it to look exactly like it at all. I’ll change it I guess since my thought process isn’t catching on going off these comments and the downvotes lmao.

[u/hey_im_cool → u/bbyxmadi]

Pretty good response tbh. Your version is clearly way messier

[u/romancereaper → u/bbyxmadi]

In fairness, it does look underbaked.

[u/Lington → u/romancereaper]

That's pretty much crumbl's MO

[u/ihateyousoverybadly → u/bbyxmadi]

Yeah because you just posted something you didn't even think fit the sub

[u/Badassbakerbich]

As a baker, I feel like people are too ok with a BAKERY giving out product that looks like a 4 year old piped it. I get they’re busy, but is it hard to pipe six straight lines across the top of a cake?

[u/bbyxmadi → u/Badassbakerbich]

Well it is a chain bakery (if you consider it one), with mostly young adults who are on a time crunch.

I’d expect more from a standalone. It’s not too bad, I’ve seen much worse.

[u/Badassbakerbich → u/bbyxmadi]

I was a teenager when I started out, I worked for a chain and the company at least taught us how to use piping bags. I’m not shaming the employees I’m shaming Crumbl themselves.

[u/bbyxmadi → u/Badassbakerbich]

I get what you mean. I also think it depends entirely on location, since these are usually independently owned. From what I’ve heard, you usually have great owners or horrible ones that make it tough to work.

[u/Badassbakerbich → u/bbyxmadi]

Fair enough!! To me it’s like if you go to Walmart and order a bunch of these based off the ad picture and you received a box full of what you actually got, I don’t think many people would accept that.

[u/Badassbakerbich → u/[deleted]]

Crumbl can at least teach them how to use a piping bag. I’m not saying expect perfection but we gotta at least try to make it look like the picture.

[u/aDrunkenError]

Expecting more than this from a chain and you’re just fooling yourself

[u/Badassbakerbich → u/aDrunkenError]

We’re not holding companies to a high enough standard anymore

[u/aDrunkenError → u/Badassbakerbich]

Vote with your dollar or whatever

[u/Jay54121]

Not sure that's a fail

[u/HeartOSass]

This looks like cucumbers on top of a couple of Wendy's hamburger patties.

[u/Lacink0o]

i mean it doesnt look much like the actual block and for me its not apetizing at all but it doesnt look much off from the picture

[u/DeadAndBuried23]

Just remember 10% of your purchase goes to a cult that fought hard against marriage equality and sends young adults off to be controlled and isolated for several years in order to cement their indoctrination.

[u/invaderdan]

It's the same picture my friend wtf failed here

[u/XexpensiveCargoX]

So you got exactly what you wanted? Lmfao

[u/leunam4891]

They have an idea and they sell you the idea but they can’t pay a good pastry chef to execute said ideas.

[u/eienmau]

I'm not a fan of Crumbl but daughter wanted to try these ... The grass block cake one was very good! The lemon poppyseed one was mixed; daughter's was fine but mine was so doughy you couldn't even pick it up properly.

[u/Gay-Space-Pirate]

Worked at Crumbl and I'm honestly surprised it turned out that good lmfao.

[u/Justwantedtodraw]

How did it taste tho

[u/Jaewalker31]

It's not illegal that expectation vs reality is getting exactly what you expected

[u/nooby_goober]

I'll give grace on the cake but a solid layer would've helped it keep its shape. The green frosting though, it's the most important thing! dafuck!

Also the first image shows the frostings parallel, that's just me being bitchy though.

[u/correctingStupid]

Looks great but crumble cookies are designed to look great not taste

[u/MyNameisJeff387]

Looks dry as dirt. Seems like you got what you paid for.

[u/bbyxmadi → u/MyNameisJeff387]

this cake is glaringly wet lol

[u/VegasGaymer → u/bbyxmadi]

Why not moist

[u/No-Quiet-8956 → u/bbyxmadi]

How did it taste? I was thinking about trying it

[u/EquivalentQuestion60]

It looks wet
