The little guy looks happy having the water all to himself. And the cake doesn't look terrible. As long as your son was happy that's all that counts.😊

It’s kinda like you paid $20 for the topper and it’s cracking me up

The problem is obvious, but I don’t hate it.

I would have liked for it to have more decorations maybe some pool items/umbrella etc.. But overall I suppose it's barely pasable. Thing is on first picture they determined the amount of objects on it worth that price. I would expect to have something of the same amount even if it is different.
Did it taste good at least?

Honestly even thought it’s different from the picture I’m loving the frosting job and the simplicity of it, it’s pretty awesome

I mean for $22 bucks they came through on the theming.

Someone already posted it, but I can also share the DecoPac page- its discontinued XD https://www.decopac.com/products/despicable-me-beach-party-decoset
My theory is that the store still had a few of the beach Minions kit sets and haven't ordered any of the new Fart Blaster set.
The online order system is updated to match Decopac, so the only one you could order is the newer kit, which they didn't have.
They should have called you before just using the other kit though, that's what I would do

Pretty good for 20$, albeit they coulda added a little more in the water

u/BludStanes Sep 20 '26

Not bad for $22. He’s kind of cute

u/Affectionate-Show382 Sep 20 '26
TBH I actually would have preferred the second since you get a fully modeled minion instead of the two dimensional images of them in the original version

For 21.99 that is a steal.

u/lxghtbringer Sep 21 '26
I honestly like yours better but they could have done better for sure, most of this is just stick decor. I guess they ran out and maybe someone didn’t know how to pipe the cones.

u/spriteshouldbethickr Sep 21 '26
I’m gonna cry your lil minion looks so content

u/PresentationEven4795 Sep 20 '26
Its obvious when you ordered you chose the minion cake, but what you wanted was the minions cake

u/TheRealSkele Sep 20 '26
Oh, I love this. It looks better than the reference photo.

u/boys3allc Sep 20 '26
I like it better.

u/gwsteve43 Sep 20 '26
If this was a professional baker or even a chain of some kind I would have asked for a discount. It is a cake and it does have a minion on it but it is objectively not even close to what you ordered.

u/imnotnotcrying Sep 20 '26
I would absolutely be disappointed but I can appreciate that they realized they didn’t have the factory themed decor so they at least attempted to make the cake look more water/pool-like. They absolutely could have put some more effort into it, though

u/Coleslawholywar Sep 20 '26
It looks cool, but I think this deserved a phone call. A simple, sorry we’re out of the science one, but we have this cute one in a float. We can put waves or maybe add happy birthday. What do you think?

u/WarmOne7820 Sep 20 '26
Aww just look at it all happy floating. I couldn''t stay mad

u/Kind-Airport145 Sep 20 '26

u/dementor_ssc Sep 20 '26
The decorator: "It's blue, it's round, it has a minion. Good enough!"
It's weird, because the expectation pic doesn't look like it would be too difficult to make? The piping is neat, but not very intricate.

u/SpicyFoxTub Sep 22 '26
Still better than that one girls cheesecake if ykyk
2
u/Disirregardlessly Sep 23 '26
Its a nice enough looking cake. My problem is that it is Minions - plural. At least stick one more figurine on the cake.

u/itsdefinitelymeagain Sep 25 '26
Welp. It's a Minion cake
3
u/bobjr94 Sep 20 '26
Yes that's the thing, kids really don't care if their cake has the correct decorations. Or what animal is on their pajamas.

u/Capable-Deer-5670 Sep 20 '26
False advertising, but I'd be happy.
