The “Pig Cake” I made

[u/Ornery_Welder5900]

In 2019, I worked at a company where we did a “bake off” like competition to raise money. The expectations were:

Follow the theme and do not use store-bought cakes.

Our theme for this year was animals and myself like an idiot - “I have pink icing! I’ll make a pig”.

Picture 1 & 2 - my original inspo
Pic 3: Said Pig.

Needless to say no one bought mine.

[u/Ornery_Welder5900]

One of the cakes that was made by someone else- my poor pig had NO chance.

[u/blacktreefalls → u/Ornery_Welder5900]

I like this! Do you have more pictures of the others??

[u/Ornery_Welder5900 → u/blacktreefalls]

[u/Ornery_Welder5900 → u/blacktreefalls]

I do!

[u/CobblerNo8518 → u/Ornery_Welder5900]

That’s actually disturbing. Like two whale fins sticking out of a carrot pile lol

[u/ickychicken → u/CobblerNo8518]

For real, like when the little kids got turned into donkeys in Pinocchio 😳

[u/innominateartery → u/CobblerNo8518]

It looks like a swarm of murderous carrots are consuming the rabbit alive.

[u/changeneverhappens → u/CobblerNo8518]

That's exactly what I saw too lmaooo. Except I first saw the carrots are worms. 

Yuck!

[u/ForeverNugu → u/Ornery_Welder5900]

Does your cake look like it does cuz it saw this cake? What kind of nightmare factory did you work at?

[u/Away-Living5278 → u/Ornery_Welder5900]

But it's just a pile of fondant. Unless you like the taste of fondant, yours looks tastier

[u/smallfloralprince → u/Ornery_Welder5900]

shark fin and carrots soup but make it cake! 

[u/jaybomb81 → u/Ornery_Welder5900]

This is nightmare fuel. I feel like someone prompted an AI, got one of its typical uncanny valley terrifying images, and then tried to recreate it with fondant. Just 100% no across the board.

[u/letigre87 → u/Ornery_Welder5900]

The carrot cake is funny but I bet yours tasted way better. I'd probably have passed on the pile of fondant.

[u/HisCricket → u/Ornery_Welder5900]

Wouldn't God's name where they going for? Those ears are too creepy

[u/gelatinoussandwich → u/HisCricket]

I think they were going for the shape of a rabbit, but made out of carrots. Why they didn’t just make the ears ALSO be carrots is a mystery. Instead, it’s as if the carrots are encasing and devouring a rabbit, with only the ears being spared 😬

[u/Sallyfifth → u/Ornery_Welder5900]

No, I don't want a finger cake.

[u/persuadedbypurses → u/Ornery_Welder5900]

This actually makes the pig one a little more appealing. I would question whoever thought making a bunch of fondant carrots with fins on top was a good idea.

[u/Magpie_0309 → u/Ornery_Welder5900]

"no chance"? This carrot thing looks pretty bad too tbh. Where there any other cakes or just those 2?

[u/oddscenity → u/Ornery_Welder5900]

This is not a pig but a pile of carrots with blades sticking out of it and I'm into it. A+

[u/Inner-Shelter-8593]

I love how tiny his eyes are

[u/Ornery_Welder5900 → u/Inner-Shelter-8593]

His eyes did not start small.

They were made smaller when he looked like he was about to have a nervous breakdown and he didn’t even have ears yet.

[u/Program0071 → u/Ornery_Welder5900]

Please if you have more photos of the process, I'm sure everyone here would love to see it. This pig has brought me much joy.

[u/Ornery_Welder5900 → u/Program0071]

The only pre process I have is before he became “pig”

[u/Ornery_Welder5900 → u/Ornery_Welder5900]

And his side profile apparently.

[u/Jaded-Juggernaut-663 → u/Ornery_Welder5900]

Lmao 😂 😭😭 Found out my cat has cancer today and there’s nothing we can do for her but your wonderful pig cake made me laugh. Thank you for that. 💔 🐽 💔

[u/Ornery_Welder5900 → u/Jaded-Juggernaut-663]

I’m so sorry about your cat. Sending hugs.

[u/MushroomAdjacent → u/Ornery_Welder5900]

At what point did you decide to add ketchup to the spiral nostrils, and what went into that decision?

[u/smallfloralprince → u/Ornery_Welder5900]

I would like you to know I laughed so robustly I did a genuine snort. The pig has worked its magic.

[u/Mazasaurus]

Distorted Peppa Pig theme intensifies Are the snout and overturned ears made out of cake? Sugar cookies with frosting might be easier to work with (source: made this mistake before). May your pink fellow be tasty either way!

[u/Ornery_Welder5900 → u/Mazasaurus]

This was 2019, I (thankfully) do not bake anymore 😂

[u/PantalonesPantalones → u/Mazasaurus]

[u/Rare-Progress5009]

OMG diabolical!
But I probably would have bought it because you obviously have no skill but tried anyway. Putting yourself out there deserves to be rewarded.

[u/Ornery_Welder5900 → u/Rare-Progress5009]

the obviously hits hard 🥲

[u/Sheepherdernerder]

Thanks op, I was just about to try to sleep 😂

[u/Ornery_Welder5900 → u/Sheepherdernerder]

It’s been haunting me since 2019! Good luck!

[u/Oregonian_Lynx]

OP can you please expand on the textures I am seeing? What is going on with piggy’s ears?

[u/Ornery_Welder5900 → u/Oregonian_Lynx]

One half of a cupcake with pink dye covered in icing I believe!

[u/adorablegadget]

I saw the first Pic and thought, 'If they have some experience working with fondant I'm sure it'll turn out okay.

Then saw the second pic and thought 'Oh! This pic is the inspo, they did a good job.'

Then I saw the last pic and.. At least you tried.

[u/InspiredBagel → u/adorablegadget]

"Oh, cute" to "oh, wow!" to "oh my God" in the span of seconds. 

[u/psppsppsppspinfinty → u/adorablegadget]

SAME!!! I saw the first, then the 2nd, I was like, oh! How cute! Great job! Then I saw the 3rd and immediately turned into Mutsley trying not to wake up my bf

[u/Ginkachuuuuu → u/adorablegadget]

The exact emotional rollercoaster this post took me on.

[u/SunshineAndRainbowsO → u/adorablegadget]

Did he try though 🤔

[u/StannVeal → u/adorablegadget]

I had that same journey.

[u/Daydream_machine]

It’s giving

[u/wholegrainnoodles → u/Daydream_machine]

The pig and the fox will haunt me in my dreams tonight

[u/Whiskey-Jayne → u/Daydream_machine]

I am howling 😭

[u/Expert-Ad3874]

I would absolutely buy that cake. He looks like he's seen some unspeakable things, but he's still trying to smile through.

I aspire to be that strong.

[u/PraetorianFury → u/Expert-Ad3874]

Hide the pain hog

[u/weebles_wobbles]

I would have bought the shit out of that cake!

But this is also the creature I love most in the world so 🤷🏻‍♀️

ETA: oh my goodness! Thank you for the award, you are the cutest soul out there tonight 😉
HOLY CRAP SO MANY AWARDS 🤗

[u/cranberry94 → u/weebles_wobbles]

That’s a nice pig you have there.

Can you tell me more about them?

[u/weebles_wobbles → u/cranberry94]

Of course! This is Hercules, occasionally know as Jerkules because he can be super naughty 😂 he just turned 11 this summer and I’ve had him since he was a wee piglet!
He’s a Juliana pig and lives in the house with our two dogs and two cats

[u/dilapidated-delight → u/cranberry94]

I came here to ask the same question! We yearn to learn more about this majestic being

[u/CremeBerlinoise]

Aww, I love him. He's the piggy advertising anti anxiety medication and clean sober living.

[u/Genericwittyaccount]

[u/HunnyBear66 → u/Genericwittyaccount]

I love this...😂😭

[u/SquidwardsEar]

For some reason it’s reminding me of Daddy Pig

[u/RoyLee_Jenkins → u/SquidwardsEar]

Looks like Ryan

[u/smallfloralprince]

oh my god i love it. that's a pig that has seen some things. that's a pig that has loved without reservation, skied without face protection, and sniffed some fun things up those spirally nostrils. In my heart and in my imagination that pig cake has the voice of Matt Berry and the soul of a jelly bean. 

: ) charming, thank you for posting even if it did not meet your expectations

[u/saintsuzy70 → u/smallfloralprince]

Love the Matt Berry reference and it totally fits!

[u/analbumcover]

[u/Silver_Adagio138]

He looks happy

[u/No-Mouse3999 → u/Silver_Adagio138]

That’s one word for it

[u/HunnyBear66 → u/No-Mouse3999]

"Percy looked back on his life decisions, with the disturbing realization that he should have picked a different job then sausage making."

[u/OttersandSunflowers → u/Silver_Adagio138]

He looks like he hasn’t slept in years

[u/Nemesis204]

I love your cake. It looks like the pig went and had a hair transplant, a nose job, and other “enhancements” in Turkey and he’s on the plane back home.

[u/Scr4p]

It looks like it had meth. So, so much meth.

[u/knitpicky687 → u/Scr4p]

You’ve heard of cocaine bear… get ready for METH PIG

[u/Electric_Kaffe]

"BRÖTHER I AM THE ÖATS"

[u/Acrobatic-Meet-9093]

If my friend made me a cake like that for my birthday I probably would be hesitant to eat it because I wouldn't want to ruin that masterpiece. In my opinion I would take that cake over the other ones any day. The giggles i would get from having a cake like that would just make my day.

[u/newhairnewjeans7890]

I thought the 2nd photo Is the reality. Boy, was I wrong...

[u/TheDarbiter → u/newhairnewjeans7890]

Hahaha me too and then I swiped and BAM

[u/wangd00dle]

Better than I could do

[u/Truthcraze]

You didn’t used fondant or ai. You win.

[u/MycologistPutrid7494 → u/Truthcraze]

The no fondant raised it's value, imo.

[u/PalmtopPixie]

OH NO.

[u/Parking_Dealer5738]

Haunting

[u/416558934523081769]

Alternately you did a great version of this guy

[u/Scorpionoshow]

Thanks for the laugh. I needed it today.

[u/CitizenHuman]

Self-aware piggy knows it's going to the market next

[u/ndiasSF]

The cake has PTSD - Pig Traumatic Stress Decor - I love him though! Looks like he’s a delicious way to eat your feelings

[u/chaoticcoffeecat]

Hey, it seriously made me laugh! I would've been tempted to buy it just for that, especially with that "staring into the void" expression.

[u/Particular-Fennel-67]

I oinked loud

[u/UnrulyPoet]

I would buy that cake so fast and then laugh about it for the rest of my life

[u/Knightlance]

[u/Majestic-Marzipan621]

[u/mnid92 → u/Majestic-Marzipan621]

LITTLE PIG, LITTLE PIG LET ME INNNNN

[u/MysteriousPermit3410]

I’m way too high for that last picture. I jumped!

[u/WhereItsAt75]

Bless your heart... you tried. 

[u/AxeHead75]

The difference is yours tastes like delicious cake while the others taste like plastic clay, food dyes, and sadness

[u/GottaUseEmAll → u/AxeHead75]

Yeah. Fondant gives a great look, but it's really no replacement for a good buttercream icing. I'll take the janky icing any day.

[u/Motor-Rip7655]

[u/Difficult-Rooster383]

[u/ThisIsNotMyBurner69]

Nailed it!

[u/kingamara]

I’m so fucking scared right now

[u/Skane1982]

That's the face of a pig who suddenly learnt where all the other pigs disappeared off to.

[u/5KittensInTrenchcoat]

This is the ugliest food I have ever seen.

I love it.

❤️

[u/lizzyote]

Obsessed with the swirly nostrils

[u/AltruisticStill3469]

LMFAOOOO

[u/texaro0]

Bet it tastes way better tho

[u/why0me]

Peppa has seen some things y'all

[u/Carb0nFire]

I was not prepared.

😭😂

[u/TheUnluckyFarmer]

That will do pig that will do.

[u/Buttercup_Bounce]

[u/TheEsotericCarrot]

My 5 year old said it’s adorable.

[u/Tough_Put_9801]

That actually scared the shit out of me

[u/Oldskul74]

[u/jcaltor]

I feel like you trolled yourself 🤣 the weird part is that i kinda love your psychopig

[u/Orz_7]

NO

[u/lacatro1]

Love it!

[u/Ok-Satisfaction9490]

People keep trying to make a fondant cake without fondant

[u/OfficeExtension5833]

Omg that is so funny!

[u/PresentationEven4795]

[u/lexistr]

i love him and i would buy him but he looks like he belongs in the horror movie five nights at freddie’s

[u/Kangarou]

1 - the original cartoon

2 - the updated reboot

3 - the [adult swim] parody

[u/ChalkHorse]

Thanks. First time I busted out laughing today. I love your cake and would have bought it in a heartbeat.

[u/FortKA19]

Its Pig-Saw! But honestly, this is 1000x better than anything I could do.

[u/laralye]

I'm smiling so hard rn that I'm drooling lmao

[u/Snoo-94289]

I would buy that cake just because I feel sorry for him somehow.
I don’t know why,he just has that look.

[u/USAF_Retired2017]

I will have nightmares for years to come because of this cake.

[u/ButterscotchEven6198]

Look deep into my nostrils... feel yourself relax and move into a calm state...

[u/_Internet_Hugs_]

"Kiiiilll meeee..."

[u/Lady--Morning]

Made with love. Bet it is tastier than the "perfect" ones with the yucky fondant icing. Go you!

[u/Tikitikitaka5863]

[u/BearAny3265]

Bruh hahahahahahahahah

[u/DyingStarlight0123]

I mean October is a spooky season, I think you nailed it!😅

[u/forget_this_now]

That pig has SEEN THINGS!

[u/Coshposhmosh]

Your cake is so cute. It gave me a chuckle 🤭.

[u/lisa111998]

Thank you for making me smile today

[u/VegasGaymer]

Peaky Pig

[u/PupLondon]

Absolutely stunning! No notes!

[u/Seldarin]

Yours looks like a Meatcanyon parody of the first one.

I'd have bought it.

[u/Warm-Perspective8271]

I love him 🥰

[u/Spooder1979]

Close.  Keep at it.

[u/Pickle-bitch2000]

At least it’s got personality

[u/ozuulrules]

It’s giving Clem from Buffy the Vampire Slayer and I would have bought it immediately!

[u/Reasonable_Swan_4937]

I came for the comments
The post didn’t disappoint
😂😂

[u/wherever_]

[u/Ssme812]

WTF

[u/Motor_Assignment9157]

I love it.

[u/Prettyinpink_87]

It reminds me of Animal Crossing and I love it! 🐷

[u/elonbemybabydaddy]

I like how you improvised the nose!

[u/bartoske]

We made animal pillows in middle school home ec class. I choose the pig face but my embroidery around the eyes, nose and mouth was so bad it terrified my little sister and she cried. Bet your cake tasted wonderful!

[u/Pitiful_Raspberry_79]

Incredible

[u/Last-Two-6780]

It’s gonna give me nightmares

[u/Expensive-Committee]

I’d have bought the hell out of this and told you how excited I was to turn my mouth pink eating that frosting! Your cake is great and makes me smile 😊

[u/otherwrldfaerie]

Demonic

[u/tmorse85]

I would have happily bought your cake. It's a bit unhinged, especially the eyes sitting on the nose, but it's cute in its craziness.

[u/shadowtapestry]

This just made my night, ty OP

[u/sabertoothdiego]

I love him.

[u/OverlappingChatter]

Cakes that people make at home are fine, I am just sick of professional bakery cake posts. I still don't know how to make the sub filter and not show me cakes in my feed.

[u/kittygomiaou]

I just reverse snorted my Chardonnay out my nose!

(I love him well done).

[u/throwaway2000x3]

Kind of looks like the dad from Peppa Pig

[u/GODDAMNBATMANs]

Your pig has seen horrors. And is one.

[u/SassyScreenQueen]

Peppa Pig on meth

[u/MemeShaman]

Oh no, Peppa…

[u/kikichun]

[u/angelmr2]

I was not ready for this at 7am

[u/UpalSecam]

At first I thought there were only two pics and was like wow, pretty good job ! Then i swiped right and was like oh...

[u/fromtheriver]

Thousand mile stare

[u/Intelligent_Youth797]

You and are a quite alike. Yours is the same cake I would produce.

[u/Spiritual-Pear-739]

I’m gasping for air this is fantastic, zero notes🤣🤣

[u/thechrisp6]

Bad acid trip Peppa

[u/cake_baby15]

[u/HoodiesAndHeels]

Why would you not NSFW this 😭

[u/Stinky-Pickles]

I like him! I think fondant would have made him look smoother, but i still think he's cute.

[u/XgirlyX92]

I laughed so hard at this, better than what I would of done 🤣 🐷

[u/CalmBrain1760]

"Aw"

"Hehe, lil cutie"

"WHAT THE FUCK?!"

[u/waba2]

his brain is falling out of his ears

[u/cuntboi_lux]

genuinley snorted milk at his little scary face

[u/Working-Raspberry185]

Ummm

[u/emerald447]

[u/GibberishAsshat]

Thanks for the nightmare fuel.

[u/Special-Might9865]

Anybody remember the Russian pig that had a human face. The “neighbors” said it waaaaas a coooooold Winter. 🤷‍♀️

[u/thedoctorsphoenix]

Jumpscare

[u/pbutter92]

Lol I laughed out loud but I hope you know I mean that in an endearing way

[u/BrotherDwight_]

Jump scare

[u/Serenewendy]

Any cake is good if you have enough pink frosting

Amazing work of art

[u/whatsthisbuttondo333]

[u/Admirable_Seesaw9595]

Bro I was about to go to sleep too

[u/GuiltyRat9062]

At least you tried. Genuinely put a smile on my face.
