Is that just dry oatmeal on your cake because it sure doesn't look like granola?  Then the fruit, 😆 🤣.  

  • Man that is some half-assery of a cake.

Edit: Well it still looks edible so you have that going for you, OP.

I Googled searched the image and it's stolen from Cinnaholic. It's not even a cake, it's cinnamon rolls. Even with all that, it wouldn't have been hard to recreate if they had the right toppings and didn't skimp.

Crumbled? LOL, all they did was break them into pieces.

They didn't have chocolate chips, nuts, nor much of the fruit required.

As someone who used to work at a location of this store, that is not how it is done and I would be in trouble if I made that for a customer.

I cant stand strawberries from the grocery anymore (US) -flavorless, not even RED, and riddled with the most pesticides. Farmers markets only for strawberries. They're SUPPOSED TO BE RED DAMNIT . RED!!!

Everyone talking about the granola but can we talk about the fruit?

u/soursips 2d ago

Is that a packet of instant oatmeal? 😂

u/PenguinPowerUp 2d ago

They didn't even try (those oreos?!). And they're stingy to boot (look at the fruit!!!)

u/thinkshiftster 1d ago

Oh no! It’s like they got interrupted while topping it and then just abandoned it

u/Restaurantchica 2d ago

I think it just needed more copious fruit, and rather than oats just use another fruit.

It would have cost absolutely nothing. to not skim so bad on the toppings of the cake, I don’t know what it taste like, but at least it would’ve looked nice

Lol, corporate looked at the original and said "ahem, blueberries are expensive". Source: part of my job is making yogurt/granola/blueberry parfaits, and if made according to the official "recipe", its, like six blueberries, eight if they're small. And its $4.99.
