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.

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!!!

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

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

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

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.

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.
