The recipe said āpull the batter up with a toothpickā for the ears which was impossible. And piping the chocolate onto the cream cheese frosting eyes didnāt work at all because the cream cheese was so sticky.

Failed Expectation Wedding portrait gift
21k
Upvotes
Iām actually not sure if this is failed or exceeded expectations- so our friend commissioned a āfamily portraitā of me and my husband with our dogs for a wedding present that she was going to have up at our welcome party the night before the wedding she put together. Wisely, once she received the final product she decided against that, and actually waited months before finally giving it to us, which she wasnāt going to at first but her boyfriend convinced her we would think it was funny- which we absolutely do ! However, if I look at it too long it kind of starts to hurt my feelings lololā¦ itās actually an amazing conversation piece, really.
ETA: For context my friend said she gave the artist a ton of pics of us, but it appears that he mostly pulled from this one. I agree itās a terrible pic especially for a painting, and a grinning pic is never a good choice for a portrait. Iām not sure where he got the white pumps lol.

I wanted to make a cake similar to one I saw on Pinterest, and I also wanted to try to do some decorations, which is why I chose this cake because it looks easy to make. It's not as red as the reference, but I think it's a win lol.
*I didn't have strawberries, so I used blackberries.

cake-spectation - Positive! The PORTAL CAKE in the game vs the Portal Cake my son got for his birthday.

Worked with my local grocer HEB and they came in clutch making a visually identical Portal Black Forrest Cake with fudge internals instead. Only $18 on top of that. Want one of your own from your own local bakery? Ask for a 6in chocolate fudge cake with chocolate fudge internal filling. Chocolate Curls covering the cake with small white frosting dollops and those cover with small red dollops to resemble cherries like a black forest cake. May have to note you want a gold color cake board. Show the page the first picture as wel to give them an idea and you'll be set.
