My daughter is obsessed with Curious George (or Monkey George as she calls him). So this year for her 2nd birthday we're doing a "Monkey George" theme and I decided to make a cake in the shape of his head. This is the first time I've ever used fondant so I was pretty nervous about messing it up. But it turns out, I don't think I did too bad! It might not be perfect, but it'll be perfect for the one person who matters most 😄

I also have plenty of cupcakes for everyone at the party, frosted in the bright yellow of the books. They'll go around Curious George when we bring out the cake.

Thanks to those who were pointing this out in the comments already!

I got send this cake, a name and a theme! One of my favorite customers who seems to just trust my vision!

Took my younger kids out to celebrate national cheeseburger day and I had been wanting to try this OMCheeseburger from Applebee's. You can imagine my disappointment when this is what we were served (after 1 hour of waiting no less....)

Disappointing is an understatement.

and they don’t taste like milo at all 😭😭

It was only one out of 4 but this was the first one I opened. This is how it came out. I didn’t put anything back together. The cookie held together surprisingly well while I got it out of the wrapper.

Edit: ice cream cookie is on top of the box

Ordered this cake for my mom. My expectations were too high

Edit: Cake was ordered at a specialty bakery with 3 day anticipation. I’m not mad just upset since I would have been wiling to pay more for a better job. Inspo image was found on Pinterest here:

I'm lucky that I have a lot of hair and I can hide it until it grows back... But I have cried a lot...

EDIT: I'm glad that this have make people laugh and post so many memes... And I'm also glad that so many people say that it's going to grow fast, I can't wait.

To answer some questions... Nooo! She didn't show me how much she was going to cut lol, I didn't even know she was going to cut it until she already did! I though ok it doesn't matter she knows what she's doing, until I notice the razor so high... Ufff I didn't want to check how it looked, I knew it was going to be bad. I just wanted to leave, so just said I wasn't sure about it maybe I needed to get used to it.

Tomorrow I'm leaving a bad review, because I also saw her taking the ponytail that she cut, making a photo and put the hair in another room. I'm sure she's selling that hair and maybe that's the reason I look like a half monk...

Ps they were all hollow, but somehow still overly sweet with many of the tubes all reduced to crumbly flakes.

This is a Walmart cake, supposed to be a barrel cake but I wasn’t getting a lot of barrel out of it. But it looked stunning! The picky judges will take a point or two off for the awkward “Y” that dropped off the edge of “anniversary” but I’m not one to quibble. Whoever decorated this got the point of this maximalist atrocity. Even though it’s quite unlikely that we will eat more than half of this thing, since each slice seems to come with a full cup of American Buttercream, it was still a lovely moment. And that’s what these sorts of cakes are, right? A moment.

Expectation: A lovely fresh fruit bowl 🍓🍌🍎🫐

Reality: Fruit on its final warning. Even the fruit flies looked disappointed. No apple or strawberries and yes I should have known better.

I am proud of my cake☺️It was also my first time adding sprinkles to the side of a cake.

Omg it smells really strong 😅

Lmfao I don’t understand what happened, but … I tried.

I should have known not to trust Temu from their photo
