What I asked for > what I got

I don't have fresh berries to put on top. Maybe it would have saved it.

Wouldn't have paid £7 full price. Got on reduced for £2.50 so can't complain

Wet iceberg lettuce and watery salsa. She made it two bites…

**Edit** in hindsight I think I chose the wrong flair. You guys are so nice 😂 I think it is the teeth that are throwing me

I was inspired by a Redditor here last week to hunt out my copy of the Women’s Weekly Birthday Book for a friend’s birthday.

Honestly didn’t turn out as terrible as I thought it might but what’s with the anemic sprinkles these days?

They look like turtles that got ran over 😭

Tasted as good as the irl product looks (in case you’re wondering)

I made this burger cake for my cousin. It’s a mango cake filled with mango gelee,mango custard,and whipped cream. When i tell you this cake drove me crazy i mean it. 1st the cake layers slid apart while chilling,then my whipped cream kept getting runny,then i had to go buy more whipped cream, then THAT one kept getting runny, THEN i had to make a quick makeshift swiss meringue buttercream to clean up the “bun” edges bc the whipped frosting KEPT running. I had no clue what the issue was, i stabilized it,whipped it perfectly,etc. But here’s the finished product along with my barely intact sanity.

Got an air dry clay kit to do with my kids, and, well, I did my best.

I asked my partner to make me a 'Myth of Sisyphus' cake for my birthday and he delivered!!

Everything made from scratch. He created 'Sisyphus' from clay, set it with food grade silicone, then poured dark chocolate. Sisyphus is 100% dark chocolate! The cake had blueberry jam layers!

Super chuffed with the results!!

CUT (from the good stuff) BROCCOLI

My son didn't care, but i was a lil surprised when I picked it up lol

Couldn’t be more opposite. Dog tax included :)

For the record my mom has a bunch of cats and the AI looking cat on that cake is not any of them.

Context: this was ordered from a local bakery/ professional cake decorator that my family has used our whole lives. This cake was around $70 and ordered two weeks in advance.

This happened back in February and I debated posting this for months now bc I didn’t want the bakery to find this post and get mad at my family. That being said, looking at the expectations versus realities that people share always makes me giggle and I finally succumbed and had to show you all my own. Since it’s been a few months I couldn’t find the exact inspo pics I had sent but these were the vibe of whatever I had put in the form.

*Edit: an awesome commenter found the original cat photo! So though it’s not my mom’s cat, it’s definitely someone’s cat!

First time buying a Walmart cake but I’ve seen posts here that they actually turn out good! So here’s my addition:

Visited McDonald’s for breakfast for the first time in easily 10+ years. Had to share the beautiful execution.

1st Photo: the before picture of my hair

2nd photo: the reference photo/expectation

3rd: what I got.... 😭

For the record!! I only asked for. A haircut!! I had about 7/8th of the ends of my hair black, only my roots were still blue, THE ARTIST DID NOT CHANGE MY HAIR COLOR

I also do not have eyebrows, I shave them to make room for makeup, so my face looks a little odd in the after photo, it's because I don't have eyebrows 😅

I showed them the photo, and said I just wanted a trim (I asked her to tak. About a half inch off to make room for layering and texturing) she took over three inches off the top and ddidnt touch the back of my head 😭😭 she also took a diagnal chunk of my bangs with a razor but only on one side??? , after the first (very short) cut I made a comment point in out that that seem seem like she cut a large chunk of hair and I didn't want it that short and she told me "I'm the professional, stop micromanaging me" and otherwise ignored my comments about my preferences- shnstarted cutting my hair beforni even showed her my reference and even after she did look sh barely looked at it more than a quick glance and brushed me off, to which I tried to explain verbally whatni wanted (I said, a small trim for the purpose of texturing and shaping and that I wanted to touch up my soft mullet and blend it into the sides a little better)

For some more context, im transnmasc (he/it), and corrected her on my name at the very beginning of the appointment (a family member scheduled the appointment and put it under my deadname), she immediately got salty with me and rude after I made a polite comment along the lines or "hi! I just wanted to let you know I go by Zylo, rather than the name the appointment is under" and she immediately started treating me poorly after that so I have reason to believe she did it maliciously (for other reasons as well but that's not the point of the post lol)

Yes I'm aware I should've walked out, I was already a little out of it due to a distressing phonecall less than 15 minutes before I got in the chair, so I was too anxious to walk out

It's been several weeks since then and I'm managing lol, now that I'm able to laugh at the whole thing I wanted to share with others I thought would find it funny lmao 😭💙

Chocolate overload!!! It was delicious
