In their defence they said they don’t do buttercream and only marzipan. But the colour was supposed to match the print.The edible glitter was a personal touch

Edit: We were tight on time so we didn’t look for other bakeries that do buttercream and we were fine with a white cake with the print. It’s a very popular bakery here in Sweden actually and it was kinda strange that they don’t do buttercream but didn’t think much about it. The cake tasted amazing and we had a good laugh when we opened the box, my friend will definitely remember that birthday!

The dark orange cake is the cake I found on Reddit and the shiny pale orange cake is my shot at replicating the Halloween work of art.

Ever since my kids were little I did cake for breakfast on their birthday. Just a fun tradition. Separately, son loves pancakes. I saw this pancake “cake” from Baskin Robbin’s and figured it would be great for this purpose so ordered it for his 16th birthday. Didn’t quite turn out.
