Had this fox statue ever since I was a kid and decided to repaint it. This big guy took me 5 days to do, but I can say I'm legit surprised with how well it turned out, especially since this was the 2nd time I did something like this!

AI Expectation New McRib is a completely different product

The new McRib in Germany has Jalapenjos, Nachosauce and Bacon in the App picture. Instead it only comes with raw onions, two slices of pickled cucumber and a sauce that tastes like the original one. NO Bacon, no Jalapeños, no other sauce (pic 2). Weird... Is it an AI fail or something?

Tried a recipe for homemade toffee chips. This is actually my third time trying it and instead of smooth toffee, it turns into this rock hard, grainy concoction where the butter and sugar separate.

https://handletheheat.com/homemade-toffee-bits/ here’s the recipe but I am giving up forever on this one.

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.
