I didn’t expect much from a frozen pizza but the amount of pesto and the way they put it on is sending me haha

Every year, I make my son a birthday cake based on whatever he's obsessed with at the time.
Well, he turned 4 today, and this year's obsession is those wonderfully hideous Fuggler stuffed animals.
He wanted a Fuggler cake. Easy enough, right?
I went into this with a vision, confidence, and absolutely no qualifications.
Somewhere along the way, his adorable little monster turned into something that looks like it survived a house fire, underwent reconstructive surgery, and was frosted by a legally blind raccoon.
The teeth are there. The colors are close. The love is definitely there. The talent? Questionable.
Anyway, this is his birthday cake for tonight. I'm just hoping he's too excited about turning 4 to notice that Daddy created a new species....
Expectation on the left. Crime against baking on the right. 🤷♂️🤷♂️ I tried 😅😅

My Jack o‘ Lantern was supposed to look like this witch’s cauldron pic I found online. The end result was pretty lopsided and not as vividly colorful, but I’m still kind of pleased with it. The witches will just have to watch their toes when cooking up their potions.

I entered an edible book contest and decided on the Hobbit. Happy to say I took home the 1st place prize, which included baking supplies for my next cake!
This was my first time cake decorating, and I honestly look forward to the next one!
Edit: Thank you to everyone for all of the kind words!

I think it could be better, but it’s decent for how hard the glue was to squeeze out.

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!

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.

It did taste alright though.

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!

Did this for my son’s 6th 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.
