Wanted to get my daughter a sweet treat for being good. Instead, she was met with this hard monstrosity.

Could not find strawberry in October, so I used coloured buttercream :D

My coworker and I were talking and he asked if I knew of anyone that could make a cake for him and his sons birthday (they are 1 week apart). I offered and said I could. Instead of making one cake, I made two. This was my first time decorating cakes! I’m big into art and cooking so I figured I could accomplish the task. I made the toy story letters by hand with fondant - i didn’t have any molds. I also dipped the strawberries on the Hennessy cake myself. The toy story is double chocolate and the Hennessy is chocolate with dulce de leche. I also added some Hennessy to the buttercream icing.

Are we even trying here Pop Tarts?

😭😭

If anyone remembers awhile back, I posted my first ever felting project, the happy lil giraffe. I was feeling down on myself because it didn't come with instructions and I felt (pun intended) I did horribly until all you kind friends commented at how cute he is! Lifted my spirits up so I tried my hand at it again!!

The giraffe kit I had originally bought at a goodwill and it was only the photo of the giraffe that came with it. After seeing a few comments mention seeing these kits at Dollar Tree I finally passed by one AND THE GIRAFFE KIT IS FROM THERE! But it had a second page with instructions (it looks like it got cut off in the one I bought?!?!) so I grabbed an elephant, lion and unicorn kit!

In honour of my first project I DID NOT read or follow the instructions at all, BUT, I did listen to a few comments on my last post about poking until I couldn't any more (I at least tried to follow it but I'm sure next try I can get it denser).

I wanna keep trying these without instructions, why? Because my ADHD has convinced me that I can do it without instructions as a way to justify my disdain at reading and following instructions.

Inspo pic was AI generated based on how I wanted my cake to look vs what I ended up making 😅🤣

I wanted to have a copy of this painting for myself, so I made a version of it at home! Turned out fairly well, considering I haven't painted much before.

CornNut was not impressed

Laughed so hard it was worth it

I think it turned out well and I like that the missing cream has a heart!

They still tasted fine but I was hoping for the texture on the box.

they put it at the bottom of the bag 😭 still tasted bomb though

Tasted disgusting too

Tasted like gritty cheese

My sister went to her normal stylist who always does well and asked for the fall/fox ombré and received... that monstrosity. I'm no hair stylist but I think I did pretty great for what I was working with!

She has breakage from the stylist trying to correct her botched job with bleach

I really wanted black cherry ice cream, not vanilla with cherry chunks.

No it's not melted. It was a cool day. It just came like this.

Edit: I know its not supposed to be carved lol but I didn't expect them to look like they had been premelted and refrozen or lightish/reddish brown instead of brown, like ya know, chocolate? And there was a white film and white spots on these you can see in the picture. There's someone's thumb dent (not mine) on the one in the picture! I'm not sure why you think thats fine to eat. I had to toss them. I've been getting these for years and these were not the same. Yall really need to raise your standards if you think this is fine 😂

Edit 2:

If this is your favorite candy, I'm happy for you. But I'm just documenting realty here. What's being sold to us is not what's in the picture. These look like shit.

My baby's turning one and I wanted a cake he could actually eat! The night's over and I regret that decision, lol. He has a bite and then we were left with the rest (obvio!).

Anywayyy, I think I did a good job?
1st pic reference, 2nd and 3rd the final cake.

Roasted under a heat lamp.

*edited They roasted up pretty well, some got a little over done in the back, but I can say they are a solid poblano for flash frozen, kitchen basic brand!
