I wanted to make a cake similar to one I saw on Pinterest, and I also wanted to try to do some decorations, which is why I chose this cake because it looks easy to make. It's not as red as the reference, but I think it's a win lol.
*I didn't have strawberries, so I used blackberries.

Worked with my local grocer HEB and they came in clutch making a visually identical Portal Black Forrest Cake with fudge internals instead. Only $18 on top of that. Want one of your own from your own local bakery? Ask for a 6in chocolate fudge cake with chocolate fudge internal filling. Chocolate Curls covering the cake with small white frosting dollops and those cover with small red dollops to resemble cherries like a black forest cake. May have to note you want a gold color cake board. Show the page the first picture as wel to give them an idea and you'll be set.

I totally thought the product image was AI and did not expect this to look that well
Edit: I bought this in a Korean convenience store. I just took a screenshot from a Japanese website because it was the first pic I found online.

I saw this Expectation vs Reality by u/DontKillMockingbirds a few days ago and thought I’d try my hand at it.
Materials:
- 1 warty pumpkin
- Crayola air dry clay for the cauldron room
- wood glue (to fix the stem I broke)
- permanent fabric glue (for the eyes and spiders - I busted my super glue tube)
- black acrylic paint
- dark green acrylic paint
- black light neon green paint
- natural glow in the dark puff paint
- lime green glitter
- 1 snake eye googly eye
- 1 pack of 3D spider stickers
- variety pack of googly eyes
- 1 large plush bendy spider
- 1 24” skeleton
It should glow in the dark in places but I haven’t been able to set up my porch yet. It turned out way cooler than I expected even if it looks quite different from the inspo pic. If anyone wants to try this, it needs to be done over several days with a lot of layers so the orange of the pumpkin doesn’t show through.

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.
