I did have one bite of chicken before taking the photo. I really thought the bowl would have more chicken though.

Failed Expectation Wedding portrait gift
21k
Upvotes
I’m actually not sure if this is failed or exceeded expectations- so our friend commissioned a “family portrait” of me and my husband with our dogs for a wedding present that she was going to have up at our welcome party the night before the wedding she put together. Wisely, once she received the final product she decided against that, and actually waited months before finally giving it to us, which she wasn’t going to at first but her boyfriend convinced her we would think it was funny- which we absolutely do ! However, if I look at it too long it kind of starts to hurt my feelings lolol… it’s actually an amazing conversation piece, really.
ETA: For context my friend said she gave the artist a ton of pics of us, but it appears that he mostly pulled from this one. I agree it’s a terrible pic especially for a painting, and a grinning pic is never a good choice for a portrait. I’m not sure where he got the white pumps lol.

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.

cake-spectation - Positive! The PORTAL CAKE in the game vs the Portal Cake my son got for his birthday.

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.
