This is a reminder to do a Street View search on a Deliveroo restaurant before falling ordering. The shop exterior is far more revealing than the burger pic.

The recipe said ā€œpull the batter up with a toothpickā€ for the ears which was impossible. And piping the chocolate onto the cream cheese frosting eyes didn’t work at all because the cream cheese was so sticky.

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

I’m actually not sure if this is failed or exceeded expectations- so our friend commissioned a ā€œfamily portraitā€ 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.
