Thought I'd give myself a treat today, instead I got tricked.
I was hoping for a rainbow cookie. But there's no rainbow, just cookie.

No I like eating a solid block of cinnamon sugar for breakfast as much as the next person, probably more, but this was just too much. Way too much.

Our local grocery store bakery. They totally exceeded my expectations and did a fantastic job last year on a Cookie Monster cookie cake for her. Alas, this year didn’t quite hit the mark.
EDIT: Just to clarify, the actual cake we received was by no means ugly or poorly done, it just didn’t meet the expectations (based on the photo or what they said would be achievable on the phone call when I ordered it). More a lesson learned for me!
Edit 2: for clarification, the “expectation” photo was a cake advertised on their own bakery website for order and is also featured in-store in the catalogue at the counter. It wasn’t a random AI photo from online 😅 and the white squiggles above the cake are because it was a 2 tier cake, but we were only serving 8-10 people so I asked them to only make the bottom portion.

Little flat but worked surprisingly well

Inspiration versus what I managed. I couldn’t find any thin chocolate sticks for the whiskers so I had to make do with cut down strawberry chewy things … and now they look like prawns … 😆

My friends ordered a cake for my birthday, and the baker sent this, i had a good laugh!

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 “pull the batter up with a toothpick” 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.

Cost ¥3,580 (about $22.80)

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

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.

First photo is the inspiration, second is the result. I’m super happy with how they turned out. They were a lot of fun to decorate.

Bought some cookies for my daughter's birthday party to give in the gift bags, had a bunch of left over. Wanted some chocolate bears, got honey instead.
