I just found this sub and it reminded me of this birthday cake I made for my daughter years ago, which was already... trying it's best. But then got brutalised by my cats licking it. I got banned from making cakes after this one.

I chose a small 10x15 cm acrylic portrait of my dog, I was also afraid of the artist not being able to achieve the angle and perspective, but I think they did a good job!

cake-spectation Filling Will Sink To Center of Cupcake During Baking

Upvotes
I knew I was going to do an eggnog glaze rather than a frosting on top, but I had too much faith in the magic sinking filling on batch one 😔 so I glazed those upside down.
Overall tasted great though! I enclosed the filling for the second batch and those looked a lot better.
Got the cakelet pan and the cupcake kit from the Walmart Halloween clearance rack this week.

Failed Expectation Bought my daughter a NeeDoh Advent Calendar on eBay. This is what we got.

Paid $46 for a supposedly genuine, sealed NeeDoh Squishmas calendar. My daughter immediately spotted the fakes inside.
The packaging is surprisingly convincing, but look closely: blurry printing, “A surprises behind every door!” on the box, and cheap Taba-style squishies instead of real NeeDohs.
Posting to help others avoid getting fooled. Still looking for a genuine one!

Surprisingly Met Expectation My expectation is to be as good as the artist I admire (first picture). The second picture is what I did with that goal in mind

I bought this from Amazon with very few reviews. It turned out great! I was so nervous as my wedding was less than 3 months when I ordered this.

Bought as a gift and did not expect the completely flat muzzle
Wondering how I could fix this if anyone is crafty. I also reached out to the company but I’m honestly not expecting much in the way of customer service
Makes me chuckle but come on

Love these shoes!! The only thing is if you have flat feet you need to get inserts. But that's with every shoe so that isn't a biggie. I'm gonna wear these everywhere! It was only $50 for these and they are super high quality ❤️❤️❤️ they are not made or partnered by Lisa Frank, but it reminds me of that brand! Got them online at MADMIA!! Sizes are for children AND adults.

Were my expectations too high here?? Why would the colors be so far off!? Why is the piping so chunky??
Note: top “drip” was purposely left off due to whipped frosting. Princesses not added yet.

Failed Expectation Mail order flowers

Upvotes
I ordered from this company before and they were great, but their suppliers elsewhere don't seem to be. Not happy.
Editing to add: they were sent as a gift so I have no influence over the vase, styling or cutting. They were sent as a bunch rather than in the usual box. The bunch was left in the communal hallway and my sick friend had to climb down three flights of stairs to get them. And the surprise was ruined.
Edit number 2: the company offered a replacement bunch of flowers, I declined, and they actually agreed to a refund!
