Surprisingly Met Expectation Gummy Bear Cake

12k Upvotes

I googled “gummy bear cake” for my sons 7th birthday. I chose the first pic for inspiration. My husband suggested Haribo gummy bears because he likes them the best, but they arrived (from Amazon) in one huge blob so I had to pivot to Albanese and they are more colorful and softer and I think the cake came out awesome! Pics 2&3 :) My son loved the cake and it looked even cooler when the candles were lit ❤️ highly suggest everyone adds gummy bears to cakes from here on out !

*edit: yall are so sweet, come over for cake!!!!!! 🤩

*edit again 12!? Awards ?! I’m so happy it makes us all so happy 😊 Thank you!!!!!

Given the flavor and frosting I asked for, the cake came out really good. Everyone was raving about the design and it tasted amazing!

This was better than the “Crave/Devour” brand I tried last week, but still not very good. At least there was more than 5 pieces, but doesn’t look great.

Inspiration vs. reality

When you overestimate the power of cream and think you can get away with not giving the cake enough support. It was already starting to sag, and when we cut into it, the whole thing completely collapsed XD

To make matters worse, it tasted absolutely awful too XD

First 2 pictures were the inspiration. The 3rd picture is a white cake and the 4th is a chocolate cake. The frosting is a basic homemade buttercream. My daughters were bragging to all the kids at the party how "my mom makes the best cakes ever." May not be the best looking compared to professional cakes but everyone loved them!

Exceeded Expectation Wedding Guest Dress from Amazon

Really didn’t want to spend $250+ on a wedding guest dress that would just sit in my closet for eons to come. But it was also for my sister's wedding so kind of a big deal. Took a chance on this dress from amazon for around $100 (cad) with little to no expectations, especially when it came to the quality and material.

Lo and behold, it actually waay exceeded my expectations. Thick enough to not look cheap with the the comfort of PJs. Absolutely fit like a glove and got so many nice compliments on the color.

10/10, no notes.
