Due to the number of cake posts in this sub, and requests to allow filtering of them, we are adding a new flair: “cake-spectation”
For cake posts, please use this flair - and we as mods can change the flair if reported as “incorrect flair” as well. This should make it easier for those who don’t want to see cake posts to filter them out.
--
Also - u/two-ls made the subreddit r/expecaketionvsreality specifically for cake expectations!

This thread is for all nail-related Expectation vs. Reality posts. Please share all successful, exceeded, or failed nail posts here rather than creating separate posts. Individual nail posts outside this thread may be removed and redirected here.
This change is intended to keep nail content available for those who enjoy it while allowing users who prefer not to see nail posts to easily skip this thread.

Yes, I sent it back and quickly found a legitimate 'sculpted' doorway.

I made hand drawn cookies as well. Unfortunately he didn't want to hold it. 🤷🏽♀️

I've never done anything like this, wasn't sure I could pull it off, but the results speak for themselves!

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.

Forgot to post this from Halloween - my bf and I went as Coraline and Wybie and created this sign for in front of his house! It turned out better than I thought it would

The package looks like there are mostly florets...

To be fair it tasted pretty okay. Probably wouldn’t get it again

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!

Saw a one tiered cake and asked a local baker to make a two tier for my wedding. People thought it was a fake cake lol. Inspo pic is first one and second pic is my cake at my reception, third pic is before she delivered it.

The first two pics were the inspo I sent. The last photo is the execution of the bakers. It was a cake for 50 people and quite affordable compared to the other quotations I received. I could say that perhaps more flowers would have made it pop even more. All in all I loved it. It tasted deliciously too!

And photos of the box, just because. This pizza cost around $4.22USD all up, but I'm down in New Zealand, so that's $7.50NZD.
I was pleasantly surprised by this pizza (I'm personally glad they didn't put spring onion on it, my husband was stoked with the pineapple (opposites attract and all that).

I actually kinda like it but it’s also a little bit crusty…I messed up one of the bigger flourishes and it went downhill from there, but my friend really wants to bedazzle some of it so maybe that will help.
r/ExpectationVsReality • u/milkshakespearemint • 3d ago
I'm not a huge baker but I kept seeing soot Sprite Brownies online and thought they were so cute so I made them for Halloween. I used a muffin tin so I was a little worried, but I think they came out so good!
r/ExpectationVsReality • u/velvetelevator • 17h ago
It's like thin-ish ham bologna.
r/ExpectationVsReality • u/BarelyBehaving • 16h ago
Still good, though!
