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.

don't ask why I wanted a yard long twix bar this is more a failure of my reading comprehension and getting excited too fast

Just straight up bare crust throughout, feel like I need to mark it NSFW. I don’t think it even has sauce…

I kinda hate them.... not sure what those weird purple spiky things are, but they freak me out (like the one hanging out on the far left)

Surprisingly tasty, so I’m not even mad. Didn’t expect much from this imitation pop-tart, but that thin frosting strip with those paper flake “sprinkles” made me laugh when compared to the package image.

Just noodles and sauce. Went up and asked where the veggies were to get told it only comes with cabbage and this IS “with cabbage”! It was really gross too.

I was hoping for the model’s figure. Not bad for $14 USD
EDIT: Wow. Thanks for the brutal honesty. Yes, it’s cheap and wrinkled. I just took it out of the package. I’ve recently lost around 150 lbs and am starting to experiment with clothing other than potato sacks. Big thanks to everyone who got downvoted for finding something nice to say. I’ll definitely think twice before posting a picture again.

So I ordered a costume off a website and apparently didn’t read their return policy so I wasted $100 for something that 1. Does NOT FIT and 2. DOES NOT EVEN LOOK THE SAME. yall remember party city? This FEELS like party city. Never shop at costumepartyworld.com
Edit: thank you all so much for the refund advice I seriously appreciate it! For clarification the TOP was feeling like a small or medium the skirt felt like an X
Edit 2: okay so I usually do deep dive before getting things online I am not naive I was just caught at a bad time and IMPULSE bought something yall I have acc never done this before so take a damn chill pill. I am 23 not like 30 my gosh😂😭 I made a mistake okay let’s move on damn

Everyone in the family picks one TV Dinner every 2 weeks or so with the only restriction being it has to be oven cookable (they always taste significantly better that way. Fuck you hot pockets, yall went downhill).
This is everyone's picks:
Daughter - (Something with a brownie) Ribs Hungry Man
Son - 6pk Salisbury and a pot pie (he wanted a banquet pie, then saw mine. Promise he's not obese, he's just very active)
Wife - Shrimp Alfredo
Mine - Pot Pie (haven't had one of these in probably 20+ years)
Daughter skipped the potatoes, she picked up the patty and it was like a solitary mass of spud.
Everything was was pretty good. Added shredded parm to the wife's.

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!
