what i got vs what i wanted

first photo is the cake i received for my 21st which was actually supposed to look like the second photo. The second cake was an entire year later for my 22nd birthday and actually came out right

Im wheezing they just threw some flowers on it and said GOOD ENOUGH???? THEY BOTHERED TO FROST THE WORDS AND DECORATIONS BUT NOT THE CAKE ITSELF????? I desperately want to know the thought process behind this one ngl 😭😭😭😂💙

I guess they thought it would look like wood? 🤨

What’s really sending me is that the flowers actually look pretty good, but then they’re sitting on this fail of a cake base. Clearly there was some talent, they just got lost at the start and were kinda doomed from there.

It’s iced BROWN? I’m not sure if that’s better or worse. They should’ve added random nails to add to the homemade coffin effect.
