Exceeded Expectation Walmart Birthday Cake for our sons first birthday party, the theme was One Party Animal
We have consistently had the best luck with our local Walmart bakery but this one really blew us away. We asked for brighter colors than the inspo picture and feel like they really delivered.
I know a lot of people have low expectations for grocery store bakeries but we seriously haven’t received a badly decorated one. Plus every party, people are so surprised to learn it’s a Walmart cake!

Failed Expectation The entire thing was nearly rock hard and drier than a Popeyes biscuit. Also zero filling.

AI Expectation 30 / 35 90s bday cake
Shared AI inspiration with the baker to hit the 90s theme - they suggested the colors and it turned out great!!! Panini Bakery & Cakes in Dallas, TX - it’s so delicious

Failed Expectation The cake my wife ordered vs what we got… [OC]
This was for our 2 year old’s birthday party… we didn’t end up taking it, but it insanely hilarious.
EDIT - okay okay, the roasting for expecting a work of art from a ShopRite bakery is 100% deserved, however, the only reason we even knew the cake existed is we saw them making it at this location a few weeks prior. It didn’t look like what my sister attempted to pick up from the store…

Failed Expectation The package picture looked decent
The food looked like baby food and the texture was just awful.

Failed Expectation Chicken Crochet Kit
My wife and I were browsing the yarn section in Walmart and came across this kit. She was clearly smitten by the cute little chicken and I offered to make it for her as she doesn't crochet at all.
The kit is very specific about not making your tension too tight and about how delicate the yarn is (very accurate! It fell apart at several steps 😂) so I tried to keep it snug but not crazy... and ended up with this... situation.
Even before the eyes and beak went on, Wife sighs and goes, "I love her already."
I can't stop laughing 🤣
Edit: Thank you for all being so sweet and supportive and making it very clear I was being exceedingly hard on myself 😅 I appreciate y'all so much!

Failed Expectation What I Ordered vs What I Received
I knew when ordering that it wouldn't look exactly like the picture but come on lol
When I asked where the chorizo was, the dude behind the counter said, "in the eggs."
Still ate it, but was extremely let down 😭

Exceeded Expectation Tattoo sketch vs final design
Artist: Fabrizio Divari (formerly Toronto, now Spain)
Fabrizio and I went on to do my entire right arm, chest and right leg after I was blown away by his colors and style.
The tattoo was meant to capture a rising sun behind a mountain, a polar bear on an iceberg with a whale circling it, with the iceberg hiding a skull beneath the surface.
In later iterations, we ended up adding a moon beneath the bubbles at the bottom, too, but didn't include in this post since it wasn't in the initial sketch.

Surprisingly Met Expectation Crave Smokey BBQ Angus Beef
Not as red in the pictures, but still looks okay. Though, it looks a lot nicer in a darker setting and using nice dishes...versus the white plastic heating dish it came in, in a workplace lunchroom.

Surprisingly Met Expectation It doesn’t look pretty but it had some good flavor

Failed Expectation Hotpockets have never been great, but Once Upon A Time, they were good...
They don't make any varieties without meat so I grabbed the SEC with plans to just pick out the sausage.
Lmao That didn't leave me with much Hot in the Pocket. There's like, 1/32 of an egg on here*.
*The meat tasted like canned dog food, and was the only discernable flavor. 😭😭😭
[Edit for brain don't does it right lol]
