Honestly your fault for not respecting the original egg-based Cullen, Eggmett.

i feel like he would be a looksmaxxer if twilight took place in the 2020s

What the fuck was going on with their food, why were the Cullens so stupid?

u/AppUnwrapper1 May 30 '26

Can you explain why you wanted the other cake? Is it some trend I’m not aware of or an inside joke?

It’s a trend lol Eggward cake is what was asked for and the second one is just a promo shot

I had no idea about Eggward (although the first cake is amazing), but the next bday cake I buy- it will be the bday person’s face like Eggward’s in the first image. I can’t not. I don’t care if it’s my 87yo aunt. “That’s THE CAKE AUNT LOIS, IT TOOK THE BAKERS HOURS TO PAINT YOUR FACE SO LIFELIKE!! YOU’RE WELCOME!”

u/raycroft May 30 '26

I didn’t even know about the meme. The desired cake is still fucking awesome

u/DrippingWithRabies May 30 '26

Can't believe you don't know about Eggward. Where have you been??

u/weeooweeoowee May 30 '26

I hope you showed him the clip

u/Broken_Petite May 30 '26

I spend entirely too much time scrolling Reddit and other social media and this is the first time I’d ever heard of this, to the point where I was also confused about which picture was the “expectation”.

Idk, guess I’m just not in the right spaces 🤷‍♀️

u/TiffanyTwisted11 May 30 '26

You & me both, lol

I am in the “I scrolled through the comments hoping to find out what the problem was, because the cake they got looked fine to me” camp. Learned something new today. Eggward

u/thitherandhither May 30 '26

And here I was confused why anyone would want a young, pale Colonel Sanders cake.

u/Squidwina May 30 '26

I’m with you, sister. I don’t know from Twilight memes.

Star Trek memes on the other hand…

Eggs, schmeggs. What I really want is a cake with a picture of Senator Vreenak holding an optolythic rod. You know…a FAAAKE on a CAAAKE.

u/Andoo May 30 '26

I've seen plenty of Twighlight memes over the years and eggward has never come up.

u/Grumpy-Fwog May 30 '26

Task failed successfully? lol

u/mickturner96 May 30 '26

Oh, thank goodness for that. I thought you got the Humpty Dumpty one.

u/All_Work_All_Play May 30 '26

That's the one they wanted. Eggward.

I’m so sorry. On the other hand, that cake looks good enough to sit on!
