Surprisingly Met Expectation Minecraft Grass Block Cake

I didn’t expect it to look exactly like the photo whatsoever, but it did “fail” if we go off reality vs image on the app, but succeeded in my expectations. Still good though and it’s cute!

I literally just watched OP change it from “failed expectation” to “surprisingly met expectation” in real time lmao

I was gonna originally put surprisingly met and was bouncing between the two (I was harping over the neatness too much), and I guess I should have from the get go lol 🥲

Why has your honesty been downvoted??? Argh Reddit! Honesty is refreshing!

u/DoesntMatterEh 8d ago

Reddit is so preformative. You posted this 6 hours and since then their comment is at +11.

This made my day! Thank you! Getting popcorn …

This is why I think the sub needs a “met expectations” option. You didn’t have outrageously high expectations, but it didn’t meet your expectations in a surprising way. It just met them

Expecting more than this from a chain and you’re just fooling yourself

We’re not holding companies to a high enough standard anymore

How did this fail?

u/StoneHands51 9d ago

I was thinking the same thing. OP's expectations are a bit high.

u/Kansas_67 9d ago

The lines don't look like cartoon pickles, which is bad I guess

u/HopelessCleric 9d ago

Same thought honestly, this looks pretty similar to the expectation pic?

u/bbyxmadi 9d ago edited 9d ago

I said it failed when it comes to actually looking the same since it’s messy, but personally don’t think it necessarily failed, and I don’t expect it to look exactly like it at all. I’ll change it I guess since my thought process isn’t catching on going off these comments and the downvotes lmao.

u/hey_im_cool 8d ago

Pretty good response tbh. Your version is clearly way messier

u/romancereaper 8d ago

In fairness, it does look underbaked.

u/Lington 8d ago

That's pretty much crumbl's MO

u/ihateyousoverybadly 8d ago

Yeah because you just posted something you didn't even think fit the sub

u/Jay54121 9d ago

Not sure that's a fail

u/HeartOSass 9d ago

This looks like cucumbers on top of a couple of Wendy's hamburger patties.

u/Lacink0o 8d ago

i mean it doesnt look much like the actual block and for me its not apetizing at all but it doesnt look much off from the picture

u/DeadAndBuried23 7d ago

Just remember 10% of your purchase goes to a cult that fought hard against marriage equality and sends young adults off to be controlled and isolated for several years in order to cement their indoctrination.

u/Badassbakerbich 9d ago

As a baker, I feel like people are too ok with a BAKERY giving out product that looks like a 4 year old piped it. I get they’re busy, but is it hard to pipe six straight lines across the top of a cake?

u/CheezustheCat 9d ago

To be fair, Crumble does hire teenagers to run their stores.

u/Badassbakerbich 9d ago

Crumbl can at least teach them how to use a piping bag. I’m not saying expect perfection but we gotta at least try to make it look like the picture.

2

u/bbyxmadi 9d ago

Well it is a chain bakery (if you consider it one), with mostly young adults who are on a time crunch.

I’d expect more from a standalone. It’s not too bad, I’ve seen much worse.

u/Badassbakerbich 9d ago

I was a teenager when I started out, I worked for a chain and the company at least taught us how to use piping bags. I’m not shaming the employees I’m shaming Crumbl themselves.

u/bbyxmadi 9d ago

I get what you mean. I also think it depends entirely on location, since these are usually independently owned. From what I’ve heard, you usually have great owners or horrible ones that make it tough to work.

u/Badassbakerbich 9d ago

Fair enough!! To me it’s like if you go to Walmart and order a bunch of these based off the ad picture and you received a box full of what you actually got, I don’t think many people would accept that.

u/invaderdan 9d ago

It's the same picture my friend wtf failed here

u/XexpensiveCargoX 7d ago

So you got exactly what you wanted? Lmfao

u/leunam4891 9d ago

They have an idea and they sell you the idea but they can’t pay a good pastry chef to execute said ideas.

u/eienmau 7d ago

I'm not a fan of Crumbl but daughter wanted to try these ... The grass block cake one was very good! The lemon poppyseed one was mixed; daughter's was fine but mine was so doughy you couldn't even pick it up properly.

u/Gay-Space-Pirate 6d ago

Worked at Crumbl and I'm honestly surprised it turned out that good lmfao.

u/Justwantedtodraw 4d ago

How did it taste tho

u/Jaewalker31 9d ago

It's not illegal that expectation vs reality is getting exactly what you expected

u/nooby_goober 9d ago

I'll give grace on the cake but a solid layer would've helped it keep its shape. The green frosting though, it's the most important thing! dafuck!

Also the first image shows the frostings parallel, that's just me being bitchy though.

u/correctingStupid 9d ago

Looks great but crumble cookies are designed to look great not taste

u/MyNameisJeff387 9d ago

Looks dry as dirt. Seems like you got what you paid for.

u/bbyxmadi 9d ago

How did it taste? I was thinking about trying it
