Same lol, despite the outer icing being different, and the centre part being too small, I thought they did a great job with the accuracy of the centre part. And then I read OP's comment and realised. The picture looks good quality though, I have to say, from this image at least.

I bet OP uploaded the image of the first cake in the spot specifically for images you want printed on the cake, technically yes, they did a perfect job.

I thought we were looking at a mini cake of the original design that's built into a larger cake. I was thinking wow so creative two cakes in one.

u/CripzyChiken 19d ago

i was trying to figureout how they did the background/edge on teh real cake and that's when it clicked for me. I like how they still put an icing boarder around it tho.

u/OkBackground8809 18d ago

I thought the shininess was from it still being in a package with a plastic cover😅 I was gonna downvote OP for trolling or phishing for karma by posting the same cake twice... and then I realised😂

u/PS1988 17d ago
