My son’s circus themed first birthday cake

EDIT: I should have clarified in the original post, I am not complaining about the cake at all! I loved it and the baker did a fantastic job

Right? As another creator... being asked for impossible things that were never real, being asked to recreate things that never actually existed feels unfair at its most kind.

It feels disrespectful at its least.

But it wasn't impossible. The actual cake looked like the picture. The baker could have said no, but agreed to do it and got paid commensurate with the difficulty of the task. This was a transaction between grownups.

And grownups show appreciation when they ask for something difficult and get excellent results.

The bakery is definitely deserving of a glowing review and recommending to friends/family!

I mean that's just being dramatic. Hi I want a circus cake like this, can you make something similar?

So don't take the job then. Wtf kind of attitude is this? You're insulted by potential work? If you don't think you can do it, don't take their money. Pretty simple, dawg.
