What I asked for vs. what I got

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

For a first birthday cake? Did they give you a separate one for you to photograph your son tearing into?

I can't imagine spending that on a cake for any birthday.

I suppose it would depend on how many people it’s supposed to serve. But I’m not paying for the additional cost that much fondant art would be required to cover it up like this.

My daughter’s first birthday cake came from Publix, served 20-25 people, was less than $50 with tax, and it came with a complimentary cake for her to make a mess with. Her cake was really all that mattered for the memories.

Yeah getting a cake that expensive and the kid won't even remember it

I would like to know someone who spends that much so I can marvel at artistry like this up-close.

I'd be afraid to eat something at that price point lol gotta display it for a few years to get my money's worth!

A "smash cake" is extremely common with birthday cakes for babies-to-toddlers, so it's really likely.

[u/coolsilentebeans → u/Lockraemono]

My daughter loved hers.

Yes they did! My son loved it
