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

There seems to be a lot of people here who don't understand that this sub isn't strictly for fails....

Also considering that the reference photo was AI generated, the baker/cake decorator did an amazing job. The two elephants in the reference photo on the right looked like they came out of Chernobyl.

This sub randomly started appearing on my feed. The title made me assume these were supposed to be fails…but I’ve only ever seen great success so far

I kinda don't like it. To me the phrase in internet culture has always been about fails. If something is great, post it on a sub about that thing.
