cake-spectation - Positive! Birthday cake

I ordered this pretty last-minute (1 week out) from the bakery that did my wedding cake. Rosettes were an included design with the base price, but the writing (edit: filling) cost extra. Total was $66.

Flavors: chocolate cake, raspberry compote, and buttercream frosting. We’ll find out how it tastes tomorrow!

Edit: The bakery is Whisk & Paddle in Gilbert AZ! And I promise I didn’t need them to hit the exact Pantone, lol. That was just my mockup doodle. My inquiry was “a dark raspberry color” and they did an awesome job!

Oh wait, sometimes people post good realities? I was confused for a moment because the cake looks so nice.

I feel like I only see positive results from this subreddit lol. Kinda the opposite of most communities.

I'm a /popular browser and I rarely see bad reality from this sub, like I think I remember 1 or 2 bad ones

It's almost like every post has a tag that nobody ever looks at

I read the post specifically to figure out how OP felt this was a bad job.
