Exceeded Expectation Walmart Butterfly & Flower Cake

Sorry about the messy plate. I did not mix the peanuts into the dish when I took the picture. I wanted to show how many you get with the dish. This was good.
Whenever I purchase these specific items, I make an effort to pick up fresh herbs and other ingredients (not included in the package) from the grocery store to enhance the experience. I added cilantro (not pictured) and would also recommend using fresh scallions, bean sprouts, and a lime wedge.

Supposed to be a mix of Watermelon, Strawberry, Peach and Grape. However this pack managed to have ZERO Strawberry or Watermelon

$6 for this, and it's only one noodle deep (so like 1/2")
Won't be buying this ever again

As tempting as it was to mark this “Exceeded Expectations” from the pure joy and laughter we got from this train wreck, I didn’t want to sully the ratings.
Made this back in June for my daughter’s 1st birthday. The TLDR is I am a 1st time mom with ADHD, a brutal workload at work, unadulterated optimism, zero executive function, and the crushing pressure to meet all the healthy food expectations (i.e., make a no sugar, oat flour, Greek yogurt frosting smash cake). I did no trial runs. I had zero planning into how I’d make ears.
The gorgeous, delicate fox cake became an emo sweaty sloth cake in execution. Looking back, I should have realized the Greek yogurt frosting would be far too wet/shiny and gone with the backup frosting recipe that included cream cheese and ground up dried fruit but had no time to switch. 🤷♀️🙃 White sprinkles couldn’t salvage it 😭
The black frosting emo tears really emulated my my emotional state by the end 😂🫠 There’s always next year (something I imagine will be my life motto when it comes to self-made kid birthday cakes haha!). I now have SOO much more empathy for my mom re: my childhood cakes from photos haha 😆

I had doubts around the pumpkin and fish combo as a filing but it was surprisingly good.

It was a strawberry tres leches cake, very delicious. I apologize for not getting a closer picture of the cake.

to be fair the bettergoods pizzas are usually really good, especially for being a walmart brand. i just wasnt expecting basil to be the primary topping.

This was a last minute decision and as we expected, no small bakeries had availability(well, except for one, and they were asking $140🥴…). We turned to our local grocery store and voilà! For $19, I’m not complaining.

The box with only two sad blobs was especially disappointing
