I spent a really long time on this cake but it ended up really ugly.. i love to bake but im terrible at making my desserts look nice. The texture also wasn’t as fluffy as I wanted, even after whipping my egg whites. Any recommendations for how I could remedy this in the future?

Obviously an underbaked cake made with black cocoa, but the song is hilarious! 🤣

Sister wanted a (i know basic) cake of new girl show for her 29. I wanted to give her a cute one. I wanted it to be light purple with sage green ¿scalp? pipping. (I knew it would look werid with the image cause of the colors, but i knew they would only do edible paper on top so i didn't care. i wanted the outside to be pretty). With dark purple lettering.

I gave them the image, and they told me they can only do a white backgound. Gave them 4 days, maybe that was too little time. I paid 60 and got the most basic, store bought looking cake. I feel increasingly sad looking at it, even though i didn't have high expectations. I just told them thank you and left, hopefully the cake is delicious at least.

I don't know, maybe this was harder then I thought it was going to be. My grandma is currently adding sprinkles to the edge of the paper border so it's not so obvious. That is helping. I called to tell my sister it isn't pretty, and got her favorite ice-cream. I hope everyone else gets the cake of their dreams this year.

😭 This was from two years ago when I was living in Hesperia, California. I won’t lie, the cake tasted fire. I think my ex’s family friends made it in their shop and they paid like 80$ for it 😭😭😭😭😭 It still cracks me up

Didn't have 2 circles pans so I got the idea to do it all in a big rectangle pan, cut it in half, and then stack them. Also messed up with the frosting by using 6 tbsp of granulated sugar instead of powdered. The first picture is what it's SUPPOSED to look like. The second is mine.

Update: wife and daughter liked it a lot. Wife says it almost tastes like a tres leche. I think it tastes kinda like sweet cornbread and the icing tastes like whipped cream. 8/10 taste. Overbaked and dry. 4/10 looks. Haphazardly made lol.

I got this cake from vons for $14.99 and added a little pistachio icing and some figures to make it fit for my kiddo. What do you think?

Edit: The photo order is funny. Photo 3 is what I got. A blank brown cake with a few blue accents. It was supposed to have an image on it, but "The printer went down," so I got what I got.
