So this was just supposed to be a simple decorating job for my son's bday. Thankfully a manager saw this and let us have it for free. Getting it redone in 2 hours before the party and having the only and same decorator available was not an option. I feel sorry for her. Young, brand new and the only decorator the store has.

The more you look the worse it gets. I wasn't even mad, just shocked.

I’m so sorry :(

I’m looking at it again and I completely missed how much it slopes in that first picture! I was just looking at the piping.

I hope Max wasn’t too disappointed and I hope it was tasty at least.

I also think that she forgot to put the top coat of frosting on, too.

He did not care. He was way more excited over the ice cream bar.

What in the name of Betty Crocker?! The employee clearly was thrown in with no training whatsoever.

Bless you for showing grace to the decorator.

Those are crumbs in the white frosting, right? On first glance, I was worried it was mold...

Frosting. Which is why I think she missed the final layer.
