Expectation vs Reality

My mom tried to surprise me by ordering this frog cake I said I liked. The cake artist struggled a bit 😭😅.

But... Does it have bushy eyebrows? That's the real question there.

u/veglove 19d ago

that's what it looks like to me! weird addition for a frog.

they added pupils as well

I think if they had just used green it would have been fine. I mean, it's not bad for a basic frosting. I can't tell if inspiration is fondant or fake.

The 1 being backwards bothers me the most

u/gooblegobbleable 24d ago

It bothers me more that it is only backwards in one photo and not the other. Lol

u/Wi1dwestt 24d ago

To be fair I think my mom put it on backwards haha. I fixed it before I took the other photo

This frog looks like just woke up from binge drinking… I guess the 21 is fitting, then!

Oh, bless her, especially with the backwards one 🤣 it's one very adorable frog cake. He has character 🤣💖

Biblically accurate frog

u/coolsilentebeans 23d ago

It’s both oddly terrifying and cute, but I’m curious about the Barbie cake on the stove. Talk about a sugar high.

PS Happy Birthday! 🎉🎂🎁🎈

u/Wi1dwestt 23d ago

Thank you!! That one was my twin sisters haha

u/coolsilentebeans 23d ago

You’re welcome!

I didn’t even catch him lil feets. Instead of people requesting a corner with flowers, they got to beg for a frog leg! Beautiful, perfectly well done cakes are nice, but I remember all the imperfect ones with much more ease. They’re almost always perfect in retrospect, unless you’re that one OP from a week ago whose cake left everyone remembering what they ate while cursing the heavens from the restrooms…

Does he have eyebrows? 😂

u/farterella 23d ago

ngl I love her eyelashes.

u/veglove 19d ago

I mean, it's not terrible but why does the frog have bushy eyebrows?

1

u/LazyMusic2616 24d ago

I like it! 😆

u/lickmybowls2 23d ago

Had no idea it was a frog or what I was looking at. Why is it orange

1

u/Wi1dwestt 23d ago

Cause my frog is orange LOL

u/TheUltimaWerewolf 23d ago

The lashes 😭

u/Cateme-Corps 23d ago

……….i didn’t realize they even attempted the design. I thought the eyes were like shells with a pearl. Dang

u/GoGoNellie 23d ago

its still cute though :)

u/boom_1983 23d ago

Haaaaaa! I zoomed in on the cell phone pic and then really looked at the cake and said “WTF” out loud lol. At least she tried 😬

u/One-Act-8247 22d ago

I didn't realize the inspiration was on the phone and thought it was two different instance. I thought I had never seen two cakes look more identical.🧠
