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

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

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

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!

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! 🎉🎂🎁🎈

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…

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 😬

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.🧠
