Would yall be upset?

[wasabi]

This is kinda just for fun because I’m not *really* upset, but I am just a little huh at this cake situation from my boy’s first birthday. More background: the picture I gave this bakery was a much cleaner, I guess fondant looking cow print. And, most people don’t like the way fondant tastes so I decided they were doing me a favor by disregarding that.

But then my sister point out that the main cow print on top of the cake looked like this:




What would Jesus do?

[wasabi]

Cuz like, that’s a penis, right?

[mothafuckinteatime]

I would laugh, but no I wouldn’t be upset. That’s buttercream, just smooth out another blob on there if you need.

I just picked up the ugliest cake known to man for my kiddos 3rd bday. I showed it to the cashier and was like, “is that not the ugliest cake you ever saw?” And she snorted and said, “it totally is. Honestly, you should complain.” 😆it’s like moldy poo. (It was lime green on the website)

[jaygee]

Why isn’t it black and white cow print? Just because black frosting is gross?

That does look penis like but I think you can angel it in a way that’s less obvious. lol. I’m more concerned that the one on the bottom looks a little poop like. Can you smooth those bumps down?

[soiree]

Looks like poop, sorry!!! They disregardd the fondant, you didn't tell them to? I wouldn't be pleased and I wouldn't use that bakery again, yikes! Glad you can laugh about it!

I would be annoyed not so much for the shapes, which yes are funny, but because it's buttercream which means you can EASILY smooth it out. All of those cow spots look like they did them in 5 seconds and didn't bother making them look nicer. Also was your reference photo brown and white? Because otherwise I'd ask why they chose shit brown for the frosting color.

This is where I land. They couldn't take the time to smooth any of the blobs out into the outlines, which just seems lazy to me.

[icedcoffee]

I'm not getting cow print at all, sorry. And it looks like poop, I don't immediately go to penis. Even though I knew what you meant when you posted, lol.

I think how much I paid for it would affect how upset I was cuz for a first birthday I'm sure the kid is just happy about cake 🤣

[piratecat]

I'm upset that your baby is a year old already.

[joy]

Can you zoom out? I’m curious to see the whole thing before making an opinion.

This.  Why are so many of the other 'spots' (term used very losely' showing so many very defined lines (esp. that one behind the decoration!)?  It's SO easy to smooth out the buttercream, but that shouldn't be your job if you paid for this.  I would be complaining, but not about a vaguely penis shaped spot that could easily be reshaped a bit if it really bothered you, but really, cows probably do have some vaguely penis shaped spots and that one didn't stand out for that reason alone glaringly to me, at least not to the point that THAT is what people would notice about this cake.

So, originally I wanted a second tier with brown ombré icing, so the brown made sense to me.

This was the reference



And this is what I wanted for the second tier, but they told me it’d be $275 and I was like lol, nvm



I should’ve gotten more quites from different bakeries but I just kinda wanted to get it over with 🙃

[rachacha]

Maybe she thought you mean cow pie and not cow print? 😳

[piratecat]

wasabi, it's not the best cow print cake I've seen but that particular spot doesn't bother me.

[wasabi]

I should probably leave a review, but I also hate doing that.

[flojo]

How did it taste?

I’m not sure I would’ve really noticed if my sister didn’t point it out

It was good, my mom said way too sweet, but she doesn’t eat sugar so her opinion is moot lol

[flojo]

I’m not getting penis vibes but I would probably be a little upset by the spots looking kind of sloppy. Not enough to complain tho.

You mean her opinion was “moo”?

[elle]

I think I'd be more upset about the not smoothed centers, that's the part that makes it not look like cow print.

The penis shaped one makes me giggle but doesn't bother me.

[AmyG]

The kid being 1 already is way more upsetting than the cake looking weird. I assume other decorations made the idea this is a cow cake evident. If it looked wonky and tasted bad and was costly for a bad cow print caje then they'd get a bad review.
I hate giving reviews though.

[icedcoffee]

I think it's the fondant part, it does look like the inspo to be fair. It's just not smooth and probably did need to be fondant to make it look right. Like even smoothing it out could have left weird edges

[miawallace]

I am not someone who leaves reviews for a lot of stuff, but I’d leave one for this. The result doesn’t like nice or right. Sorry 🙈 you mignt be able to have someone connect with you about making it right someway.

[piratecat]

I guess my opinion would also depend on how much I paid for it.

[MelanieCarmichael]

That is terrible. It looks like plops of poop and a poop penis.

[🍍 🍊 Fineapple 🍍 🍊]

I would be upset especially because it is so easy with buttercream, not to have a dick print on my cake.

[fb]

Did you specifically ask them to not do fondant? Cause the inspo you sent them is fondant (clearly) and what they gave you is not. It's confusing.

I can see peen but also agree it's just kinda sloppy overall. The cake industry is so weird!
