To me that looks more like a fidget spinner than a penis.

Looking at the whole cake, I can sort of see cow. But I also see poop and a penis.

I don't normally jump to being upset but it looks like literal shit. If you paid more than $50-75 I'm heated on your behalf.

I'd be annoyed about the lack of smoothing out the icing to make it look better. Also the color brown unless you wanted it brown? I definitely see the penis there though. I wouldn't use that bakery for a custom cake again but I also don't think I would make a complaint or anything.

Oh yeah that does not look like the inspo pic. I think fondant would have made it look way better.

From far out it just look like it has brown squiggles with the one penis looking one on top.

They should have evened out the spots with a tapered spatula... seeing the outline with the fill is really bugging me lol. Up close I definitely see male appendage... from farther away it's not as egregious but again, easily fixable with a spatula. Agree with goldenbird that if it tasted good, I wouldn't necessarily complain, but wouldn't use them again either.

It was good, my mom said way too sweet, but she doesn’t eat sugar so her opinion is moot lol You mean her opinion was “moo”? You have no idea how upset I am that I didn’t say it this way

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! I didn’t specify, I just assumed with the picture.

The cake in question was $75, which seemed reasonable for a good one lol. Not for the poo cake.

Oof. I'm blessed with a SMIL who is a professional baker. She's made DS a cake for his party each year and it always looks so cool. She did Minecraft for his 5th last year and made the little block thingies out of fondant.

I'd leave a review. That's sloppy and a professional should not be sending that out.

Yeah $75 bucks for half-assery is a no from me. I’d write a review about the sloppy delivery. Like there are are $20 cakes at the grocery store that look way better. Who is doing their cake decorating - a 6th grader?

Grocery store cakes get slept on. I live an hr away from my favorite bakery so I have been getting my cakes from my local store now. I haven’t had a bad cake since. Even the customized ones have been good. Bakery’s are so hit and miss

It's a fair price with what ingredients cost these days, depending on how many people it was supposed to feed. But I'd email and be like "yeah no, you gave me a poop cake so I'm gonna need a $25 refund and we'll call it fair."
