So, I’m not sure if the baker is lurking here, but I need to give her our honest reviews on this. Reference vs. the cake baked. Thoughts? It feels like it stares right through my soul.

It looks like a tim Burton character

I honestly want to know how some of these bakers don’t see how their cakes are horrible and so far from the inspo pics? Did this baker really hand this over proudly and think “NAILED IT!”??

he kinda looks like young sheldon

That was a real jump scare.
So sorry nephew.

The cake reminds me of Nick from Big Mouth

She nailed everything except the face.

This is why I’ll never do human faces, I just don’t know how. I once tried to make baby face cake pops for a friends baby shower. I was so frustrated with how they looked, I called and asked to do decorated sugar cookies instead. Thankfully she was cool with the change and it all ended up beautiful in the end, but lesson learned.

I just cannot unsee this. I am sorry.

It looks like it’s pissing on the cake and asking: ” You think I care?”.

That cake made me swear outloud ….

Does it resemble your nephew?

I feel like this was a nearly impossible ask from almost anyone- yeah the end result is creepy but that first cake is not something almost anyone can do.

I don’t understand why bakers accept orders they clearly don’t have the skills to fill 🤦🏻♀️

It was a mistake to see this at 2am

That’s hilarious, I’m sorry lol. I hope you at least got a portion of your money back because honestly the rest of the cake looks pretty good. All these inspiration vs. reality disasters we’re seeing lately have me seriously questioning the bakers in some of y’alls cities. You don’t even have to say “I can’t do that.” if you don’t want to seem unsure or not confident in your abilities. You can say “I’m sorry but we don’t do that type of sculpture work here. Can I recommend xyz instead? If that’s really what you’d like let me recommend this baker, they might be able to help you.” I get it would suck having to turn down a client, but you have to be realistic about your skill level.

HAHA omg not great execution. But ordering a cake with an anthrpomorphized edible desert version of your nephew on it was also possibly not the move

It’s just……breathtaking.

Maybe I’m just tired but I’ve been laughing at this for a minute straight, I’m so sorry 😂

As fucked up as it is, it’s brilliant

A little weird, but cute

The person who ordered the first cake had a much better looking baby, but all kids are special in their own way.

I don’t understand what you expected? Are there people who can actually make cakes like the first picture? Like more than 5 on the planet? The result is pretty good imo but maybe put a paper bag over its head
MissKellieUk
Did you really expect this was going to end well for you?

So sculpting faces with fondant is a tough skill to master and comes with a lot of experience. You really have to reach out to the top bakers to get the exact result. Just out of curiosity how much did you pay? I know a Baker who could do this and they would easily charge me anything between 250-300$ for the precision everyone is looking for, in this thread.

This is what you get for wanting to eat a baby.

I also wouldn’t be shocked if the first pic the reference pic was AI generated
jennyster
Just out of curiosity how much did the cake cost? Can you imagine how many hours of practice it would take to develop the kind of skill you’d need to pull this request off confidently?
I mean, if you hired a ceramicist or other artist to create a custom, hand-sculpted figurine of your nephew in that style, faithfully capturing his appearance, it would cost hundreds of dollars. Just because this is edible and comes with a cake doesn’t make it easier.
