Spent $120 on this cake for my pineapple-obsessed mother and all she had to say was that it looked simple. 🙄

I was just scrolling through old photos and was reminded of this from four years ago.
She’s not much of a baker herself so IDK where she even got the chutzpah to say something like this looked easy to make. I bake all the time and even so, if *we* had tried making it, it wouldn’t have looked even a quarter this good, I’ll tell you that!😆

my mother is the “oh wowwww!!!……what is it?” type. she reminds me that i need to get better at complimenting other people before I have kids of my own lmao

Bundt cake it is for mom’s next bday.

Simple? No, simply gorgeous!

Well next birthday grocery store cake it is!
brokenhartted
Nice- what kind of flavor is the cake? Pineapple?
nemerosanike
That is a beautiful cake either way! I hope it was tasty. I’m sorry for the annoying memories, remember the sweet cake 🙂

This is super cute.

$120 is a huge amount for any cake to be honest but that’s looks fun at least

Oh she can make her own cake next year then?

Ungrateful people are absolutely unreal

How ungrateful! I like it. I would be flattered if someone made me that.
Bigmuscleliker567
At least she can act surprised dam lol
bangs_mcgehee
Haha tell her she’s gonna be getting little Debbie snack cakes next year if she doesn’t shape up lol

Next cake is an actual frosted pineapple with two outstretched arms giving the finger. 👍💁😂

Was she expecting the pineapple to be upside down

it’s a great cake and a very sweet gesture. Hopefully she will realize the effort and thought you put in. Maybe she’s having a hard time with this birthday? It’s disappointing when people don’t react like we expect, but there could be something deeper going on.

The cake is really cute and gives Sponge Bob vibes. It was very thoughtful of you to go out of your way like that…also prob difficult to transport without ruining the frosting. I’m sorry she did not recognize your efforts. 💛
It’s Pineapple upside down cake for her if there is even a next time.

Wow. How rude. Even if it’s simple, it’s the thought that counts. Guess you know not to bother spending any real money on her since she won’t even appreciate it. I’m no pro baker, but let me tell you, cake decorating is a FUCKING ART!
Like with a lot of things, when it looks simple, it’s actually not. When it looks simple, it’s that much more unforgiving with any imperfections. Cake decorating is so time consuming and this is where costs can really climb.
I used to scoff at cake pricing, but oh man, I got a A HUGE wake up call when I decided to make a real effort with my first cake. The baking was the easy part. 👀 if you wanna make a cake and have it look actually decent, and you’re not used to making cakes, the struggle is seriously real. I absolutely appreciate people that do this on a regular basis.

I’m sure she meant “elegant.” 🤣

If one of my kids gave me, also a pineapple obsessed person, this cake, I’d lose my mind and possibly cry from the thoughtfulness. I’m sorry your mom didn’t appreciate it!
pie_12th
Simple? Nah man! That cake has some height to it, and that’s tricky on its own. Then it’s got superb piping skills all the way around. I’d be stoked if someone got that cake for me, it’s beautiful.
SwissyRescue
I feel like this is probably not the first time she’s shat on you.
sleepypharmDee
Well, I think it looks amazing. Is it also pineapple flavored? That would be cool. Pineapple right side up cake?
OutWestTexas
It was a VERY nice gesture even if your mom does not appreciate it.
Theoglaphore
It’s a lovely cake, but yeah, it doesn’t look like you got your money’s worth. Even so, the proper response is, “It’s wonderful, thank you!” not “It lookes simple”.
Next time, just throw together a quick pineapple upside-down cake with a cheap box mix. At least you won’t be out as much money.
OkConcept8409
That’s an amazing cake !!!
StrangeMango1211
It’s adorable! I’m obsessed with cherries and if someone gave me a cherry shaped/ cake I think I’d cry
theAshleyRouge
I mean…why it that considered an insult? It IS simple looking, but that doesn’t make it less beautiful, elegant, or desirable.
Wild_Onion_5979
I’d been tempted to shove her face in it 🤣
oh_sneezeus
Omg i love it
mar__iguana
LOL sounds like my mom, that’s why I stopped doing nice celebratory things 🥲
Ok_Pound_2164
For the next cake, just print out an image of a pineapple and lay it on top of a pound cake.
pressurehurts
She should have pretended and lied that she likes it more to not hurt your feelings, you spent money after all. Good thing you put it here so we, strangers, can badmouth your mom now.
MissLemon221b
nothing simple about that especially the price 😧
No_Passenger_2554
I would be stoked to get that cake.

While she’s not wrong, she could have shown a bit more humility and grace and appreciated the thought more.

Sonit only took 120 bucks to find out what kind of person she is that’s not too bad
