First photo: what I asked for. This is what I wanted our wedding cake to look like. We wanted the blue gradient, swirls. Exactly as shown. White funfetti inside.

What we got: I don’t even know…

  1. Uhhh… did they mix up your order with a different one??

    These seems like a basic order

    I’m not paying for something I didn’t ask for…please remake it!?!

  3. Looks something like a smash cake you gove a 3yr old lol.

    You could buy some silk flowers to cover the funfetti center if you haven’t had your wedding yet.

    I hope they gave you a refund because that’s a joke.

    You definitely got the swirls you wanted 😂

  7. I’m laughing because I ordered a birthday cake once with a similar inspiration picture. Lol

    That should not take long to fix. Scrape the frosting, mix a few colors and repipe. The swirls are super forgiving and you don’t have to fuss over them like smooth frosting. Did she offer to fix it?

    How do people keep leaving the store without confirming they are happy with the cake?

    I think some people are just lazy and don’t really care. I don’t think a person should be in this profession if they’re not going to at least try to make the cake similar to what the customer wanted. This looks like they just gave up or didn’t even try.

    Who knows, maybe they just bought this cake from a grocery store and made it look like they did the work. You never know, because people are peculiar nowadays in a strange way.

    I’m sorry to see that you didn’t get what you wanted. Hopefully, there’s a refund, but maybe you don’t even have the time for that because you need a cake. Yikes, I would never go back to them for any event, or even recommend them.

    Oh no!!
    7 year old perspective: Bro thought that was so luxurious but it is cringe.

    Based on other comments you’ve made in this thread, it seems like you didn’t send the bakery a reference image. Instead, the bakery was told to make “a funfetti cake with swirls” and that’s what they made. It seems like you’re trying to blame the bakery for failing here, when in reality it was a failure to communicate what was wanted.

  13. Huh? Not even close. I’m so sorry that happened to you.

  14. Wow. Such a straightforward request.. yet the baker was Waaaay overthinking, made it more complicated, and and completely missed the easy to achieve key features. Mind boggling. Its a whole other animal.

    Oh no!! You have a case for at least a partial credit

    It’s odd that they gave you a completely different cake and she said she misunderstood. Did she not get the inspiration photo?

    Hi folks. Quick update/edit: MIL picked up the cake. Waited until she got home. I went to her house to see it. She knew it was bad and didn’t want to alarm me since it was the day before my wedding. I met with/showed the baker what I wanted. I made sure to send the photos with the description in text. I said “I want the cake to look exactly like this. The blue gradient flowers. Inside is funfetti/vanilla.” She said she completely understood what I wanted. She only gave us a 50% refund.

    These threads are convincing I might be a Karen. If I was given this instead of what I ordered, for premium prices, I would be livid. I’m a novice baker and could replicate this design better than they did!

    Why do people keep putting jimmies on everything! Aaaa!

    The cake you asked for I bought at the grocery store for $25 by my house
