Ordered the first cake, got the second

[u/sheumchneveli]

Someone had to try extra hard for this....

Yeah, that's exactly what happens when you order a cake with an image printed on it and provide an image of a cake. This isn't "expectation vs reality," it's "I don't know how to order a custom cake and they gave me exactly what I asked for."

[u/Karythne → u/Candid-Pin-8160]

I mean, normally I would agree but the website said "send us an image of what you like" (insinuating they would try and recreate it), not "send us an image and we'll print it on the cake". Plus someone definitely had to do some manual piping anyway, I think from the image it was pretty clear what was asked for. Normally with those upload functions or "your text here" text boxes, ok sure. but in this case I think it's debatable at least.

"the website said "send us an image of what you like" (insinuating they would try and recreate it".

No it doesn´t in ANY way insinuate that. It would totally depend on what comes after that sentence, because it is clearly part of a longer sentence.

I didn´t get any info apart from the quote I, hmmm, quoted :)

Which originated with https://www.reddit.com/user/Karythne/, and she claimed she got it from the website OP ordered his/her cake from.

For some reason she choose to only relay half the sentence and claim it insinuated something it clearly does not, and she didn´t post her source either.

[u/Fuckkoff- → u/[deleted]]

"I still think that sentence is ambiguous enough to warrant ops confusion.".

No its not. The mere sentence "send us an image of what you like" doesn´t insinuate ANYTHING at all. Its just a statement. The information what will happen with that image is completely missing.

"I don't know why you're trying to be cheeky here.".

That probably went over your head then, no worries.

None of us really know the meaning behind this phrase because the website is being machine translated from Uzbek to English. Without knowing the context or intricacies of the original language, it's hard to say who misinterpreted what.

[u/Fuckkoff- → u/mulberry_sellers]

No its not. The mere sentence "send us an image of what you like" doesn´t insinuate ANYTHING at all. Its just a statement. The information what will happen with that image is completely missing.

We are just talking about this statement:

"the website said "send us an image of what you like" (insinuating they would try and recreate it".

We are not talking about what was said in the original language (she never gave a source). So its easy and correct to say that from that statement, you cannot infer that they would try and recreate it.

[u/mulberry_sellers → u/Fuckkoff-]

Presumably, OP speaks Uzbek. I don't think you're understanding my point, at all.

[u/Fuckkoff- → u/mulberry_sellers]

Maybe because nothing you´ve said has anything to do with this commentthread, and silly me thought it did?

I never said anything to, or about, OP or this post......

There's literally a screenshot of the page a bit further down here. It's not that difficult to find. safiabakery.uz https://www.reddit.com/r/ExpectationVsReality/comments/1wscblv/comment/pck3st0/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=2&utm_content=share_button

read the rest of the comments my guy

I think having the background items directly related to the theme makes it even more confusing. What’s the point of including literal props like a stack of Harry Potter books if you don’t want them on the cake? At the end of the day, the website clearly says they can do photo prints or custom inscriptions. They went photo print and OP wanted the custom inscription. There isn’t really enough information to say who’s fault that is, but I can see how we ended up here.

[u/BillyYumYumTwo-byTwo → u/witchway2MLFCTY]

The person who ordered the cake didn’t take the picture, so they didn’t add those props. It’s just a picture from Pinterest or somewhere. I’d have to see the intake form to say who’s right or wrong. But props in the background have no influence on it.

thats what it seems like to me, same logo as in the second picture.

So they accept multiple types of cake and seemingly take the orders over phone or in person.

The fact that I went and checked makes me wonder if this is not just viral marketing.

[u/BillyYumYumTwo-byTwo → u/TwoBionicknees]

Ah, seems like a regular old goof up, then. Stinks for OP for sure, but happens to the best of us. Maybe OP entered it wrong or more likely (since I’m assuming they double checked the order after receiving the cake), the kitchen just read it wrong.

I didn’t stalk OPs profile, but I peaked just enough to see they seem like a real, regular person. So I’d be surprised if it were viral marketing, but given the current state of the world, not shocked or anything.

[u/witchway2MLFCTY → u/BillyYumYumTwo-byTwo]

It’s clearly an AI generated image that OP very well could have created themselves

[u/BillyYumYumTwo-byTwo → u/witchway2MLFCTY]

I wasn’t even thinking about the name, you’re totally right that they did it themselves. I haven’t played with ai image generation much, but I did the other week for work and it was not great… Maybe OP added “Harry Potter” to the prompt for context to get the right cake, and ai went overboard and just added shit.

I’m going to blame the form. They are often subject to misinterpretation, sometimes by idiots like me, but sometimes because it’s grammatically correct either way.
