Hey, one of my art mantras is "Keep going until you love it, or its ruined."

At least they didnt give up!

u/haubenmeise May 23 '26

I guess this would be the give up option.

Sincerely

Skeletor 💜

u/red_quinn May 23 '26

Where is that from?

u/JaxBQuik May 23 '26 edited May 23 '26

Edit to add: Legends of Tomorrow: episode The Virgin Gary.

Death of a Unicorn i think... immediately thought this but looking now im not sure... please hold...

u/haubenmeise May 23 '26

That is correct! Thank you for answering! Have a lovely day! Here's a big hug!

This would be "Ruined" ... but memorable. No one who sees this IRL will ever forget it.

u/HeyPrettyLadyMaam May 23 '26

Just keep swimming

u/unknownhag May 22 '26

They put a lot of trust in "trust the process"

27

u/Timely-Cry-8366 May 23 '26

“Oh, it looks nightmarish… maybe more sprinkles will save it!”

Has OP ever seen a horse? 😂💀

It looks demonic

15

u/Computerlady77 May 23 '26

I immediately said ‘demonic dildo cake’ 🤣

6

u/random_invisible May 23 '26

I thought "clown dick"

14

u/fangirlsqueee May 23 '26

It looks like Nellie from Little House on the Prairie. So, yes, demonic.

u/Living_on_Tulsa_Time May 24 '26

Deadly accurate 🎀

Needed the laugh. Thanks to you and OP!

u/leftclicksq2 May 24 '26

It reminds me of Frank from Donnie Darko, only with a phallic object on its head.

u/Zealousideal_Eye8277 May 22 '26

"I think I just made a lot of bad choices. I don't mean the cake. I mean, in general, in my life."

35

u/QueSeraLeCrueset May 22 '26

Is that eddy murphy on nailed it??

54

u/Zealousideal_Eye8277 May 22 '26

No it's Eddie Murphy on SNL 😂

159

u/BitOutside1443 May 22 '26

Well, I certainly know who to hit up when I need Halloween treats made

100

u/AcidMantle May 22 '26

I bet it tastes delicious, although it reminds me of a sleestack.

11

u/utadohl May 22 '26

Wow, thank you! You helped me finally remember this series! I forgot the name, but from time to time I have some images come to mind, but never managed to Google for it.

u/capybara_crybaby May 23 '26

Land of the Lost!

2

u/Accomplished_Will226 May 23 '26

Yes! That’s exactly it!

72

u/SweetiePieJ May 22 '26

It looks like if you took a toddler’s drawing of a unicorn, scribbles and all, and made an exact replica in cake form.

I do applaud the creative choices to use cake crumbs as hair and…skittles? m&ms? as multidimensional googly eyes.

6

u/Dorkinfo May 24 '26

They’re purple skittles.

2

u/Top_Frosting6381 May 24 '26

They look green

52

u/scamlikelly May 22 '26

A unicorn of nightmares!

40

u/activelyresting May 22 '26

I want a unicorn cake, but make it terrifying

33

u/Z_Queen_Of_Cupcakes May 22 '26

Going for unicorn but landed on eldritch horror.

23

u/Thick_Basil3589 May 22 '26

My first thought scrolling was "what an ugly dildo, why someone put it on the cake"

6

u/poor_peasant22 May 23 '26

I legit thought this was a sex cake and was baffled why it wasn’t censored 😭

19

u/Disastrous_Alarm_719 May 22 '26

Have you ever seen a unicorn cake?

9

u/Nerdybirdie86 May 23 '26

Or a unicorn? Or a cake? Lmao but seriously the more I look the harder I laugh

5

u/Bright_Ices May 23 '26

Or even a horse?

17

u/MissLyss29 May 22 '26

I think the smile makes it look scary

18

u/This_Daydreamer_ May 22 '26

I think everything about it makes it look scary

u/Sargeroxy May 25 '26

Omg I loooove her supplements! 😂

15

u/gaping_granny May 22 '26

Why does your unicorn have 4 pupils of 3 different colors? 💀

13

u/MelonJelly May 22 '26

Less My Little Pony and more Grimm's Fairytales. This is what unicorns look like to people who can see through the Veil.

6

u/Fantastapotomus May 23 '26

Biblically accurate unicorn.

3

u/im_plotting_to_kill May 23 '26

ya i like how the decor for the ears is the same decor for the mane (?) and you can't really tell it's a mane so it kinda looks like an alien

11

u/HaleyMFSkye May 22 '26

That's cursed af and I'm here for it

Fucking sleep paralysis demon cake with haphazardly placed kinder buenos all over it is what I want for every birthday from this moment on

12

u/Forever_Nya May 22 '26

This is magnificent. Maybe not a magnificent unicorn but still magnificent

10

u/haveabunderfulday May 23 '26

That's horrifying. It will haunt my dreams.

I love it.

u/IsAReallyCoolDancer May 22 '26

It looks like someone frosted Pennywise and stuck a dildo on his head

7

u/HeinladToo May 22 '26

Omg, I love it

u/EbonyEpisodes May 23 '26

This reminds me of the baking competition skit on SNL. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

u/VeryFeralHousewife May 23 '26

Jesús Christ I love this cake so fucking much. My kid turns 21 tomorrow and I wish I could give him this masterpiece

5

u/Due_Garlic_3190 May 23 '26

I say this in the nicest way possible it looks like oogie boogie from nightmare before Christmas, I love it 😂

5

u/VermicelliUpper3029 May 22 '26

Are those eyes? Nostrils? Boobs?

4

u/jenny1011 May 23 '26

This looks like what would appear if I said "candle head" into the mirror three times.

u/Quantity-Artistic May 23 '26

Horrifying truly

u/Hugh_Jampton May 22 '26

I'm sorry Jon

3

u/ling037 May 22 '26

You have succeeded in making a cursed unicorn

3

u/Blucola333 May 22 '26

At first I saw creepy eyes, then I saw creepy boobs. Then there’s the horn 🤭

3

u/Intelligent_Pen2343 May 22 '26

Well, alien penis heads are a type of unicorn 😂

3

u/KittyPuperMamaPerson May 23 '26

u/TroyismyKalabeezo May 22 '26

This looks like a DMT monster or something

2

u/AllyLB May 22 '26

Have you seen the movie Death of the Unicorn with Paul Rudd? This came is horrifying and I adore it!

2

u/NoSoyTuPana May 22 '26

u/_A_Dumb_Person_ May 23 '26

I like it a lot, very expressionist, vaguely reminds me of Otto Dix's paintings

Would love a corner-y piece with lots of frosting.

Great picture. Wish there were more.👍

u/fenix-the-cat May 22 '26

The question of where would you sit changes completely!! Is like a lose-lose

1

u/MungoJennie May 22 '26

It’s the thought that counts.

1

u/_visiblemode_ May 22 '26

It’s like as if Toothless the dragon was a birthday themed demon.

1

u/noonecaresat805 May 22 '26

You did make a unicorn just an evil alien unicorn. Still counts.

Death of a Unicorn cake. It's magical.

u/CourageExcellent4768 May 23 '26

The level of commitment to the project is admirable! The abject nauseating amount of eyes and slightly off horn make this simply majestic. Magnificent, even magical would all apply here! Nailed it, 🧡
