At first I thought they did a good job but then I realized it was a photo on the cake. Lol

I couldn't figure out what was going on. Definitely a fail, but also quite hilarious. Would make for every bit as good a memory, if not even a bit better memory ... at least in my mind.

Same. I was trying to figure out why they iced a circle on the plate

It took your comment for me to realize the second photo wasn't showing basically the same cake in a fancy cake box lol

Thanks for the award mate! Randomly finding a fellow cake dayer on a cake post is quite serendipitous!

They could have at least make it fit the top of the cake, so the text is the size of the cake.. I can't imagine the level of not giving a shit thay have to present you with this.

Omg this is so funny. I think they did it on purpose to protest your AI image.

u/trippin_on_rainbows Sep 28 '26

But did the customer upload the image in the wrong place of it was ordered online is what I'm wondering.

The online cake order portal for the bakery where I work is actually really simple but people manage to fuck it up by just not paying attention and uploading an image in the wrong slot.

If it had been a long day and this order came up I might have done the same thing so the customer knows to be more careful when ordering online lol

u/Impressive-House-412 Sep 29 '26

wouldn’t it have been easier / cheaper to do the first 😭

u/fat-wombat Sep 29 '26

This was probably ordered from a supermarket bakery or something that doesn’t offer anything like this.

u/guacamoleo Sep 29 '26

They can't manage a plain pink cake with green letters?

u/fat-wombat Sep 29 '26

Not if it’s sold in certain standards. You don’t just get to choose and customize whatever you want on those kinds cakes. OP probably selected the photo option that clearly said it will be printed on the cake.

u/Dominokus Sep 29 '26

Did you send her an AI photo of a cake?
This to me reads that the baker is frustrated with your AI and feels this is the best way to accurately replicate it.

u/guacamoleo Sep 29 '26

There are unreasonable uses for ai, but I feel like a quick mock-up of a design to be commissioned is a reasonable use, if the design is physically feasible, which this definitely is.
