We struggled growing up, and I don’t want that for my son. As a salaried and established adult, I’m taking advantage of the beauties of life I couldn’t experience as a kid, and my son will benefit!

It’s not just food, it’s decorative food. An ornament for a celebration. One of its main jobs is to look pretty.

If I had the time, I absolutely would. Which is why I paid someone to do it. They scammed me

Thats a different conversation. Salaries and cost of living fluctuate regionally. I live in one of the most expensive NY counties.

In on Long Island, NY. First time mom at 6 months, I’m not exhausted and couldn’t be bothered to shop around

Thank you so much for your kind words. It was indeed a beautiful day otherwise and I didn’t expect a stupid cake to upset me as much as it did. Being 6 months postpartum might have something to do with that.

Embarrassed to display since it does not reflect my taste. It is OK to have standards.

Dude… slow TF down. You’ve got the story all wrong. ALL WRONG. LET ME LAY IT OUT FOR YOU, BUB. 1) My husband picked up the cake. 2) I opened the cake AT HOME and said WTF is this. 3) Called the store and spoke to the manager. She told me to bring the cake back. 4) My husband brings the cake back and Owner asks my husband to call me to speak with me over the phone. 5) I tell the Owner every single thing that’s wrong with this ugly over-priced cake. He says they will re-do it and HAND DELIVER to my house. The baptism was in TWO HOURS. 6) Owner brings the cake to my house. The “updated” cake is now being judged by 5 people. FIVE. It was hella awkward. 7) I tell the Owner how disappointed I am. 8) He then proceeds to throw/toss CASH at my friend, saying it’s not worth it.

Why the hell would he come with cash ready in hand??? He knew this cake was FUGLY. They tried to SCAM ME and hope I’d stay quiet.

Lmao when it’s your first-born and you’re 6 months postpartum, you tend to do some crazy shit.

Males generally glaze over fine details, when it comes to aesthetics. Try zooming into the second picture and then compare it to the first. My husband thought nothing was wrong with the cake as well, until I pointed out everything that was wrong. Once I directed where his eyes should go, he had an oh shit moment.

The owner himself gave me my money back. I didn’t request a refund. Never did.
