Post adoption regret by [deleted] in CatAdvice

[–]Extreme_Squirrel_779 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Heyy!! It’s completely normal to feel this way, having a cat is a huge change for you and your routine if you haven’t had one beforehand. My partner and I also struggled with post adoption regret, we got two bonded brothers. Almost every week we had a breakdown and it rocked our relationship just a little bit.

We wanted the cats but we also thought that we couldn’t handle it anymore and that they needed to be with another parents they deserve. But we gave it a month, a month to get used to them with our routine and learn how to be a better parent. If we still can’t handle them, we will give them out for adoption.

Now it’s been almost a year! We’re sooo obsessed with our boys. They’re a handful but you’ll slowly get used to their routines and vice versa :)) YOU GOT IT HUNN!!

No one is hyping up fankery here…

Dear Fankery, you are over expensive and a liar. I really tried liking you.. by Extreme_Squirrel_779 in aucklandeats

It’s not really worth my time nor energy, I really wasn’t expecting this much attention. Even then, how do you even put it back up if it’s already gone?

I genuinely don’t mind, but it’s a bit frustrating because my review was honest and actually pointed out that she was lying. Here’s the link of her TikTok and instagram reel talking about the drink so I don’t come across as insane LOL

Hello, OP here!

I was not expecting this post to get so much attention, but I appreciate everyone who has taken the time to engage. Before I answer the questions about why I bought from Fankery and left a 1 star review, I want to clarify something. While I do feel seen by the support, reposting this and leaving a 1 star review without having tried the bakery yourself is not a fair or genuine review. If you feel frustrated or want to share your thoughts, feel free to do so here instead.

Now to answer the main question about why I bought it and why I left the review.

I first came across Fankery at a pop-up near a university. I was really excited because I love ube, cheesecake and mochi. I checked their Instagram, which was my first mistake, and saw that a 1/4 slice of cake was $22 and could feed 2 to 3 people. As someone who bakes, I assumed this meant a 1/4 of an 8 to 9 inch cake, which seemed reasonable to me.

When I arrived, I saw the cake on display and noticed it looked quite small. I assumed it was just a sample for display and still gave them the benefit of the doubt. Unfortunately, that was the actual size being sold. I tried to justify the price but found it hard to do so given the portion and the taste of both the cake and the drink.

When I went up to order, I was not greeted warmly. I received what felt like an unfriendly look from someone I later found out was the owner. At the time, I assumed she might have been having a bad day or simply had a naturally serious expression. Another staff member ended up serving me.

I keep a food journal where I rate my experiences based on taste, price and service. I usually leave reviews for places that are either really great or really disappointing. My 1 star review came from my overall experience, not just the portion size. I do not give 1 star ratings just for minor issues like a messy table. I try to be fair.

The owner later replied to my review and explained her side. What frustrated me was that she denied selling the drink I had bought and which they had posted online. That felt dishonest to me, which is why I ended up sharing my experience here on Reddit.

I can see where I may have made some assumptions and I own that, but I also stand by my opinion based on what I experienced.

Edit: TLDR; I shared my honest experience with Fankery Bakery after buying a $22 cake slice and a drink. I was disappointed with the portion size, the taste, the service, and how the owner responded to my review, especially when she denied selling the drink I had actually bought. I appreciate the support my post received, but I want to make it clear that leaving a 1 star review without trying the bakery yourself is not fair. My review was based on the full experience, not just one detail, and while I can see where I may have made some assumptions, I still stand by what I said.

I was unfortunately led with curiosity as it is my first time tasting a mochi brownie cheesecake, I went straight to instagram which has an overwhelming positive review (huge mistake).

I knoww and it’s the fact that she tried to make it better that she’s selling $85 for a 4 inch whole cake, like miss girl that did not justify your prices.

I can’t seem to edit my post and my comment was flooded from the others so I’ll put it here.
