Family member was retiring from UPS so I made him this cake. The good news is he’s still speaking to me.
I designed and 3d printed some stencils for the details and did a buttercream transfer for the tape. The buttercream I made didn't work so well for the transfer so it got a little smeary but I'm happy with it overall!

This is completely amazing! And sometimes packages do show up to your house looking like they went to hell and back so I love how this captures that vibe lol

OMGGGGG, legit thought that was on purpose! Packages sometimes really do go through hell and back! 🤣 Great job!

That looks fantastic. I thought it was a real package that had gotten wet. You are very talented. You also have a wicked sense of humor.

At first glance, I thought it was a soaked parcel until I realized what sub this is. Anyway, it is a very nicely done cake! Congrats! Best wishes to the retiree!

I legitimately thought that you were showing us your package that got rained on and just about destroyed. Well done. I didn’t know it was cake until I read the description!!!

I like your cake b/c there’s actually cake in there instead of just frosting. Every time I see a fancy cake, I just roll my eyes and know that the inside probably sucks. You got the message across and I bet the inside is delicious.

Holy shit haha I was wondering “where cake?” Love it!

Uhm.. this is amazing and the “smeary buttercream” you reference goes perfectly with the overall look of the cake! This is so well done!

I thought we were about to be outraged that the Amazon driver left your package in the rain until I realized it was the baking sub. This is really well done! You did great.

HOLY *CRAP!!!* 😱
THAT^ was a cake?!?!? Not gonna lie, I thought it was pretty legit after some packages I’ve received…. 😅
You did an AMAZING job!

Looks great! The only thing you got wrong is that it’s full of cake instead of inflated airbags and a single chocolate chip cookie.

Great job!

Deliver this one into your mouth.

I thought for sure this post would be a crash out over rusted baking utensils, but this rocks! Please add more dents and strange off-colour stains to really sell it next time.

Should have given it to him 3 days late and dropped it on the floor.
