It seemed like everuthing that could have gone wrong went wrong. The unicorn’s tail broke off this morning, the cake is lopsided, the colors look atrocious, and I couldn’t frost the cake neatly

The only thing I have going is that the funfetti is actually really good and it sorta looks silly/charming?

Am I overthinking this?

    aww i bet it’s still adorable in that rustic homemade way sometimes the messiest bakes are the most memorable and hey funfetti is always a winner i remember this one time i made a cake that was supposed to be a cat but everyone said it looked more like a weird blob monster lol it was still tasty though your coworkers will love it for sure

    Omg I’d be so impressed if my friend made me this cake!! I love the colors. I think this might just be a case of it’s starting to look bad to you because you’ve been looking at it for so long and you know all the details that went into it.

    I think its cute! Do you have a bigger piping tip for the swirls next time? You dont want to draw big circles with the tip to make those swirls. Just move it in a very small circle while pushing a lot of icing out and lifting up. That will make them nice and peaked instead of more spread out. Its hard to mix colors in the bag. I suggest putting stripes of color in the piping bag and filling the center with white. That will help prevent the colors from going muddy. I think your unicorn is so cute and I love the bite taken out!

  5. Is this the final product? It looks amazing ☺️

    i think this looks so good AND i can immediately follow the story of the decoration without any difficulty. that commenter who was like “i’m glad to learn that’s a tail” pffft it is very obviously a tail on a pigged out unicorn. i love it

    You’re overthinking it! This is so cute and I’d be so excited if someone made this for me!

    Did they eat it and smile? Looks good enough to eat to me 🙂

    That is so cute. Lol. It doesn’t look messy at all, it looks intentional. Silly unicorn!!

  15. deliberatewellbeing

    messy? that is both funny and fabulous!

  16. MyEggDonorIsADramaQ

    Someone (even a unicorn) who eats to the point of collapse would probably be a little messy. It’s adorable!

  17. FairyGodmothersUnion

    I think it’s perfect because it’s a food coma unicorn.

    This has the exact desired effect you’re going for.

    It’s fucking awesome.

    I think it’s hilarious. Sure it’s imperfect, but as others have said, it’s very clear what it is and I can’t say I’ve ever seen another cake like this before, so I think you’ve nailed it.

    This cake is so fucking cute 🥲💖

    Super cute idea. It looks to me that the unicorn binged on cake and then passed out on top. Very clever idea.
