That looks good as hell. As an adult I would eat it, as a kid I would demolish it.

It’s for kids, I feel like you’re posting because you think it’s shit?

Looks good to me 👍

Working as a line cook now. Ask me to bake a cake, I’ll take half a day and a bunch of time in the internet and it won’t look as good as that! I can cook real good though, but bake be hard

I’d eat that without reservation. Sheet pan cakes are still cakes.

Is this at a restaurant? Was there a planned event? Sorry I’m only asking I don’t usually get to just make food for kids that’s why

Ask a non-baker to bake and you get this? Count your lucky stars it’s edible. Instead of trying to ridicule someone for not doing what you think is a good job, maybe educate them and teach them how to do it better.

OP, what is the tone of this post.

Better than I can do. Are you attempting to shame him? If he’s proud of it let him have his moment.

Maybe my brain is too literal, bc this comment section has me really confused 😅

I agree the garnish is kinda ugly, I get it OP. But moreso I agree with all the comments, wayyy better than what I could do. Cooks =/= bakers

OP just pissed because Sous didn’t offer them a piece

I wouldn’t put nuts or “ew green stuff” on a cake for kids, but oh well, it’s fine.
Iamthewalrusforreal
Yuck. I don’t think I could eat more than half of that myself.

The only thing I see wrong with this is that you’re flaming a guy for trying to do something nice for his kids…

I mean…that definitely looks like a line cook made it instead of a pastry cook. Especially the stripes on top and the mint leaves for garnish. 😛

Just because they’re blind, doesn’t mean they don’t like cake too!

He should be proud and I bet the kids loved it.

Why didn’t you do it then if you could clearly do a better job?
bigfanoffood
I like his implied slices.

I am on team sous
it’s for kids. if the parents/person in charge didn’t give any specifications on what decorations they wanted.
it doesn’t matter what it looks like.
kids do not care about that stuff. kids eat cheap dollar store chocolate that is expired and think it’s the most delicious thing they’ve tasted cos it’s sugar and chocolate.
that is also the reason why you don’t take children to fine dining places. do you honestly think a child cares that beef was wagyu and the carrots were made out of seafood puree and plated perfectly?.
kids don’t care about that shit.
sous did the right thing. he needed to make a cake for kids. he made one that the kids will find delicious and eat because it’s got sugar and cream in it. they will still enjoy it.

My grandmother owned a bakery. My mother decorated cakes professionally for more than 3 decades. Close to 20 years as a chef and I can’t bake to save my life. I pay 2 people well in a kitchen. The dishwasher and the poor bastard willing to fucking bake.

idk why people in here are acting like making a sheet cake is hard for anyone even halfway decent at following a recipe. any good cook should be able to do this. he could have at least cut it down the middle and stacked it to make layers. it looks like an actual whole slab of cake he put frosting on top of?

You can’t passive instinct baking, cooks are real good at course correction. Baking is math, cooks can bake about as well as swimmers can skydive.

I’m sure I’ll regret asking, but what was it *supposed* to look like?
