I made this cake for a woman today based upon an order form that simply stated that she wanted pink flowers and what is written on it. I think it came out beautiful. However, when my coworker handed the cake over to the woman, (I was on a break, so not present) the woman said "I just want you to know, I don't think this cake is pretty." No further comments, no constructive criticism. What did she think would come out of her saying that? I just think it's an odd thing to say.

Anyway, have any of you had a strange comment like this?

Edit: I have been a grocery store cake decorator for 7 months with no prior experience and only got maybe 2 days with a trainer. Everything I do is self taught; I am the only day shift decorator in my bakery.The border is a bright pink, not red. It just comes across more red in the photo.

Please ignore my horribly stained turntable pad, I have been begging for a new one 🫠

You guys all had a lot of fantastic suggestions but unfortunately I am limited in that I can't add any height or it won't fit in the container and I can only use buttercream, there were quite a few that I considered but special shout out to v4n3554 for the AI image that really helped me visualize what this would look like.

I'm absolutely blown away by the show of support in my last post. This has hands down been the worst and most traumatic year of my 35 years, and reading all those kind words warmed my heart more than I can express in words. This post has some of my personal favorites from the last couple years, whereas the last post was just some recent cakes I liked. I hope you enjoy looking!

Red velvet cake

Hope you enjoy!

Just wanted to share! Def was a learning curve. I piped chocolate to make the little guys and used tweezers to add the sprinkles to make the skiers/ snowboarders. And of course I made it a confetti cake!

(For those

...And practice with mashed potatoes I did. I had the bright thought of making a meat loaf in cake pans and frosting it with mashed potatoes, but Im actually so shocked at how it came out cuz why does it actually look decent HAHAHA Especially as a beginner, Im amazed at the results of my mashed potato meatloaf cake. Prettiest dinner Ive ever made. Any advice on my piping is still appreciated!!

I am gonna give this cake to my coworkers to taste test, it was a dream to pipe on.

I’ve always been posting her work (and her cousin) and have gotten interested in decorating. Always loved being artistic and this is a fun and enjoyable way to express it. Plus I get to spend more time with my favorite person.

We both work at Walmart she’s a decorator and I bounce between deli/bakery and have gotten to jump in with the holidays approaching. And helped with one of her home orders.

These are my contributions. They're a half sheet and 8" round respectively.

video showing the full cake posted on other subreddits. was the hardest & most fun cake i've made so far.

I work at Safeway as a cake decorator and I’ve been enjoying it!

All are made with yellow or chocolate cake and decorated with vanilla American buttercream,

just a few recent cakes I’ve done!! plus cupcakes and cookies!! Ive been liking anything floral and pastel lately!!!

Vanilla chiffon, lemon curd, blueberry compote, SMBC with freeze dried blueberry powder, and sheep!

This was a super fun just-for-fun cake to practice making my own fillings. The design was inspired by my favorite tank top (last picture) 🤣.

I attempted to create a lace-y look on the top, not sure it worked 🤷‍♀️

.. you make a marble cake 😄.

Just wanted to try out a new recipe and use up some florals I had frozen.
