AIBU to be disappointed in this cake…

I picked up dds cake today and it was not what I expected.

Would you be happy with this cake? I’ve attached two pics below, one was the pic I sent to the cake maker of what I wanted (a family dog) and the other picture is of the cake.

Also his head is made of Rice Krispies as apparently heads are hard to do. I wasn’t aware that it wouldn’t be all sponge.

It’s from a proper cake shop, not someone who does it as a hobby.

What do you all think?

I think it's pretty good... not sure what you was expecting? Unless you asked for a real life sculpture cake.

It’s lovely. It’s a cake not a sculpture.

The head out of Rice Krispies is standard for modelled cakes.

I think it's very cute! It's clearly not a realistic style, rather more cartoony, but it looks a good job and is recognisable as your dog.
The only thing I'd have a problem with is if you were missold. So do they have photos of realistic style cakes that you were expecting?

Looks good to me, as PP said I'm not sure what else you would have expected? I think I'd maybe be a bit annoyed about the Rice Krispies rather than sponge for the head though if it wasn't agreed in advance.

I think I was expecting it to look more like the dog.

It was £110, north west area

I think it’s cool. Looks ace.
Maybe the tongue is a bit odd. I’d maybe take that off.

It's adorable. What on earth did you want? A cake that looks like a taxidermied dog?

You could improve it a little by removing the tongue and re positioning the eyes to further down the face a spacing them. I'm sure it will be loved by the recipient. Smile

Looks great to me and I'd be very impressed if that was my cake for my 9th birthday.

Depends how much you paid. I’d say up to £50 it’s worth it.
More than that then it better taste amazing.
It is good though.
