Tell me the truth - cake

So, I’ve literally spent all day baking this cake for my son’s birthday. He wanted a Miles Morales Spider-Man themed cake, featuring the Spot.

I’ve been battling indoor temperatures of 27.5 degrees and finding it stressful. I’m going to refrigerate it and tidy up some of the icing tomorrow morning…but, response from DH was ‘it’s fine!’. Am I wrong to feel upset. It’s not perfect, but my back is killing, it cost a fortune and I’m shattered. He’s backtracking now, but it’s too late. P’d off now and looking for something a bit more constructive or even some finishing advice.

thanks

And I thought the response couldn’t get any worse than ‘it’s fine’. Guess I was wrong.

It’s a troll. Likely a 12 year old boy, from the sound of their silly posts.

OP, gorgeous cake! Well done.

Absolutely no need! How do comments about a cake lead to that? Honestly, some people! You did fantastic to do that cake in this heat!

Hotandverybothered · 17/06/2023 00:23

My granddaughter is obsessed with Spider-Man…your cake is absolutely beautiful. Ignore the first poster! X

Me too!

CoreyTaylorsSoggyTshirt · 17/06/2023 00:23

Sorry a troll hijacked your thread op.

I wish I could make a cake like that,and if someone put even 10% of the effort you've put into that cake for my birthday I would probably cry.

Your son is a lucky boy, hope he has an amazing birthday, and you get a nice break after all your hard work.

LeftyLou · 17/06/2023 00:24

"It's fine" understatement!
Looks fab OP. Happy Birthday to your little boy 😊

Eyesofdisarray · 17/06/2023 00:25

It's great OP, and in this heat too!!!
Enjoy!!

Iris1976 · 17/06/2023 00:26

I've reported the vile poster.
Op the cake is absolutely fab,I bet your son will be so pleased.

Livinginaclock · 17/06/2023 00:29

Excellent job given the heat.
Hope your son has a lovely birthday.

Mumof118 · 17/06/2023 00:30

Thank you all. I really appreciate the kind words. Baking this cake has given me a new respect for cake makers!!!
I hope DS loves it, that’s all that matters.

Thank you for reporting that awful poster too.

Also reported the abusive post.

The cake is fab! I don't think most people understand how much time and effort it takes to make and decorate a cake, unless you've tried yourself, and how hard it is to make it look good. That is a great effort!

TennisWithDeborah · 17/06/2023 00:31

He’ll be delighted!

Cascais · 17/06/2023 00:32

It’s brilliant

theginge · 17/06/2023 00:34

I too have spent the evening making a cake in a boiling hot kitchen so feel your pain! Yours looks brilliant, you should be very proud of it! Well done!

goldenlocks · 17/06/2023 00:34

Yum! Happy birthday celebrations :)
