They resemble a poop emoji 🤣

YouWillFindMeInTheGarden · 22/07/2025 20:22

Sorry those look awful! Ordered from whom?

Olika · 22/07/2025 20:23

They look like my kid would have made them. Really don’t like them. Look very amateurish.

AmberMae · 22/07/2025 20:24

WTH terrible 😩🫣😬

W0tnow · 22/07/2025 20:24

What did you pay for them? They do look like this a bit… 💩

It’s a kids party I presume? As long as they tasted ok and I hadn’t paid over the odds for them I could live with it. Maybe even have a laugh about them!

SpacedOutOut · 22/07/2025 20:27

ByMintLion · 22/07/2025 20:29

It was from a professional. Not for a kids party.

Are they meant to be a poop emoji? If so they’re perfect.

Jennps · 22/07/2025 20:29

Whoever sold you those is trolling you, OP.

FloraBotticelli · 22/07/2025 20:30

Has the icing curdled? You haven’t said how much you paid but I’d be embarrassed to serve these!

YouWillFindMeInTheGarden · 22/07/2025 20:35

’professional’ how? How do you decide someone is a professional?

is it just a small business of some sort

ByMintLion · 22/07/2025 20:37

They are from a bakers, whom we use regularly. They were for a corporate event ( something like promotion do, for our company)

Their whole business is making cakes etc.

OP posts:
ByMintLion · 22/07/2025 20:39

They were about £2 each

HappydaysArehere · 22/07/2025 20:42

Certainly don’t look professional.

Looks like someone wanted to make a joke. Are you sure poop emoij cakes weren't asked for ? My 15 year old would find this great for his anniversary. Me too because I wouldn't be tempted to eat any.

DiscoBob · 22/07/2025 20:46

They look weird. Like what is the stuff on top, dried fruit, flowers?

There's not enough decorations and the icing does look wonky and a bit turd-esque.

I guess if they taste great and the other cakes look lovely then it might not be a disaster. But £2 each is a lot for something that random looking.

Was it meant to be themed somehow?

I'd say a refund on that box is reasonable.

allthemiddlechildrenoftheworld · 22/07/2025 20:49

@ByMintLion are they meant to look like poo???? bloody hell a 5 year old could have piped the frosting better than that! did you ask for brown frosting????

ByMintLion · 22/07/2025 20:50

Yes requested a refund on just that flavour, as couldn't serve them. They said they were shocked, as they were pleased with them(no kidding) and will not be refunding. Just for confirmation, they were for an very grown up event, no poop emoji breifs given - just standard ol cupcakes 😂

DuesToTheDirt · 22/07/2025 20:50

They look like I made them. And that's not a compliment.

Arlanymor · 22/07/2025 20:52

I could do a better job and I am not a baker! They look grim - first bite is with the eye right?

Definitely look like poop. I would be embarrassed to serve those.
