Would you be happy with this cake

[fourfoxsakes]

Aibu that this cake is not the cake in the picture and the colours are completely off? Picked it up today and was quite disappointed, the shade of green is awful! I’ve added pictures for comparison of what I ordered vs what I got.

I’m not going to complain or cause a fuss just wondering if I’m right to be feeling a bit disappointed

I think the cake looks close enough to be fair. Did you ask for the green tho? pink and green is so popular at the minute because of wicked but if you didn’t ask for that I agree it’s an odd choice.

I think it looks great.

They both look pretty similar to me - which is the one you're complaining about? The one with 18 on it, or the one with Happy Birthday on it?
I don't like either, but both look fine if that's your cup of tea.

It looks lovely- I’d be happy with that

The green is much darker but overall it looks really nicely made and well iced. If anyone got a cake made for me professionally I would be delighted.

I ordered it on a website so I didn’t specifically request green

I think it looks lovely, it’s slightly darker than your inspiration pic but very on trend.

I actually think it looks fine. The green icing is slightly darker but it’s still a gorgeous cake and as near as damn it.

It's very similar. I don't really like it but that goes for the inspiration pic too - it's practically the same cake.

The green on yours is nicer than the inspiration pic imo.

It looks great to me.

I think it looks lovely but you clearly didn’t ask for the green icing so I can see why it’s not what you were expecting and I’d feel the same, the inspiration pic looks pink & cream icing to me, not green at all.

I like your one better..

It looks great! Surely any discussions around colours etc should have been confirmed at the time of ordering
if that’s not been done or ignored that’s a different matter

Sorry - which one is which? Both look nice! The one with the name crossed out, looks better than the other one in my opinion. I like the green. The 18 looks a bit solitary on the one on the left.

Is this the black and blue / white and gold dress all over again? The original pic clearly had green icing!

They clearly both have green icing! I think the one you received looks much nicer

Yes it definitely looks green to me. Pale green but definitely green imo.

Colours on photos often look different online to real life due to different lighting conditions, different screens, different cameras etc.
Both cakes look equally nice IMO.

I think yabu…they aren’t that different for starters, the colours on the cake on the right pic are more vibrant, guessing that’s the one you’ve been given? Every cake maker I’ve ever used have stipulated the design you send is just a guide, they are not allowed to copy someone else’s design in any way so they usually need to make it slightly different. I think it looks beautiful, and technically tricky, they’ve done a great job. I’d definitely not complain.

They're not the same, the second one is missing an inner layer of icing I think.

But they're both equally as nice. I want cake now.

Is that true? (That it's on trend). I think it's awful, it looks like something my mother would have made in the 70's. Is that piping stuff back in? My mum will be delighted if she's on trend. 🤣

I think the one you have is better than the original. The dishwater colour icing on the original isn’t as nice as what you have.

Both cakes are pink and green. Yes the first photo looks like a lighter green. However the cake you received looks lovely I’d be happy with it.

The one with the darker green icing looks better IMO.
