Is this cake embarrassing?

Would you be embarrassed to serve it at a party?

Thank you but trust me, it had flaws and my mind instantly glossed over anything nice and straight into the bad bits.
I've realised now that as long as the person receiving it is happy, that's all that matters.
Your daughter will love her cake! And even if she finds it 'embarrassing', later on she will realise it was perfect.

Also, if it tastes good (which I'm sure it will!), that's all you need 😁

It's amazing....I always remember the cakes my mum made for me when I was growing up....she will love it!

I don’t think the cake is embarrassing at all, OP. I think it’s adorable! Just don’t take it too seriously, or worry how it goes down. Anyone who gives a shit about how perfect the cake is is a twat

Not embarrassing and super adorable! A lovely memory that you put in so much effort for your daughter

I like it!

For an 8yo's birthday party? Not at all (presuming they like capybaras, ofc!)
I'd be well chuffed to have produced that, it's 1000 times better than anything I could do and that is why I buy all birthday cakes! Stop beating yourself up.

It looks fabulous..I'd be delighted to eat it!

It’s lovely! And whoever has said it’s embarrassing is an absolute moron. It’s gorgeous and lovely to make your kids cakes. I’ve made all my kids’ so far and I love doing it for them even though they’re far from perfect!

I honestly thought it was professionally made until I saw your replies to some (IMHO) harsh comments.

Anyone who judges you for it, including your DD, needs to learn the value of things. A cake lovingly made by your mum or dad, is worth so much more than one made by someone paid to do it. And it’ll be legendary in the photos, in a way perfect, paid-for things can never be.

Authenticy rocks! No need to feel cringe 💐

Harsh 😔

I work with children too…the stupidity would be allowing them access to a piece of cake with the plastic toy on top. Will remove before dishing out (obviously)

No. It’s cute. I don’t recognise the theme but I’m guessing it’s a well known character and that a little kid would love it.

The cake looks lovely!

😂OP it's a brilliant cake, and a homemade cake is the absolute bee's knees. Have a lovely party.

It’s amazing! I love it!

OmG if I was a kid at a party I'd be fighting to get in line for this!!

Charming chocolately, happy looking, reminiscent of fun and mouth watering. Hit all the bases!!

I'd love that.

It’s lovely!

Looks great. I wish I had the talent to create a cake like that.

Honestly, deliver it with pride! It looks full of love and kindness. Anyone that can’t see that is blind to the meaning of life.

Edit to say it looks great too, but don’t be put off by the pristine control freaks.

It’s a great cake and most importantly looks delicious.

You said you don’t know how to cut it - bring a big knife and a very clean chopping board (not one that tastes like garlic…) and do this.

Aww I think it’s lovely! And it looks delicious, all that chocolate… could demolish a slice of that now! I hope your daughter has a lovely birthday and the cake goes down a treat!

OP, this cake looks wonderful. You’ve made a birthday cake for your daughter’s party and that’s a really special thing. She may not see it on the day but when she’s a parent she’ll look back and want to replicate that kind of love. She’s a lucky kid.

Love it @Juststickitonthetopandcallitaday
I think some people hold the opinion that if something isn't pro level insta worthy then it's embarrassing. That's quite a sad state for them. The rest of us are smiling because we have chocolate cake.

Have you got a big fridge otherwise I can see it sliding across the table!
