Is this cake embarrassing?

Would you be embarrassed to serve it at a party?

I would love it but I’m not 8.

Could you show it to her beforehand and she might love it or choose to take some of the flowers off to make it more grown up.

I think it’s great and no one else will have a cake like it.

@Livingthebestlife I agree, it looks delicious and that's what everyone will remember.

If you can't offer anything constructive with your criticism, you should really keep it to yourself.

It looks lovely OP but I probably would change the flowers as I don't think they go. I'd get some smaller sugar flowers in brighter colours

I love it!

Its clearly a home made cake by a mum with no cake decorating experience but its not embarrassing.

I would lose the flowers and leave the things on the top. The flowers are an odd thing to add imo

I wouldn't be embarrassed but I'd be worried about cutting it!

Lovely cake!

This - shes a lucky girl to have a mum who spent hours making and decorating a cake for her, and booked an expensive venue for her party.

I think thats quite harsh actually, I've known a couple of people who enthusiastically mmake cakes for others, and are v proud of their skills, who don't produce something as neat and attractive as that!

I wasn't sure which way to vote but it looks scrummy. I'd love it.
Kids in a peer group - who knows?
Unless you've checked out all the friends' cakes and done a proper requirements interview with the child you won't know till it's too late. Good luck.

Fantastic cake
What's not to like?

To be fair it's probably not appropriate for an after funeral tea...

No, it’s cute, and I am sure it’s yummy. I love chocolate cakes.

So should you for that matter

OP, it looks delicious and very festive!

But on a general point - can anyone explain the point of this fashion for tall cakes? I see a lot of vids on Youtube and photos of really tall cakes, instead of wider flat ones.

Aren't they really hard to cut and serve? I've seen some celebration cakes nearly a foot tall. How do you serve the slices? Do they fit on cake plates etc etc?

Personally I’d take off the 8 and the thing in front of the 8, so there’s just two models and the sign - then it would be perfect imo! But that’s just my taste, I reckon everyone will love it.

It's pretty awful tbh. But it is what it is and it's just a cake.

Oh THAT poster. They always post miserable stuff - I assume they are miserable in their life!

OP should just ignore.

There are some usernames that stick in the mind for the sheer delight they seem to get from sticking the boot in. Yours is the top of my list.

Cakes made with love are so much better than custom made.

What? No! It's gorgeous!

No, it's fine if you like chocolate?

The frosting is perhaps a bit overdone and messy but it's not even close to being embarassing

Made me smile. What has she asked for?

Its not harsh at all. Its just truthful, There isn't anything neat about it!
Its had chocolate frosting chucked all over it and some wafer paper flowers stuck on and some cheap toppers.

Like I said, its not embarrassing but it looks like a home made cake from someone who doesn't make cakes!

If her daughter is happy who cares? I am sure it tastes fine.

Wow! Did you have to be so mean?! Also it's not just a cake, it's her DD's 8th birthday cake 🎂
