Coconut cake made for coworker who’s allergic to coconut (and is turning 57, not 56)

DragonScrivner@reddit

It’s very … wet looking

Did the baker know your coworker is allergic to coconut?

[-]

ryandiggy@reddit (OP)

Apparently there was some miscommunication. When asked, she said she wanted “anything but coconut” and that was somehow relayed as “we need ALL the coconut you have on hand”

[-]

That happened to me. My friend ask what I want for a cake for my birthday and I said anything but chocolate. He brought a chocolate cake. I am allergic to chocolate. It wasn’t a Big deal as I also brought an extra cake that was not chocolate.

RemoteCartoonist4758@reddit

My mum asked my favorite kind of cheesecake, and I said anything but chocolate. She misheard and went to every bakery in town for my birthday looking for one who would make a chocolate cheesecake. I didn't have the heart to tell her, so she still thinks it's my favorite.

[-]

pythonidaae@reddit

Awww. Maybe you can just decide you suddenly don't like it anymore. So she doesn't think she's been fucking up all these years but Now you don't like it anymore so she doesn't get it for you anymore and she knows a new favorite?

[-]

SheepPup@reddit

Just say you ate too much of it once and it made you ill and now you can’t stand it anymore even though it used to be your favorite. I did that once as a kid with those soft cookies with frosting, it took me YEARS to not get nauseous at just the smell of them

My uncle loved banana pudding. After he died, his cousin (who makes the banana pudding), got confused and thinks my dad is the one who likes banana pudding. So now she brings banana pudding to every event and excitedly tells my dad she made it for him, so he chokes it down because nobody has the heart to tell her.

[-]

RedOneHitter@reddit

How is that such a hard request that she had to go to multiple shops with cheesecake to find it

[-]

tepig37@reddit

I tried to make a chocolate cheese cake.

The recipe said to use melted choclate. Unsurprisingly the melted choclate in the cold cheese instantly went hard.

I've seen cheese cakes flavoured with choclate and other things. But very few just choclate.

[-]

ProfessionalCumDiver@reddit

Did the person making the recipe forget cocoa powder is a thing?

[-]

SupernaturalPumpkin@reddit

You're supposed to use cocoa powder? Any I've made, and I make them a lot, it's powder not melted chocolate.

It's also much easier with an electric mixer. You could probably get enough power there toox on melted chocolate, but I must say I've never done it.

Some of the recipes have used Philadelphia cheese with chocolate already mixed in but now that I think of it, I haven't seen the chocolate version of that in years. I also was told before that it's not available in the US.

But cocoa powder will work at least!

[-]

CompetitionOdd1746@reddit

I've made [white] chocolate cheesecake with melted chocolate successfully many times.

You need to bring the cheese up to room temperature first, then add the melted chocolate.

[-]

SupernaturalPumpkin@reddit

It's not that it doesn't work. It's that it's not the most common or the easiest method when cocoa powder is available. I also find that white chocolate behaves a lot differently to milk or dark chocolate personally.

ValiantValkyrieee@reddit

wdym flavored with chocolate "and other things?" like chocolate + peanut butter, or like using a chocolate source as well as vanilla?

plain chocolate cheesecake is incredibly simple to make, just add a bit of cocoa powder to your standard recipe. you might need a touch more liquid depending on how much powder you use, but just like an extra tablespoon or two

Eyyyyy, fellow person allergic to chocolate!! Is it purely a chocolate allergy, or a caffeine allergy?

It’s very difficult to try to get people to realize something has chocolate/caffeine in it because they never really thought about it and I almost die lol. That sneaky white chocolate is also dangerous 😞

This is why I always carry my EpiPen on me at all times lol

[-]

fluffyscone@reddit

I am only allergic to chocolate not caffeine. my chocolate allergy symptoms are migraines. I’m so sorry to hear yours is so severe. You really have to be careful because I noticed people don’t care if you tell them that you’re allergic to chocolate. So many people love chocolate they think I’m faking my allergy to chocolate because it’s so uncommon and loved by everyone.

if I really wanted to eat chocolate I can but I just have to prepare myself for a migraine afterwards. It’s not worth having migraines just to eat chocolate.

DeathsEmbassy@reddit

Something similar that happened to me was when I went to the bank to withdraw some money for a trip. They asked what denominations of bills I wanted and I said I wanted a small number of bills, they started counting out the money using the smallest bills they had.

[-]

spookysaph@reddit

to be fair, they asked you a specific question and you gave a semi unrelated answer. just tell them what denominations you want like they asked

[-]

SupernaturalPumpkin@reddit

If someone told me they wanted the smallest number of bills, I'd assume they want the largest notes. Because if you use the smallest ones, you will have a large number of bills?

[-]

spookysaph@reddit

yeah but if you're a bank teller and you do this a hundred times a day, and the rest of the 99 times people actually answered the question that you asked, it makes sense that there would be confusion

[-]

DeathsEmbassy@reddit

It was a very casual conversation, do you have a preference for bills, no just the smallest amount please.

[-]

wondering_spider_@reddit

In their defense you did answer that like a math problem lmao “small or large denominations?” “I’d like a small amount* of bills please :)” lmao

[-]

Mission-Street-2586@reddit

Yeah, you can’t say that to some people. It’s like saying, “quarter ‘til noon.” They’ll short circuit and clearly only heard, “anything with coconut.”

[-]

Aleks1224@reddit

What's funny is I once watched a short video on when you need to tell a toddler/ small child to not to do something, you shouldn't say "don't do this" or "stop doing this" and it needs to be a redirection. Like:

"don't run around with the scissors!" ❌
"put the scissors on the table", "give me the scissors" or "drop the scissors, pick up that toy" (anything really) ✔️

Because the little kid will not hear the "don't" and will really only focus on the "run around with scissors!" So if you redirect them to do something that still achieves what you need, without using "no" or "don't", you have a higher success rate.

I say this because it appears not everyone grows out of that phase of life, looool 😆

[-]

incandescentink@reddit

You just gotta be careful how you word things with kids lol, my sister told her son to "just throw that hanger anywhere except the floor" when he asked where to put it. 30s later her other son came to her crying because his brother had thrown the hanger at his face...

[-]

theonewholeans@reddit

yeah anyone adult but half listening will do the same! as someone who has had to cut out certain foods (and had a toddler with an allergy no less!)

I'm wrong, just the lighting and top-down angle removes depth and makes the cake look extremely flat/thin in the bottom of the pan with the other elements appearing to float on top. Just a very uncanny lookin photo.

Feel this in my soul as someone allergic to gluten and corn.

Coconut should be an easier one to avoid! But! Nope!

[-]

Dunmeritude@reddit

I have a coconut allergy. It's insidious, the oil is in fucking everything. It's in SO many soaps, shampoos, lotions and hygiene products. It's in ice cream, sometimes even chocolate. It's used as an emulsifier in many vegan food replacements, so I usually can't eat at the same places as any vegan friends of mine. Even the fucking husk fibers are a common garden and potting soil ingredient.

[-]

Consistent-Menu-6629@reddit

I didn't realize it was in potting soil! The first time I met someone with a coconut allergy, I was working at a "mix your own lotion" bar and they asked if I could accommodate them... Unfortunately, I absolutely couldn't, that place was COVERED in coconut oil, everything had coconut in it.

I'd usually think coconut wouldn't be that hard to avoid... But it's in a lot of stuff, especially any sort of hygiene product. It's a really popular ingredient in recent years.

[-]

Dunmeritude@reddit

Coco coir! It's coconut husk fibers. Very popular for aeroid plants.

[-]

rci22@reddit

Every time I hear about a corn allergy I always think “how do you survive” because like all processed foods utilize corn

[-]

Consistent-Menu-6629@reddit

I felt the same way... And then just, developed the allergy 🫠

It's going okay, but, it's the most annoying one! Corn is in EVERYTHING, including medication!

[-]

rci22@reddit

Do inedible products bother you too?

Google says it’s also in “biodegradable plastics (cutlery/packaging), disposable diapers, hand sanitizer, cosmetics (blush/eyeshadow), toothpaste (sorbitol), paints, adhesives, and ethanol fuel” so I was like “dang, HAND SANITIZER??”

[-]

ModishShrink@reddit

I'm not going to lie, usually corn doesn't give me issues, unless I digest as plastic cutlery. I haven't been able to find a pill for that either...

[-]

rci22@reddit

After eating a few handfuls of plastic cutlery? Haha

[-]

MagnoliaProse@reddit

Also corn allergic! When I had surgery they had a giant sign on my door not to use hand sanitizer!

Unsure if I react to paper plates/plastic silverware, but I definitely react to sanitizer, makeup, toothpaste (way more than just sorbitol there!), and most cleaning products. I have to wear a mask to do some of kids medicine because pouring in the powder is enough to cause a GI reaction.

[-]

Consistent-Menu-6629@reddit

Dang!! Thankfully, I am not that sensitive to it!

I know some people must be way more sensitive... And it would suck SO BAD!!

I'm very sensitive to gluten, but the corn thing isn't nearly as bad for me.

[-]

ScroochDown@reddit

When I was younger, I knew a woman who was so allergic to corn that she couldn't even go near the movie theater end of the mall. Apparently the smell of the popcorn would trigger her allergy if she got too close to the theater. 😳

[-]

Daddyssillypuppy@reddit

I used to have that problem when I was a child but luckily for me it slowly got better. I don't know if I was allergic or it just triggered my asthma because it was only a problem when popcorn was actively being cooked. I had no problems with pre-packaged popcorn but struggled a bit with the small bench top popcorn maker at home and couldn't go near the movie theatre without having breathing issues for hours afterwards.

Now i still find it unpleasant but I don't feel like Im suffocating in thick popcorn air.

[-]

134824@reddit

With the hand sanitizer its probably alcohol distilled from corn, I honestly have no idea if it is, but I would guess its fine since at that point it doesnt really have much to do with corn anymore.

[-]

kurly-bird@reddit

I have a soy allergy. That stupid bs is in everything!

FeatherlyFly@reddit

I used to live near a bakery-cafe that specialized in gluten free and allergen sensitive. They had no nuts, gluten, dairy, or peanuts, but they could not find a good chocolate that didn't include soy.

Luckily I don't care for chocolate, but soy lecithin is in pretty much every chocolate brand

The kitkats aren’t melted, they’re covered in caramel and chocolate syrups - you can see the syrups in places on the rest of the cake.

ryandiggy@reddit (OP)

The rainbow candies are Smarties. In Canada, we have this variety pack that comes with KitKat, Smarties, Coffee Crisp, and Aero. That’s what was used to make the numbers and everything. It’s definitely not pretty and the cake is extremely thin. But that’s why I posted it here. Because it’s shitty.

Painted-BIack-Roses@reddit

May as well just not order pizza at all since vegans exist...there are a lot less vegetarians than you think

[-]

mahboilucas@reddit

And we should ignore their existence because there's less of them than meat eaters?

It's 1/3 of my workplace, as I said. Not ordering any vegetarian pizza would be seriously fucked up on the manager's part. It's a standard wedding package as well, at least in Central Europe.

[-]

Just order a bunch of cheese pizzas and a couple pepperoni. It's an office lunch break, not your wedding day.

The “vaguely unfamiliar candy” are smarties - coated chocolate drops similar to M&Ms, commonly found in the UK and a few other countries.

Food science exists, look into it 2. Looks like a ton of candy I’ve seen and politely declined so sure I’d if anyone has consumed them 3. “Excellent” chocolate drizzle? Looks like they could barely get it to drizzle. 4. It what realm do you live in where you bake the coconut on the cake already? Unless you’re specifically doing a toasted coconut cake, you don’t. And even then, it’s for the last little bit of baking.

AI slop

[-]

ryandiggy@reddit (OP)

It’s not AI. I’m totally against using AI for something like this. If you look on the “5” you can see the KitKat logo underneath the sauce. If that’s not enough I’ll post the picture with the metadata from my phone. I don’t know how else to prove it but it’s a real picture.

[-]

The_dev0@reddit

Don't waste your breath. Because nothing happens in these smoothbrain's lives, they project that into /r/EverythingIsAI . It's embarrassing for them, really. It just shows up how socially inept they are (and secondly how they have no idea as to how to recognise actual AI generated or modified content).

[-]

sidewalktimbit@reddit

Should I kill myself

[-]

WinifredZachery@reddit

That is not what the KitKat logo looks lile, though.

[-]

WinifredZachery@reddit

Have you looked at the picture? And the logo on the actual chocolate bars! The one in the picture is a K in a circle! It is on its head in the picture. At max this could be the middle K of the logo, but where would the first one be? That would be touching exactly where the circle meets the esge of the bar.

[-]

loliwarmech@reddit

Have you seen a bar irl recently? The logo on the actual bars are cropped slightly. Here's a pic from a 2017 article https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-05-17/kitkat-s-four-fingers-fourth-time-unlucky-in-trademark-row

Ok but how is this a cake? It looks like a top layer of a cake with no depth at all. It’s in a deep container as well……?

_rosebean@reddit

Here, have another downvote

[-]

sidewalktimbit@reddit

I’m honestly not sure it just looked very very strange and then I zoomed in and the details weren’t right. That’s not what shredded coconut looks like, the candies/m&ms are lumpy, the sauce looking like that doesn’t make sense

[-]

Inevitable_Nobody733@reddit

Have you seen shredded coconut in real life? Like the run of the mill store brand? Cause that is exactly how it looks. As for the sauce, food science exists. The “m&ms” aren’t m&ms. M&ms are not the only spherical color coated candies to exist

[-]

QueezyF@reddit

Those are Smarties, not M&Ms. I think it’s just a weird gross cake.

[-]

Fantastapotomus@reddit

Yeah, this is a “cake” made by someone who googled some instagram techniques (like the weird ass glaze on the KitKat poops) but has zero real world knowledge on how to bake.

Just one bad decision after another. No way ai is making up something this sloppy— look at the rim of the baking dish like someone with a sinus infection went to town. This is slop, just not of the ai variety.

[-]

horklum@reddit

I think it’s kind of wild to use such an absolute term as “AI slop” and then saying “I’m not sure” when asked to explain it

[-]

ToggleMoreOptions@reddit

I can forgive the lumpy m&Ms and even the sauce banding. I just think the way it clings to the kit kats is odd

[-]

TTV_SgtScoots@reddit

To me the reflections on the sauce make no sense and contradict each other

[-]

Anybuddyelse@reddit

Okay the suggestion that this is AI is actually sending me with uncertainty bc on second glance, it looks totally wrong. It’s too glossy. And why is there a purple MnM?! But then also, coconut DOES look like that if it’s not cooked, one of the kit kats maintains part of its imprint and the others could be erased and glossy if the caramel was poured on while warm. The MnMs may have been baked as well which would give them their candied coating a bleached/lumpy appearance. Idk anymore! Nothing is real.

[-]

ryandiggy@reddit (OP)

They’re Smarties, not M&M’s. It’s not AI. I don’t know how it was prepared, but it was in the fridge for a while.

[-]

Anybuddyelse@reddit

Ohhh that makes sense. I honestly was just reeling about how even just the suggestion that something was AI that I honestly didn’t think was(!) still made me start looking at it funny and being like “do I understand perspective? Do i know how light behaves on certain substances?” 😖

[-]

TTV_SgtScoots@reddit

Notice how the gloss reflections are angled with the numbers? Same with the reflections on the candies, one piece will have light reflected on top while the piece below it has a reflection coming from the right

[-]

Anybuddyelse@reddit

No that’s exactly what I’m saying it’s totally uncanny valley bullshit but some other details made me question the more important incorrect ones like that

[-]

no_gender_stoner@reddit

oh my god you are right i think. its a little horrifying to me that its at the point where i can't tell it is ai.

[-]

misterbippy@reddit

Maybe the implies that after he eats the cake he won’t be making it all the way to 57. Like, instead of a birthday cake it’s a hard stop cake.

Chimes320@reddit

As a non consensual gluten free person I feel this. I always let my team, admins, coworkers know I has a gluten allergy and when some kind of forced merriment comes around I just remind everyone involved in the food ordering just in case but always with the headline “I will go get my own lunch, I just need to know precisely what time the merriment begins so I can plan ahead”.

Having definitely experienced the birthday cake that is unsafe for me to eat there is nothing like just standing there with a 😐 while everyone eats and asks “how come you aren’t eating your cake?”

“Well Bob, it would cause a myriad of allergic reactions which I’m happy to describe. But it’s okay, oversights happen, I’m happy to stand here and watch everyone eat cake, maybe you’ll remember this discomfort for next time”

Automatic_Bus_7634@reddit

My coworkers bring a tres leches cake for everyone's birthday, always tres leches, every year, including for my lactose intolerant ass's birthday. I guess it's the thought that counts but bringing something you know a person can't eat isn't much of a thought

This isn’t AI but it’s a very Canadian cake lol.

Thank you. I feel like every Canadian can immediately recognize the leftover Halloween candy used as decoration on this thing. But to each their own, I guess.

scumsynthesizer@reddit

Are y'all aware that M&Ms are not the only round chocolate candy to ever exist in human history?

[-]

ryandiggy@reddit (OP)

The “mirror glaze” people are arguing about is really just Smucker’s chocolate and caramel syrup haphazardly drizzled over the whole thing. It was not intentional whatsoever. But I’m glad this piece of shit cake apparently has some advanced techniques to it.

[-]

loliwarmech@reddit

See this is how I know it's not AI, because only a human could make something so shitty it circles back around to being lowkey genius again.

Sea_Pomegranate8229@reddit

To be fair, if they eat that they are NOT turning 57.

Oh MAN that's rough. That really sucks and being unhappy is definitely the normal way to feel about this but ngl. Lowkey if I was that guy and I knew it was a mistake (+ he can't have a reaction by being near) I'd be kinda delighted to recieve that, solely because it'd be one of the funniest gifts I've ever recieved. This is like the level of fucking up where it's kinda impressive. The person clearly tried, they just.. tried wrong

Sometimes it’s worth letting a store do the baking.

[-]

UnNumbFool@reddit

Yeah I just had something similar happen. It's currently passover, I'm observant, and some friends decided to get me a cake for my birthday(can't eat leavened products, and a bunch of other stuff)

I told them to eat it without me, and I'll have my slice(s) when the holiday is over. I still have it even though I know it's not going to last until Thursday night, but it's the thought that counts so I'll at least have a few bites of stale birthday cake
