Homemade cake with coconut, Halloween KitKat pieces, smarties, and caramel and chocolate drizzle
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”
fluffyscone@reddit
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
CompetitionOdd1746@reddit
I had that experience with freshly cooked donuts that I ate in a theme park after going on the rides. Couldn't eat a donut or bear the smell of them for about 10 years.
auditoryeden@reddit
Or even just, "I had some when I wasn't feeling well and now it's kind ruined it. Oh well, I still really like [Pumpkin Pie] cheesecake!" or whatever. It's so easy to accidentally develop an aversion for reasons outside of your control.
seitancheeto@reddit
I call those Playdoh cookies bc that’s what they taste like to me…..

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.

Scrabulon@reddit
Look at the flavors Cheesecake Factory has on their menu and come to understand the possibilities
roxictoxy@reddit
Well cream cheese for a cheesecake shouldn’t be cold so
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
Square-Manner739@reddit
When I turned 21 my friend asked me what kind of cake I wanted. I said “anything but red velvet”. She brought red velvet cake. I was surprised until I saw the half price sticker on the packaging.
Abiztic2_0@reddit
This happened once when a friend ordered a sandwich and said, "I want all vegetables, but jalapeño and banana pepper." And they got a jalapeño and banana pepper sandwich.
AltruisticSalamander@reddit
They probably say 'could care less' and applied the same baffling logic
Kaurifish@reddit
People are very apt to misconstrue negatives as positives when it’s the only info provided.
As we say on the river, point positive (ex. when someone has fallen put of the boat, only point in the direction they should swim, never toward hazards).
laurensundercover@reddit
Noted, when someone falls in the river always point towards hazards
LauraPa1mer@reddit
Oh that's good. I'm going to write that down. Can't promise it won't get lost in the mix, but at least for these seconds, I am with you on this.
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:
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 always always always just say "allergic to (thing), so please make sure there is no (thing)" as clearly as possible, no way I'm risking a miscommunication
CarpetBudget@reddit
I was gonna say..like dude, for one, that’s illegal

kmvalencia@reddit
That’s what I was thinking! I think they drizzled caramel on the candy numbers? It’s just a mess all around
Maximum-Worth@reddit
It's also very AI looking
ryandiggy@reddit (OP)
Care to explain? It’s not AI.
Maximum-Worth@reddit
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.
I suppose if I phrased this as "I can't tell if this is AI" random commenters would be less angry with me.
imacuntsag420@reddit
Wait are those tim tams on top 🤤
Turquoise_dinosaur@reddit
They look like kitkats to me
imacuntsag420@reddit
Yeah i saw the K 😔 I like kit kats too but tim tams are just a diff breed
vectorology@reddit
I’m all for calling out AI slop as needed, but calling this AI is an insult to AI.
snorkelvretervreter@reddit
Randomly discrediting things as AI without any details is exactly and ironically something karma-farming AI bots are picking up on.
Maximum-Worth@reddit
I was wrong, but it's still a very uncanny valley looking photo to me. I don't see how saying so means I'm discrediting anything? I didn't say anything definitive or dismiss it as slop.
DiamondTippedDriller@reddit
Those strange M&M things are floating on top. The caramel is too shiny and the swirling is unrealistic.
DragonScrivner@reddit
Eh, the smears on the sides of the cake pan and irregular coconut flake shapes make it less so for me

As someone who is allergic to coconut I take great offense to this
FelatiaFantastique@reddit
Is it a work crew in the jail?
Consistent-Menu-6629@reddit
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.
Consistent-Menu-6629@reddit
That is a nightmare allergy experience 😅
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.
kurly-bird@reddit
Luckily I don't care for chocolate, but soy lecithin is in pretty much every chocolate brand
Consistent-Menu-6629@reddit
Oh I'm sure that's a really annoying allergy to have!

IS IT CAKE??? IS IT… AI CAKE???
finsfurandfeathers@reddit
My first thought was AI. It’s something about the weird glossy look of the candies in top, they look really fake. But then if you look at the edges and the rest of the details you can tell it’s real, just weird looking.
TheNinjaNarwhal@reddit
Oh it's very weird looking, for sure. But it's too weird to be AI (the usual "perfect" desserts and cakes) and not bad enough to be extremely bad AI haha

aquamari33@reddit
This is AI, that ‘cake is about 3cm tall and has a rim at the top as if the pan was filled with cake at some point. Also the bars on top are a very weird texture, and partially melted, also this shit is ugly but why would anyone choose large rainbow candies for this
aquamari33@reddit
Two Ai checkers said over 90% chance it’s AI, I’ve never used one so idk if they’re usually right but oh well
Turquoise_dinosaur@reddit
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.
loliwarmech@reddit
Please look up mirror glaze.
bimboozled@reddit
Also coconut is a crazy flavor to pick for a work setting assuming you don’t know everyone’s flavor preferences. It’s gotta be one of the riskiest flavors, not a ton of people love coconut compared to say chocolate or vanilla or something haha
Same-Suggestion-1936@reddit
It's like ordering pineapple on pizza. You might like it, but not everyone does. That's why when in doubt you usually just go cheese and pepperoni
mahboilucas@reddit
When in doubt don't pick a meat pizza please
Same-Suggestion-1936@reddit
Yeah that's why I said get some cheese, nobody is mad about cheese if it's good pizza. If there's any vegans or gluten non-havers a good pizza place should have you covered, but if they don't that is just a dietary restriction I'm gonna accommodate
mahboilucas@reddit
Ooooh cheese AND pepperoni. I like
Furthur_slimeking@reddit
People can be seriously allergic to cocont or pineapple. Unless they have a very rare tick bonre disease, nobody is allergic to meat.
Middle_Promise@reddit
Meat, pork and fish makes me physically ill and cause hives/rashes if I eat it. It’s not common, but it is a thing
mahboilucas@reddit
Some people simply don't eat meat. Common courtesy to not leave them without anything. Plenty of vegetarians around you see.
R4B1DRABB1T@reddit
What about those of us who won't eat plain cheese pizza, should you forget about us too?
mahboilucas@reddit
You can always tell your company that when they order pizza in bulk. My friend made an inquiry about a mushroom free pizza and there was one
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.
ModishShrink@reddit
Just order a bunch of cheese pizzas and a couple pepperoni. It's an office lunch break, not your wedding day.
mahboilucas@reddit
that is my point. No need to be like this with your last comment. Not sure why you assumed it was necessary to add? I just wanted to say meat pizzas aren't necessarily the default ones either
cardueline@reddit
Yeah, i fucking love coconut and love baking but rarely make coconut stuff because it’s so divisive. I pity the coconut misser-outters 😔

According to ops comment apparently the birthday boy asked for "anything but coconut" and somehow that turned into "coconut" after some miscommunication between people
Swollen_Beef@reddit
The classic game of "telephone." In 6th grade our teacher had us play to show the importance of clear communication. The original message was I have a red fishing boat after 23 kids the message morphed into put the freezer on the television. That was my first time witnessing a soul leave the body of a human adult.
ModishShrink@reddit
The second time I saw the soul leave the body of a human adult was when I unknowingly referred to it by its' English name to an American. That did not go over well.
WhatADoofus@reddit
I think I know what name you're talking about, I never heard the other name until far into adulthood. I always knew it as "Telephone"

We played that game as well in elementary school. It’s true that the message quickly change but some kids deliberately changed it as well for “fun” sometimes

The patterned swirls on the perfectly glossy chocolate with no signs of melt into the surrounding cake. The precisely patterned colored dots which are vaguely unfamiliar of any candy anyone has ever consumed, in such a perfectly random color pattern. The excellent chocolate drizzle between the perfectly untoasted coconut that's been in the oven for 22-26 minutes and has tendency to toast or burn in an oven. I have 5 more, shall I go on?

At no point was this cake ever in an oven. It wasn’t baked at all. The candies are Smarties. Look them up and you’ll see the come in those exact colours. I don’t know what else to tell you.

The “vaguely unfamiliar candy” are smarties - coated chocolate drops similar to M&Ms, commonly found in the UK and a few other countries. We know smarties are something different in the US, and we also don’t care.

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

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

People will just say shit these days
ElkSad9855@reddit
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
How can you tell?
Extreme-Edge6040@reddit
How can you not?
_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.
Valuable-Volume6382@reddit
🤣😂😂😁
freakmeout123@reddit
cutieee cakeeeee
Next-Drink8593@reddit
It’s the thought that counts
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”
Witty_Ad_9300@reddit
I mean no disrespect but that looks like a litter box cake
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
Mammoth_Spend_5590@reddit
AISlop
Keyblade_wielder141@reddit
Do they hate this person?
jazzbot247@reddit
Well its the thought that counts I guess. 🤣
becauseinsomnia@reddit
I thought this was on purpose for a coworker you hate
LoserxBaby@reddit
Told everyone I was turning 39. Cake said 39. My friend took out a calculator after we cut the cake to inform me I was turning 38.
SaltyGabagool@reddit
Maybe this cake was for a person who loved coconut, turning 56
dedXlights@reddit
This isn’t AI but it’s a very Canadian cake lol.
ryandiggy@reddit (OP)
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.
AppUnwrapper1@reddit
Halloween was 5 mos ago!
Ayyrabguwop@reddit
For some reason this gives AI
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.
Top-Address-2418@reddit
Maybe the coworker is a jerk & this is a passive aggressive cake
External-Upstairs666@reddit
Are you the Mother in Law? 😂
Tight-Platypus5231@reddit
That's a "CAKE"? Looks like something my cat would leave me after they got into the garbage...
samuelram97@reddit
This made me laugh
scumsynthesizer@reddit
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
sik_cvnt@reddit
Bravo!
goos_@reddit
Guess it’s the thought that counts…. or doesn’t…
whateveratthispoint_@reddit
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
yungcheeselet@reddit
You can freeze it and it’ll stay good!
OpeningActivity@reddit
I wonder whether this is a thinly shitty food-veiled threat, if you eat this, you won't turn 57, kinda way.
jsamuraij@reddit

wivsta@reddit
It’s the thought that counts
Flaky-Collection-353@reddit
It's more of a "forever 56" than a "turning 57" situation.
a4techkeyboard@reddit
If the person that made it gave it the day before the birthday, that'd sent quite a message.
Horror_Bear_6325@reddit
nailed it
JustHereToLurk2001@reddit
What an absolute disaster. Reminds me of when Cake Wrecks was a thing.
Next-Law2029@reddit
thanks for the idea. theres this coworker i hate. I was debating what to do but poisoning him sounds great
DiamondTippedDriller@reddit
This is an AI image, zoom in, people 😑
ryandiggy@reddit (OP)
It’s not AI. Zoom in on what? It’s a real picture taken with my phone’s wide angle camera. I’m not sure why people are saying this.
Extreme-Edge6040@reddit
Stop.
It's so AI, and not even good. Ugh the number of people who fall for AI while it still makes garbage. Our world is doomed once we can't tell anymore.
IcyPossibility925@reddit
It’s the chocolate/ caramel swirl. It reads as kind of “impossible” like those mirror glaze cakes. People see AI in everything.
redthehaze@reddit
If they eat it before they turn 57, it could be accurate.
FickleMushroom6138@reddit

SaintsNoah14@reddit
It's probably delicious but this isn't the work of someone who needs to be volunteering to make other people birthday cakes
Anybuddyelse@reddit
Noooo! I honestly think it’s really cute and yummy looking for a coworker to make for someone that isn’t allergic to coconut 😅
Spiritual-Rip-6248@reddit
Nailed it!
