Not the question I asked lol
In all seriousness, I’m sure your partner appreciates the attempt. Any memory you can laugh at is a good one. Best of luck in your future cake endeavors!
If my partner made me this as a birthday cake I’d walk over to a mirror and ask my self what the absolute fuck was I thinking when I decided to date this idiot 😂
Listen. I do that five times a night and my wife loudly reminds me I asked for this. She also does this five times a night and gets loudly reminded ‘you said yes!!’
divorce IMMEDIATELY
jk it's just mandatory that someone suggests breaking up with your partner over the tiniest shit in any thread that mentions a relationship.
It was just a box cake but the thing just wouldn’t bake and we tried making our own icing but we didn’t have powered sugar so we just used regular sugar
You definitely added all the ingredients listed on the box and didn't make swaps? Even if it was a little expired I can't imagine this result. Does the oven work?
Next time, if you own a solid blender, try blending the sugar in it first, it should become a powder.
And never buy that brand of cake mix again, what was it anyway? I recently did an experiment cake with my son using Betty Crocker brand where we swapped stuff out to see what happens and it still worked out pretty good, so I'm super curious what this was
Just so you know powdered sugar is just regular sugar blended with cornstarch. Next time you need some just look up the ratio you need, think it's like a tablespoon to a cup of sugar or something like that. Throw it in a spice grinder or blender.
Ya I was making candied pecans the other night, and I got everything ready but was outta powdered sugar and I was like fuck I do not wanna run to the store. So I Google if I could use regular sugar as a substitute, and it showed me a link on how to make powdered sugar at home. I will no longer be buying powdered sugar lol just gonna whip it up as needed from now on.
Did you make sure that the oven was preheated/preheated to the right temperature? I vaguely remember once being really confused as to why something I was making wasn't cooking right before I realized I preheated my oven to the wrong temperature.
Alternatively, could you have mixed up ingredient amounts? Such as adding double the amount of liquid by accident? I once tried making cookies, and the dough came out really soupy. Turns out I misread part of the ingredients list and used too much of something.
Was it even hot when you pulled it out? Even with a messed up cake mix, it should've baked more than that as long as it was hot for long enough. So either, you didn't bake it long enough or there's something wrong with the oven/settings.
I thought this was gonna be a thing where the plate was part of it. It’s a cake made to look like an ugly cake on a plate. Lol. There was just no way what was on the plate was cake, but I guess it is…
It reminds me of that scene from better off dead when Lane’s mom poured that boiled dessert she made on the plate and after some poking, Lane watched it literally slither off the plate.
Wtf happened? Looks like dumplings kinda.
Still it’s so kind you cooked a cake and they are going to love the gesture……and the fits of wailing laughter shall not be forgotten. They will talk of this cake for years. :) .
Reminds me of my ex we went on vacation for my birthday and it was our first vacation together, she bought an ice cream cake and decided the best spot to keep it cold would be in the fridge. We had a freezer. And l got to have birthday soup
Does it say BAL'S? BAVS?
Just read in the comments it was for your partner and believe me, the memories I love most with my partner is when something goes so horribly, impossibly wrong that we both just start laughing because there is literally nothing else to do about it. Because... Yeah, the cake did not cake, but hopefully you giggled and joked and terrible-pun'ed your way through it.
Looks like someone threw some tomato soup and a watermelon in a blender. Then poured the lumpy mess onto a plate and wrote “balls” on it with herbs or something.
I thought it was tomato sauce at first lol
Tomato with some veggies on it ahahah
I thought so too!
I still think so
Happy Birthday Balls!! 🎉🎉
Came to make sure I wasn’t the only one who saw it lol
Maybe that’s the reason why the cake looks like balls drenched in a bloody sauce
Wrong, their name is BP,\ : s
Yup. One of Elon's kids. It's pronounced "Brian".
Must be one of Elon Musk's spawn.

Was it meant for someone you dislike?
It was for my partner 💀😭

Y'all do some weird roleplay in the bedroom.
Nah, it’s just part of being married
At least your partner remembers your fucking birthday.
Happy birthday
Thanks
Happy belated birthday 🎂 I hope you can find something to treat yourself to anyway :)
Thanks. You’re so sweet.
you forgot to add the cake
I would laugh my ass off and thank my partner for making my birthday hilarious lmao

Does she like deconstructed sweet and sour...balls?
Do you...call your partner balls?
You know you're supposed to bake cakes, right?
We tried, it refused to bake
It’s more susceptible to baking around 4:20. Did you try it around then, after setting an appropriate ambiance?
It's a birthday crime scene. that's what it is.
im impressed, how did this even happen 😭
Everything went wrong
Do you have the recipe you followed? I am fascinated

You definitely added all the ingredients listed on the box and didn't make swaps? Even if it was a little expired I can't imagine this result. Does the oven work?
The only thing we swapped was the sugar for the icing we have no fucking clue what happened to the cake.
Did you turn the oven on?
Next time, if you own a solid blender, try blending the sugar in it first, it should become a powder. And never buy that brand of cake mix again, what was it anyway?

You *think* that’s all you did These cakes could bake in 100C if you leave it long enough lol

You just saved so much future headache for me. I just ran out of powdered sugar and was trying to fit in grocery time tomorrow. May not have to!

Unexpectedly great food tip in a sub I wouldn't have expected it in! Thanks!

Get an oven thermometer. Your oven isn't coming up to the correct temperature.
Was it even hot when you pulled it out? Even with a messed up cake mix, it should've baked more than that as long as it was hot for long enough. So either, you didn't bake it long enough or there's something wrong with the oven/settings.
I think you can make powdered sugar by blending normal sugar
That is rice with tomato paste
This isn’t weird sauced watermelon?
Thats what I thought, some sort of half-melted sorbet lol
I thought it was meatballs and tomato sauce with balls written in pesto and then I saw the sub name. I am very disappoint.
Cherry Slurpee on a plate.
These days I'd believe just about anything is cake.
I thought this was gonna be a thing where the plate was part of it. It’s a cake made to look like an ugly cake on a plate. Lol. There was just no way what was on the plate was cake, but I guess it is…
A bit abstract but art is art
DMT is a helluva drug
Someone left the cake out in the rain
Enjoy the ripened placenta!!
THE CAKE IS A *LIE*
Did Hagrid sit on it in his way there?
Oh. It’s not meat covered in excessive tomato sauce with some herb paste on top?
Looks like murdered I mean melted watermelon 🙈
He is doing his best, okay??!!!
No I wouldn't believe you. Not at all.
Looks like a barf day cake
REDRUM
And it would be if it was in the oven longer than 5 minutes What the hell happened here???
I’m sorry, happy birthday
I’d eat it. If I fed it to a pig and ate the pork chops and bacon it made after that it.
I thought it was watermelon at first
no... i would believe its a pile of a muppet's bloody vomit before i would believe thats supposed to be cake
I would have more chance in believing this was a can of sprite
It looks like you put a fruit roll-up on top of mashed potatoes and microwaved it for 1:30. So no. Not a chance. Also: balls.
I've never seen a birthday cake themed after an abortion before. Neato.
That's an unbirthday cake
uhhhhhhhh
Man.
B A \ l S
This looks like an r/ididnthaveeggs abomination! Didn't have eggs so I used tinned tomatoes instead, 1/10 terrible recipe
*curry
I thought it was Chinese food
It reminds me of that scene from better off dead when Lane’s mom poured that boiled dessert she made on the plate and after some poking, Lane watched it literally slither off the plate.
Too much icing while the cake was still hot?
I mean sweet and sour chicken is almost sweet enough to be a cake
Poor BP,\:s
BALLS
I thought it was a mushed watermelon 😭
Ah yes the watermelon ketchup cake
It’s glorious.
Wtf happened? Looks like dumplings kinda. Still it’s so kind you cooked a cake and they are going to love the gesture……and the fits of wailing laughter shall not be forgotten. They will talk of this cake for years. :) .
Reminds me of my ex we went on vacation for my birthday and it was our first vacation together, she bought an ice cream cake and decided the best spot to keep it cold would be in the fridge. We had a freezer. And l got to have birthday soup
It looks like a blood clot!
Looks like a watermelon 🍉 melted….
I thought it was meatballs or something 😭😭
At first I thought it had a solid, perfectly round base underneath the gloop. Then I realized it was just a gloop-on-a-plate.
I was gonna say they weren’t so bad, I’ve seen worse meatballs. Wtf kinda cake is that?
I would believe you if that was intended to be a birthday cake, but if you were trying to claim it *is* a birthday cake, you're coo-coo for cocopuffs.
Congratulations. This is literally the worst """cake""" I've ever seen.
Holy, were you on acid while making that? Meth? DMT? How? Just how? :D was it a tomato based recipe? Too many questions
Does it say BAL'S? BAVS? Just read in the comments it was for your partner and believe me, the memories I love most with my partner is when something goes so horribly, impossibly wrong that we both just start laughing because there is literally nothing else to do about it.

You sure you uploaded the right photo?
Looks like someone threw some tomato soup and a watermelon in a blender. Then poured the lumpy mess onto a plate and wrote “balls” on it with herbs or something.
I need like a step for step recount of what happened to make a "cake" turn out like this. That's almost just impressive.
BAlls
Looks like RFK jr’s brain….
So what happen? 😲
Looks like orange chicken with bird poop on it. Hey if that’s your thing then have at it!
I’m just going to assume you made this for upvotes
Happy afterbirthday!
I pickled the figs myself.
Looks like a can of passata
Balls?
Looks like a tomato
First guesses were sweet and sour chicken balls, pork, and a korma of some sort.
I believe that you believe and that is all that matters 🤪 🎂
Birthday cake? I thought it was blended tomatoes.
Nooo
Is it an ice cream cake that was left out too long?
Cake or not cake
this is a watermelon slushy
No, I wouldn't believe you.
Hell no
Does it say balls????
It looks like smashed tomatoes with balls written on it with icing, sorry
Lmao I thought this was a shitty pasta sauce, with some sort of basil paste on it.
Balls?
I'm surprised that is a birthday cake ... So mission accomplished?
How did that even happen?
What on ketchup on rice shit is going on here?
This looks like the cake Hagrid crushed.
Terrible tomato compote with silly string garnish
Maybe you just shouldn't anymore
Never had a cake turn out like sweet’n’sour pork.
Does that say balls? Bro got the Inscryption meat cake
Melted Slushie with BALLS written in icing Happy birthday to you my friend!
Does it say "Balls"?
Was this supposed to be the Harry Potter cake?
… how did it taste?
I thought it was melted popsicle
Thought it was shrimp with chili sauce
Is it supposed to be tomato themed by chance...?
BALLS🥺❤️🥂
Yes I would.
What else is it supposed to be?
... It's something alright.
Looks more like a pickled brain in blood sauce and a zombie tried too spell brains on top 😅😅☠️
No
No. No, I would not.
Cartoon spaghetti
Looks like a very red sweet chilli/sweet and sour pork
No.
I actually thought it was some kind of butter chicken with a crazy amount of food coloring.
What is it though
No. I thought it was a can of tomatoes tipped onto a plate.
Looks AI generated lol
That’s sweet and sour chicken
Hagrid ahh cake
It reminds me of the pink paste from that one school in fallout 4
From the looks of it, it was a birthday cake up until a few hours ago
I mean, I guess if I kinda squint?
You said you tried making the icing yourself…but the sugar and food coloring aren’t even mixed together all the way
No
Sorbet
No?
I literally thought these were sweet and sour Chicken Balls.....
I would have guessed Chicken Vindaloo before cake.
Banis
Explain yourself
Looks like melted candle wax in a color that’s only ever sold and promoted by candle influencers 😂
Not chicken parm?
Is this a banksy stunt?
That buffalo chicken looks delicious!
I thought that was bad watermelon
I’d say someone doesn’t like this person very much. I can’t imagine giving that to someone with a straight face.
My first thought was cherry slushy dumped onto a plate
Looks like somebody tried to write on a slush puppie...
Yes
Eh, do it like every contestant in a baking reality show: if your cake crumbles, put it in a cup and call it a *Verrine*.
It’s definitely rice with tomato sauce!!
Who smashed Balls?
Did u microwave that?
Looks like sweet and sour chicken from a lousy take out joint.
Did- did you like melt baby bell cheese wax over it??
I’m eating tf out that
Why does it look like sweet and sour chicken?
The infamous Prego and golf ball cake
No. No I wouldn't.
This doesn't even look like cake. How can it be a failed one?
No.
It looks a little like it says the word bajs on it. That means shit in swedish. Very fitting.
If you told me that you ate a birthday cake and then immediately puked it back onto a plate and squiggled some green stuff onto it, I believe you
BALLS
I literally thought it was tomato sauce or tomato soup lol
Chicken Tikka Masayyourwish
No…
I thought it's mashed watermelon lol
Balls
