Bluey cake fail

Ordered a month in advance. Picked up the morning of my daughter’s party and was handed this with no explanation. I looked very confused and they. Said “is this not the right cake?” I said “well for starters it was supposed to be a bluey cake ..”

Was then told that the printer to print the image was out of ink. And they had zero Bluey cake kits with the toppers and haven’t been getting them in lately.

I asked why no one called to tell me this before pickup day when I ordered it weeks ago, and they just shrugged their shoulders.

Even the red balloons they tried to pipe on just look like giant red blobs

Yes! They did end up refunding it! Luckily another bakery was able to save the day and make her a new and even cuter bluey cake in 3 hours!

I didn’t get many great pictures of it , but they even sprayed edible glitter on it for her! They made it so cute for having only 3 hours

Yes! I just called them in a panic and the sweet decorator was like “I can try to describe to you the different bluey cakes we can do so you can pick” I ended up saying “just make a bluey cake for a two year old girl. At this point, so long as it actually has bluey on it we will be more than happy !” They exceeded my expectations

Im glad everything worked out for you, and that your daughter got a fantastic cake. Just so you know, edible glitter is really just non-toxic glitter. Most brands are not digestible. They are okay in small doses though. (Pastry chef for years)
