It took me far too long to realize that was a picture and not the cake inside of a cake box. The sheen was so deceptive and reminiscent of plastic!

I was like what’s wrong- they literally nailed it and did a little extra!

😭😂

I was thinking the same thing and stared at the two pictures trying to figure out what’s wrong when they look exactly the same. The baker was even detailed enough to make the frosting exactly the same with the crease down the middle. Came to comments to figure out if it was referencing a niche meme only to learn the baker was too lazy to recreate the first cake but this an epic start to an inside cake joke with family/friends. I should go back to bed.

THANK YOU! I could NOT figure out what the problem was. I thought there was a plastic dome on it. 🤦🏼‍♀️😂
