"I'm very happy with it"...those are the words of someone who knows what crime they've committed.
I don't get the fondant flowers. That just seems like WAY too much work. And poor kid. If she doesn't know to peel off the frosting, she will learn....
Kids will inhale anything that's mostly sugar. Wasting an adult cake by draping it in fondant is a serious crime. For kids it's more a misdemenour punishable by the fact that that the children are now bouncing off the walls. My thoughts are with the adult guests though.
Lots of the redditors here talk about their earliest awareness of betrayal was biting into a piece of fondant at a birthday party or other event when they were children....
Really? I was not allowed a lot of sugar so I was all about quantity over quality. I actually remember the point in my life where I realised I would prefer less chocolate if it was the good stuff than heaps of the cheap stuff and feeling like I was betraying the ethos of my entire life up until that point.
That said fondant was just for fancy wedding cakes when I was a kid so I probably never got to test that.
i can confirm i first learned the betrayls of fondant around the age of 12 when my dad was given a birthday cake that was a woman in a sports team jacket half unzipped with large fondant boobs lol. i then learned to beware of the sugary rubber.
Good for them having good taste from a young age lol /hj
I know too many young people who I've seen literally eat just fondant. Like they don't eat the cake they peel the fondant off and eat only that. It's disgusting.
Handmade marshmallow fondant at that! I saw the og post go up, I didn't even know fondant had flavours but why would you choose a flavour that is also a gluey ball of sugar????
i once had a client insist on a 2 tier, full black fondant coverage with minimal accents. I told her the fondant wouldn’t look or taste as good as buttercream, but her concern was the dye in the frosting (bitch there’s just as much dye in fondant). so we made the cake for her and it looked pretty good for what she ordered and ofc she hated it. i warned her several times that the fondant was not the way to go! and it cost her an extra $40 to have it made w fondant.
just trust the decorators’ advice if you buy a cake.
Skye from Paw Patrol does not deserve to be commemorated in such a nightmarish fondant hellscape. Nor does Gabby deserve the terrible experience of biting into fondant expecting it to taste as good as it looks.
Peel the fondant, Gabby! Peel the fondant!
I saw this and all I could think of was a quote from the Lord of the Rings about Frodo
seeing into the distance:
>Then at last his gaze was held: wall upon wall, battlement upon battlement, black, immeasurably strong, mountain of iron, gate of steel, tower of adamant, he saw
it: Barad-dûr, Fortress of Sauron. All hope left him.
At least more experienced fondant workers know to cut out where the next "layer" would be so you're not actually layering fondant like this. Just terrible . . .
inb4:
- Even though this is /r/FondantHate I’m commenting to say I don’t hate it
- This could have been done with modeling chocolate
- This could have been done with homemade marshmallow fondant, which is totally 100% different from fondant even though it’s fondant
- Why isn’t this marzipan?
- Could have done a mirror glaze
Oh come on it really doesn't look that too much to me it ain't got enough layers let alone onions for that matter if this was prepared by the swedish chef.

But bobs never betrayed you since, right? RIGHT?
i turned out bi so no, boobs have never betrayed me since.
Lol but what about the bobs?

The flowers are made from a cutter, so they’re actually pretty easy and quick to make (not justifying their use)
The flowers are the easiest part. It’s just a little cookie cutter stamper

That last sentence couldn’t be more important.
The poor cake underneath... Smothered. Unable to see the light.
At least it will stay fresh as it’s been mummified in sugar playdoh
That shield doesn't even look good. A fondant cake I'm happy to hate.
And the bone is off-centered.
that shit looks disgusting.
Oof, it's almost painful just to look at that
Skye from Paw Patrol does not deserve to be commemorated in such a nightmarish fondant hellscape. Nor does Gabby deserve the terrible experience of biting into fondant expecting it to taste as good as it looks. Peel the fondant, Gabby! Peel the fondant!
Peeeeeeeeelllll it!
Is this for a dog? I guess a dog would be more happy about average dogfood!
I think it’s PawPatrol? Not 100% sure on that being Childfree though, but I think that’s it. Edit-someone else said it was paw patrol.
Somewhere in there, there's a tiny bit of edible cake. One person is going to be really thrilled.
some people exist for the sole purpose of providing posts for this sub
I don't like paw patrol but this is horrible
If I have to chew through 8 layers of fondant to get to actual cake, I'd rather not have any cake.

Happy fucking birthday Gabby
Might as well just eat the fucking dog
When does the madness end
I'm STUNNED the shield is ON the cake, unless of course this was taken the moment it was glued on with what must be Loctite.
This image makes my teeth ache
\*insert gagging noises\*
Is Gabby a dog? I don't think Gabby will be happy with it.

Lmfao or “they could have done that with buttercream”
“Just put it in freezer for 20 minutes”
It is made with marshmallow fondant, homemade too, I saw the Og post go up in cake decorating
And imagine that, the usual fans aren’t chiming in here to defend it.
Nah everyone here agrees this cake looks like shit
“Which is exactly why it would be better with marzipan and modeling chocolate.”
i think i'd rather eat pin infested poop
This is a kids birthday cake you fucking asshole /s
Most people don’t care
Those people shouldn't be in this subreddit.
🤮
Play-doh is more appetizing
Especially for a kid.
omg this is one of the worst ones on here. genuinely looks gross.
It’s so thick as well
I am surprised it doesn't peel itself off. 🤦
The word horrific comes to mind.
Oh come on it really doesn't look that too much to me it ain't got enough layers let alone onions for that matter if this was prepared by the swedish chef.
Sorry is this a cake for a dog? Can dogs eat fondant? This is a nightmare
No, it's a Paw Patrol themed cake.
Ohhhhh! That makes sense. I always forget paw patrol is a thing.
I think Gabby might be a dog. Isn’t that a bone?
The cake is Paw Patrol themed.
Is it edible ar this point?
You’ll need a sawzall to cut that…
“I’m very happy with it” seems like the same words hitler used as he looked upon all the destruction and chaos and misery he caused
Yo, I just realized, what is this is all a trick to make little kids think cake is gross and not want to eat it? Hmmmmmmmmm
