What Happened: An overly-ambitious attempt to copy a dragon cake
The cake at the top is incredible, and you can tell that someone really talented made it. The dragon looks very detailed, as does the story book atop which it sits. We’d estimate the cake up top cost at least $100 or $200.
The Picture Vs. The Reality
The cake at the bottom, well…this copycat attempt did not go quite so well, but, hopefully, the person who made it had fun doing so. It was a valiant attempt, even if it looks like a vaguely-animal-shaped lump of ground, raw beef.
