A customer’s order for a Shrek-inspired cake, in all its animated grandeur, produced laughter rather than gasps, in a lovely twist of cake-decorating fate. On pickup day, the pro cake that was anticipated had all the swagger and squint of our favorite grumpy fairytale character, but it was softer and cuddlier, like if it were just searching for a friend.

Yes, the green was perfect, but the angry ogre frown had turned into a more subdued stare. It serves as a humorous reminder that occasionally, a cake you order may have different ideas about how to bring a character to life, leading to a delightful surprise that is more “aww” than “roar.”
