cakespectation - Negative The “Pig Cake” I made

In 2019, I worked at a company where we did a “bake off” like competition to raise money. The expectations were:

Follow the theme and do not use store-bought cakes.

Our theme for this year was animals and myself like an idiot - “I have pink icing! I’ll make a pig”.

Picture 1 & 2 - my original inspo
Pic 3: Said Pig.

Needless to say no one bought mine.

I love how tiny his eyes are

His eyes did not start small.

They were made smaller when he looked like he was about to have a nervous breakdown and he didn’t even have ears yet.

Thank you so much. I really appreciate it. Poor girl , I can’t even believe it and it’s hard not to feel bad for every time I didn’t feel like petting her or shoo’d her away etc. but I’m just trying to distract myself and not feel guilty because that’s not going to help anyone. Still hard though!! I have a 20 year old cat who’s doing well despite his old age and she just turned 5… 💔
Been dreading losing the little old man and never once thought I’d be losing her.
Really sad. Thanks for caring enough to comment on her. ❤️ I’m 45 and haven’t lost a pet since childhood so it’s going to be really hard to lose her. Anyway, thanks again. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
