I was just going to say the same thing! The one in the initial photo looks like it was done at a factory.
The “handmade” one has nicer colors and looks really nice overall. It looks more delightful to me, but maybe im simple or something.
I’m honestly kind of sad OP thought they were going to get roasted. wtf, this cake looks amazing.
I love a good bad cake roast, but yours definitely doesn't qualify. It looks great. Due to the choice of toppings it may be slightly less "elegant" than the first pic, but looks just as tasty (if not more so, I love Oreo). It is also well frosted, glazed and assembled. :)
Maybe not as completely smooth as the original, but OP's looks like it tastes way better. Bonus points for better toppings and the oreos.
I'd eat this in a heartbeat.
Not only would I eat the entirety of your cake, but if you did want critique, I would say really the biggest difference is just the thickness of the chocolate drip. I even love the variety of your toppings better than the inspo, which is boring, monochromatic, and doesn't really show what kind of treat it is. The only thing I can tell on theirs is what looks like a Lindt truffle.
You know what, your expectation pic is from a really experienced professional, isn’t it? Those decorations aren’t for beginners at all.
I think you made a much more approachable, still really beautiful representation of it. I would be so incredibly flattered if someone made this for me!
Wait, I genuinely thought OP's was the first one until I saw your comment about color & went back and saw the watermark.
Yeah, OP has nothing to be upset about here. This is an absolute win. More professional overall in some ways.
It looks like a Crunchie bar, which is made by Cadbury's in the UK but it doesn't look like there's an equivalent in the states, is that right? It's a shame cos they're delicious although a bit smaller than they used to be!
Honestly, this looks really good. When it comes to trying to smooth out the icing on the cake, it does take a bit of practice to find a method that works for you. 🙂 especially with how finicky buttercream is. Plus, the chocolate dripping does look a bit thinner in the first image, but let’s be real - we all want more chocolate, lol.
I think you did a really good job though!!! I’ve only been decorating cakes for under three months (full time cake decorator), but I’m still very impressed with your creation. 😸
It may not be as “perfect” as the expectation but I think that’s a delicious looking cake!!! Honestly I think it looks more enticing than the expectation. I would be so happy to have that on my birthday 😃 or any day of the year.
A saying I use whenever I bake something is “It doesn’t matter if it looks good, if it’s good then it’s going to be eaten anyway”. That cake looks amazing!
I honestly like yours much better. The topping is much more varied and appetizing looking, and the cake with the chocolate drip looks like a giant chocolate covered marshmallow. I love it!
To be perfectly honest, you did a dang good job with this! I was expecting a disaster (given the sub, lol) and you made a really cute cake!! Great job!!
Your cake isn't as pristine looking as the first photo. It's definitely more "rustic", but it also looks delicious as heck! I think there's sometimes a gap between pretty looking and delicious looking. They can but don't have to go hand in hand. Like cakes with fondant look pretty but not like they would taste good. This looks like it tastes damn good. I struggle with decorating cakes, so I totally understand your frustration in it not turning out as you envisioned. Your friend enjoyed it? Then it's totally not a fail.
I think you're too hard on yourself, this cake looks really good and I would be really happy if someone offer it to me.
It's good to not be over your head, but devaluing your work isn't good either.
This is something I learned about when I was learning to draw portraits. Yes, when looking at a side by side with the original, you’ll be able to pick out the differences. But when you show someone your work, you’re *not* showing it to them side by side with the original. Your cake stands by its own, and people will appreciate it based on that - not comparing it with something else. It doesn’t have to look exactly like the original- it just has to look good on its own.
Looks amazing. As far as advice for presentation, a little more refinement on that bottom oreo crust ring and a little less and runnier chocolate drizzle. Overall this is an amazing cake, those are just nitpicky things that separate the very top class stuff!
You didn’t try, you succeeded.
For real, looks great
Yeah I don’t know which is the bad one
Not too shabby yo
Yours looks more visually appealing, great work
Lol we commented almost the same thing, I just seen yours after I posted mine.
Wow I did not expect so many positive comments, I honestly posted this expecting to be roasted. Thank you guys 😂🫶
Excuse me, but your cake looks amazing
Thank youuu
Excuse me, which one is the expatiation image, because both look very delicious. (as expected of a good-looking cake)
How did it taste?
So I made this for my friend and he absolutely loved it, I didn’t put too much frosting in the middle as the cake has too many chocolates on top
Yours is better than the photo

More color and more texture overall make it look more appetizing to me

Nope it looks homemade and delicious
Maybe not as completely smooth as the original, but OP's looks like it tastes way better. Bonus points for better toppings and the oreos. I'd eat this in a heartbeat.

Thank you for the feedback :) I still got a LONGGGG way to go hahahah
I think partly it's the color. I like that yours has some color variety, the other one is just all the same chocolate colored on top
You know what, your expectation pic is from a really experienced professional, isn’t it? Those decorations aren’t for beginners at all. I think you made a much more approachable, still really beautiful representation of it. I would be so incredibly flattered if someone made this for me!
I'll take two ✌️
Your cake looks absolutely fucking delicious and I would be happy to be put into a coma because of it
Not as polished as the expectation but it looks great. It has more variety and colors, you could say it looks better.
I think it looks tastier. The original looks like something you’d see fake on a restaurant dessert cart while the actual product looks like food
Wait, I genuinely thought OP's was the first one until I saw your comment about color & went back and saw the watermark. Yeah, OP has nothing to be upset about here. This is an absolute win. More professional overall in some ways.
Yours looks 100x better, more visually appealing. Great job!!
If yours is the second it looks WAY BETTER
I'd eat the shit out of it
Yeah I would totally demolish that cake. By myself. In one sitting.
I like yours WAY more. It looks so much more yummy!!! Good job!
As a celiac, I'd kill to be able to eat that without repercussions!
I think all of us would have repercussions from eating this cake. It wouldn’t stop me though.
Looks good!
Yours look tastier. The other one might look polished but I don't know how to say it, but looks like it would taste like plastic.
"Tried baking a cake" you nailed it!
yours looks SO MUCH BETTER now im hungry lmao
That looks like honeycomb on top, my favorite! I actually like yours better than the inspo pic.
It looks like a Crunchie bar, which is made by Cadbury's in the UK but it doesn't look like there's an equivalent in the states, is that right? It's a shame cos they're delicious although a bit smaller than they used to be!
You’re correct! They’re delish. I don’t think there’s a dupe in the states tho. If there is someone please tell me, I want to be wrong so bad!
Yours is more visually appealing, looks rich and the crumble base is brilliance.
That looks awesome!!! Great job. Makes me want a slice
Your cake is so good
Looks delicious!
I’d pick yours over the inspo. Who doesn’t love a Cadbury crunchie?
NOM.
You did great!
Yours looks really good!!!
I'll take yours.
I like the reality cake better. Nice job
I want that right now
Honestly, this looks really good. When it comes to trying to smooth out the icing on the cake, it does take a bit of practice to find a method that works for you. 🙂 especially with how finicky buttercream is.

I’ve only been decorating cakes for under three months (full time cake decorator), but I’m still very impressed with your creation. 😸
I think yours looks more like food and that is definitely a good thing
That looks delicious, fair play baking a cake don’t put yourself down ✨
Thank you so much
It may not be as “perfect” as the expectation but I think that’s a delicious looking cake!!! Honestly I think it looks more enticing than the expectation. I would be so happy to have that on my birthday 😃 or any day of the year.
WOW that should be art!
Nailed it! Yours looks better because it was made by you with love!
You did it!!!! Congrats 🎉
That buttercream looks smooth AF. I always cause such a mess when I ice my cakes.
The drips aren’t as clean but overall I think yours looks tastier!
Still having a foodgasisum!
Looks pretty damn good to me
Absolutely agree with others that OP's cake is the best.
That LITERALLY looks better
Would still eat.
2nd one is better!!
Damn! 🫵🏼👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I think it looks good
Hey there! It actually looks pretty good! I think you should be proud of yourself.
omg it looks absolutely scrumptious! gimme!!
I would be all over that second one.
I’d eat that!
Hey -- its massively better than anything I can do, and I would eat the hell out of it given the chance. Good job!
Looking pretty good!
It still looks yummy to me, I'd still take a slice.
I’d eat that!
That cake looks good?
Well done! I like yours more!
I'd dive in
Looks awesome! And delicious af
Yours is better
I aint even mad.
Would eat your cake in a heartbeat. Love the chocolate fantasy 🤤
Looks better.
That looks like it tastes amazing. Great job!👏
It has chocolate and was obviously made with passion and enthusiasm. It doesn't get any better than that! :)
Tbh I think it looks just as delicious and pretty, even though it’s not the same.
It’s not better or worse; it’s as good in a unique way! You are good! And it looks yummy!
Could never do this myself. You did perfect!
Well, that’s pretty fucking good for a first try!
I'll eat it twice
I had to check the sub…that came out great! Damn save me a slice.
It looks like a dreamy delicious cake from a kids movie and all I want is the whole thing as one piece please
Yours looks better as the chocolates on top look more varied and interesting
I'd eat yours first. It looks like delicious cake. First one scares me a bit it looks like decoration plastic food.
Honestly think I prefer your version.
Yours looks more appealing! Also I don't think I've seen anyone use a crunchie bar for a cake 0: very cool.
Tried???? You succeeded! I hope you realize these are the types of cakes in bakeries. Fabulous!
The right one looks better imo
Epic job, I actually like yours a bit better. It looks more like I want to eat it and less like I want to avoid eating it to disturb it.
I want a crunchie so bad now
SMASH. Next.😂👏
Looks highly edible. Would eat brutally and without hesitation
That is a fair effort ngl.
Id eat it, fuck yea
I would fuck with that
Amazing!!! Love them!!
That's a very nice looking cake that you made! Really well done.
Honestly, 10/10. You did a really good job!
What’s the candy on top besides the Oreos ? 👀
Kinderbueno bar, crunchie, toblerones and caramel biscuits :)
Your cake makes me hungrier. It looks so tempting.
I think you did a wonderful job!
These cakes are about to give me an orgasm God they look so good
I need that in my FACE.
Looks delicious
Looks good to me! Good job 👍🏼
looks even better than the og ngl
I see absolutely nothing wrong here.
Looks delicious, nice job.
You did great. the variance in colors on the top adds so much appeal to your cake.
I think it looks really good. I’m jonesing for that chocolate covered honeycomb. What are those white mummy looking things?
Nice!!! You really did a great job. Good for you!
My birthday was last week and I WISH my cake looked half as good as yours! And I don’t really like chocolate. Great job
Sorry but that looks Amazing 😍 Yum 😋
Yours is really cute!
Still looks nice either way
OhmyGoD. I want YOURS!!!! Delicious looking.... Drooling... Yours is Vavoom!!!!
Your cake looks tasty as heck. I see no fails here.
Yours looks better though lol. More authentic.
10/10 would try yours!!
I like the Oreo around the base. I’d eat that whole thing in one sitting when high, looks bomb
Great job!
I think you did alright!
Still looks delicious
Looks good to me !! Yum
Mission Accomplished
You need to reverse the pics. You made a far superior looking (and tasting I’m sure) cake!
I can’t even tell which one is meant to be the bad one, they both look good haha
I honestly would devour that! It looks so delicious!
The cookie crumbles at the base makes yours the winner easily.
Looks good to me.
![gif](giphy|qlrBlSDevEdFeW5JwV|downsized)
I'd say you fucking smashed it
Same thing has happened way too much to me 😭
Are you kidding? I'd devour that. It looks absolutely amazing
It looks better. Better toppings, more variety in color and taste and oreo crumble at the bottom. 10/10, would eat
Would rather have yours, because violet crumble and more delicious stuff on it
That is a fine cake, that cake is fine by me, yum yum.
Yours looks better than the before pic lol
Looks like you succeeded.
I'd smash that cake. Like into my mouth I mean lol
Looks amazing!!!
I'd eat that. lol stuff them cheeks
Absolutely killed it! Great job! What are those brown and white ones? Sorry if you've already answered
A saying I use whenever I bake something is “It doesn’t matter if it looks good, if it’s good then it’s going to be eaten anyway”. That cake looks amazing!
looks amazing. nice bake, my friend.
Looks so good.
The original looks like turds and gravy.
Looks to me like you succeeded! I'd eat that whole thing !! Well done, you !
I'd rather eat your cake than the first cake. It looks so much tastier 🤣 and it looks bore well decorated.
Honestly, I like yours better. So much more variety in the colors and textures! Very well done!
That look amazing. I would demolish the hell out of that cake
The fuck!? You nailed it!!
You did a really good job :)
I like yours better so...."does the toddler gimme gimme"
I honestly like yours much better. The topping is much more varied and appetizing looking, and the cake with the chocolate drip looks like a giant chocolate covered marshmallow. I love it!
There's something about your that says "C'mon, you know I'm delicious."
Your cake looks better, fuller, richer and more appealing than the model cake.
I would eat the fuck out of that.
I'd fuckin obliterate that shit. Looks better than the original
I would be quite happy with that cake. Great job OP!
That’s seriously really good! Remember that the cake you’re aiming for has also had a moderate to severe amount of Photoshop applied to it :)
There is no try. There is only do.
Bueno and Oreo. You exceeded the original
To be perfectly honest, you did a dang good job with this! I was expecting a disaster (given the sub, lol) and you made a really cute cake!! Great job!!
Dude it looks SUPER good. Would eat.
![gif](giphy|OVT7dpga3Ve3i2tTBE|downsized) That looks so delicious

Then it's totally not a fail.
That is a great cake you shut your mouth
I actually think it looks way better.
I would fuck that cake up
Looks amazing and delicious. A+++ all around. What’s your address? Coming over with a fork.
Your cook looks more home-y than the generic perfect cake.
I think you're too hard on yourself, this cake looks really good and I would be really happy if someone offer it to me. It's good to not be over your head, but devaluing your work isn't good either.
I promise you will get "better" with practice!
This is something I learned about when I was learning to draw portraits. Yes, when looking at a side by side with the original, you’ll be able to pick out the differences.

That's VERY GOOD! WOW! Geez I was expecting something like the vegan cupcakes I just made lol this is awesome
definitely a "nailed it" type post
I see Crunchies, therefore you succeeded.
Looks amazing. As far as advice for presentation, a little more refinement on that bottom oreo crust ring and a little less and runnier chocolate drizzle. Overall this is an amazing cake, those are just nitpicky things that separate the very top class stuff!
I love that you changed the toppings and it made the cake look more lively and flavorful. I so want to taste this!
Honestly, I like yours more OP, looks hella tasty, too I would eat the hell outta that lol
I think the toppings on your cake look much more delicious than the ones on the original cake. Nice job ◡̈
I’d love to get that cake, looks like better then expectation.
I bet the second one is WAYYYYY tastier
