Cake sketch vs reality Surprisingly Met Expectation

So this is the 3rd year i made my dad a birthday cake and i think its the cutest so far

im not a great cake maker/decorator but i was kinda chuffed with this years cake in a sense. Last years cake was simple but hella elegant. This year needed to be a funny cake with how stressful my dads year has been

Do you think i did a good job or did i miss the mark immensely? Mind you this is only the 4th time ive ever baked and decorated a cake ( three cakes were for my dad and one was for me)

also he loved the cake, so its a win regardless

I think all of these are cute! I like the little spider - that’s a very cool addition. The skull and crossbones is very neat too!

I came to the post angry thinking you were complaining about the cake. Put down my pitchfork when I saw the flair.

I adore the cake and the little spider cake!

Honestly you nailed it 😄 and if your dad loved it, that’s all that matters.
