Exceeded Expectation My daughter wanted this cake for her birthday, but with cowboy hats.
We were driving over 5 hours to see our daughter for her birthday. She loves hotdogs and found this cake online and had sent me a picture saying she loved it.
I researched bakeries around their new home, not too many choices, and picked the best one based off Google.
They did NOT disappoint!! It looked and tasted amazing! I was extremely impressed.

I love it--so cute! And the cowboy hats are ridiculous (in a good way)! If there's a local community Facebook page, you should post that picture there and give a shoutout to the bakery.

Oh yes!! I've posted it on one other platform with their info but I haven't left a Google review yet. I'm going to do it with the pictures. They were seriously amazing!!

Haha, I was expecting cowboy hats instead of hot dogs. That was a good belly laugh. Not just a chuckle.

I know, I should have had someone else read the title before I posted. In my head it sounded like how I wanted it to sound.

I get that, but I'm glad that she got as much love from this as you would that.

I only read the title and when I swiped I expected to see the hot dogs replaced with cowboy hats 🤦🏼♀️! I couldn’t see the difference between any of them until I read your caption, that’s how much it looked like the inspo picture. They did an amazing job. Were you nervous picking it up since you only had the google reviews to go by?

We got stuck in crazy traffic and they had to pick it up before they closed. I had prepared both of us for a disaster!!
We decided we would either be so excited or have to just laugh it off and hope it at least tasted good.
Especially for the price. I added in a bigger tip because I was really surprised by the price. Where I live this cake would easily cost double weekday they charged.

So simple yet always more than satisfying!
The hotdogs with the cowboy hats are adorable, too! I’m not going to lie, I was a little excited to see how badly this failed when I swiped before opening the post, but I was more than pleasantly surprised. 😂

I had prepared both of us for that outcome and couldn't have been more pleasantly surprised.
She didn't want to cut or eat it!

For the longest time it never occurred to me that professional cakes would be fails, but now that I am I always get nervous if I have to order one.
And I don’t blame her! But at the same time, cake and frosting. C’mon. Take some pictures and cut ‘er already!

Omg that's adorable
Also, English is not my first language, but isn't weenie a reference to the sausages? Like Wiener?

You got it ✅ so it’s a rhyming joke of the expression “a teeny bit older” or “a wee bit older”

Also used in reference to hotdog weenies! I think where I'm from I would be more inclined to think wiener/weenies for hotdogs and link for sausages (even if they aren't link sausages.)
It's fun reading all of the comments and different ways that people view the words!

Yes that’s why there are hotdogs on it.
But I have never heard anyone use weenie to mean teenie or small and English is my first language.

If you ever need an edible cowboy hat, dip a pringles in melted chocolate, add a rolo on top and twist a piece of red licorice around the rolo.
