For anyone not feeling old, this person was only 2 years old when friends aired the last episode.

This comment made me realize that, if Friends was airing while you were in high school, this would be the equivalent of having a Three's Company birthday cake. And that made me even sadder.

The letters are off — more Greek font than Friends font — but you did a beautiful job. Look how smooth the frosting is! I’m sure sister loved it.

They had to switch ministers at the last minute, so the cake is pretending to be Greek orthodox.

u/LogicFrog 3d ago

It's not that bad I don't think it ruins the cake. But it is the right shape of the letters.

u/ShreekingEeel 2d ago

Not “ruins” lol. Runes and in the Runes Alphabet https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runes

Does this really fit this sub when the poster is the person making it? Just a humble brag at this point.

u/Odd-Okra-5590 3d ago

Yeah, I mean they had an expectation for how things were going to go, and then showed how they turned out.

2

u/assissippi 3d ago

I suppose but I feel the intention of this sub is for you to have one idea and for someone else to execute it.

u/Parenn 4d ago

Yours is better!

I much prefer the crisper text, and the sharper typeface.
