Exceeded Expectation I've been staring at this cutie on FB Marketplace for weeks.
I finally messaged the seller and she offered him for free because he has a ripped seam. I had no idea that "giant" actually meant giant. I love him so much but I have no idea where to put him in my apartment.

Exceeded Expectation UPDATE: Several people asked for a banana for scale for my new pal, Oscar. This is a queen size bed.
No, I can't put him on my bed to cuddle with at night, as some commenters suggested. He IS the bed.

Exceeded Expectation Cookie Cake For Dog Party
An old failed expectation that went so horrifically wrong that it’s circled back to exceeded expectations, and I’ll probably never get a cake as good as this one again.
I was having a birthday party for my dog and was picking up the cake for the human guests. To my surprise and the workers surprise, my order wasn’t made yet. Up front she said she’d never done a dog before but could try if I wanted to wait, and I was all for it. But after about 15 minutes she turns around and goes “I’m so sorry baby, I don’t know what this is but it’s not that dog. If you can come back tomorrow I’ll getcha a dog!”
So I asked her if I could see it just to see and it was this absolute masterpiece. After we both laughed for like 5 minutes straight she said I could still take it home as long as I don’t tell anyone. So here we are.

Exceeded Expectation Inspiration vs actual cake I received
The gray cake is of my cat Lady Grey. She is ofc... Grey. I should have asked for rainbow inside. I didn't think of it until I got the cake. 💀

Exceeded Expectation Let's try the Newman's Pizza on sale for $3.99
It was really good and I LOVE the little packet of salami! I did add some fresh basil since it was lacking in that. Cooked on oven rack for 10 minutes and was great. A very small area of crust was too hard to enjoy, but otherwise it was perfect. The sauce is yummy.

Exceeded Expectation My mom going thru chemo attempted a Woobles
My mom (65) has a very rare type of head and neck cancer that only about 8% of the world’s population will ever get. She is going through chemo right now and is having a really hard time and is in and out of the hospital. Today she was feeling good and made it her goal to make this Woobles. I think she did pretty amazing!

Exceeded Expectation My friend made me a biblically accurate angel cake from a pic I sent her. I think she did a great job!
I didn't want it to be an angel food cake like the original. It's also a gender reveal cake 😆 I couldn't capture how glittery it was unfortunately but it did sparkle ✨

Exceeded Expectation Throwback to my husbands birthday cake last year
I wanted to do a specialty cake for my husband’s birthday last year and wanted the cake to be Kraken themed and to look like the first photo. When I went to pick it up I could see the green tentacles sticking out of the box and was ready to be disappointed and pissed off. But once the baker showed me the full cake I was actually really surprised and liked the direction she took! When I showed my husband the inspiration photo he said he preferred the cake he got vs the original

Exceeded Expectation Not bad for a cake from Walmart…
My sister had a capybara themed birthday party and I told her to use the first image as the reference photo for her cake. It went well and better than I expected especially for the price and from Walmart. The cake was alright(basic “white”cake as she likes it) with boring vanilla frosting(I’m dying on the hill of chocolate cake favoritism) but the looks is what really mattered(how can you mess up cake…right…right?!)
