Cake drama leaves Thai woman in a crumby situation

A Thai woman ordered a 5-pound cake costing 1,893 baht but received a product that left her and many others questioning its quality. The online community heavily criticised the cake’s appearance, igniting a viral debate.

The woman posted a picture of the pandan caviar cake, which she ordered from a well-known bakery in Mahachai, Samut Sakhon, with an image in the centre. She questioned the cake’s quality.

“This is a 5-pound cake costing 1,893 baht. Couldn’t they do better? This is horrible. Is this even a cake?”

The post has since garnered numerous comments, with many users sharing the woman’s disappointment. The consensus was that the cake was overpriced given its poor presentation.

“Any style should be acceptable, but not something this atrocious.”

“It looks like a child made it out of clay.”

Criticisms ranged from the cake’s aesthetics to the apparent lack of professionalism in its decoration.

“This looks like lazy decorating. The person doesn’t love their job.”

“As a cake maker, this doesn’t show any skill. The cream piping looks like someone’s first attempt.”

More feedback poured in, highlighting the disparity between the cake’s cost and its quality.

“A 5-pound cake for 1,700 baht is standard but a cake decorated like this is not normal.”

“It looks like they let a trainee make it.”

Others questioned the bakery’s credibility and standards.

“Does the shop not have any pictures of previous cakes or work? How did they even open a shop like this? I feel sorry for the customers.”

“If the bakery doesn’t care this much, they should at least price it accordingly.”

The harsh critiques didn’t end there.

“The edges aren’t even smooth. Go back and learn before you open a shop.”

“Even without a design, it should be decorated beautifully so customers will return. But with this, it’s a one-time purchase.”

The bakery in question has yet to respond to the widespread criticism, leaving many to wonder about their side of the story, reported KhaoSod.
