I don't really have anything bad to say about this, I can't come close to something like that!

I'm gonna need an update on how this goes down at the wedding! Hopefully well as its very thoughtful and funny.
barnwolf
Well he'll probably be able to tell what it is, but I also wouldn't try selling your cakes yet.
ChemicalWonders
OP is nice, be my friend too so you can make me Charmander cakes c:
badgerbadgerbadgerbadgerbadger
It ain't Food Network ready, but it's a damn sight better than anything I could ever make....
TheGhostBehindYou
DON'T LISTEN TO THEM IT'A AN AWESOME CAKE!!!!!! IT LOOKS AWESOME!!! I WANT ONE TOO!!!! Especially because I'm a huge squirtle fan!!!
eyesbetterblknd
For a 1st cake that's awesome. My fiancé is gonna have a homer simpson cake at our wedding. I will not deny him what he wants!!
jbilly90
Wow thats much better than i could do. Good job. Im sure he will love it
Whiltierna
Fondant would look smoother, but shapeing is great and colors are good! Looks like a great gift!
FerretBomb
Yes, but this one has an important advantage over fondant. It's actually edible and doesn't taste like utter crap.
totallyrealname
He's gonna love it! A group of friends did it for another of our friends weddings - they made a full on Starcraft cake - it was delicious!
HavocWraith
I'd say well done! Could probably use some smoothing and a little more sculpting with the frosting. Still an awesome idea!
crashnburnxp
It looks like squirtle got um "squirted" on his sunglasses.
InfiniteStealth
IntelligentHippo
+1 because emotions matter more than looks (you're a good friend op)
SneakEFoxxe
I'll be honest here I'm not too optimistic about that marriage. Cake's great though.
myweaknessisstrong
It's the love that went into it. And I mean that sincerely.

Why does imgur not know about groom's casks. They exist for this reason, fun. Keep the main event timeless, use the rehearsal for fun.
OrionKaelin
For a first try on a character cake looks great! Alwayas room for improvement of course, but I;d eat it!
MyNamelsMrSnrub
Well shit, front page. I hope he's not on imgur since you guys might have ruined the suprise...
NonConformistFlamingo
This is why you wait until AFTER you give it to the person to post about an awesome surprise gift.
NonConformistFlamingo
Also, please tell me you aren't just going to pop that out at the wedding itself. At least ask the bride if it's okay first, if you are.
MyNamelsMrSnrub
*surprise. Urgh
vernel90
It looks fucking delicious. That's proper icing, not that fondant shit. I would stuff my face. Well done @OP!
GGertie
If he's not allowed a cake that he wants at his own wedding...that is sad.
JustMare
Awwww! :) It's cute! It's the thought that counts & the effort that went into making it! I think they will love it!

Ahh re read title. But still good job
MyNamelsMrSnrub
Nah man, I bake quite regularly. Just never gone for the whole, attempted sculpture masterpiece type thing. Maybe a step too soon for me!
MimzytheBun
Your frosting coloring is almost perfect, and as someone who knows how frustrating it can be big +1 from me!
TheMARSK
At least you started. Now you know what you did wrong and what you did right and you can work from there :)
kgiraffe
Nah, it looks awesome!
sprbwlshuffler
Wasn't allowed? I wonder how long that marriage will last.
NonConformistFlamingo
My husband and I both love video games but I still didn't allow him to choose a video game themed wedding cake. We're still married.
sprbwlshuffler
Just a joke. Stay calm.
Bovvie
I mean if she has no interest in pokemon it's be pretty shitty for him to insist on a pokemon cake, it's supposed to be about both of them
sprbwlshuffler
Just a joke. Stay calm.
ITalkAboutGoats
groom's cakes are a thing, but it might be a cost issue. In that case, it might be a good thing he made this.
cyno01
Wedding cake or grooms cake?
dorphlthewise
It was made with love, he'll appreciate it. It looks like crap though. Good job on being a good friend.
SpidermansStupidButtcrack
I dunno, I seen way worse on pintrest. I can tell what it is, and homemade buttercream (Or canned) is a bitch and a half to work with. GJ!
youlovemeyouhateme
I laughed at "looks like crap". Imgur should have a warning label for people with low self esteem. +1 for brutal honesty.
youlovemeyouhateme
Not saying op has low self esteem. Just observing the honesty of imgur.
Dietsurge
OP has high self esteem posting that crap on here. Nah for real I'd be happy if a friend made that for me, it's cool.
Siwieweah
Good god this is funny
lonepinkranger
We were all thinking it lol but yeah A for effort
Paroo
I like your compliment sandwich.
dorphlthewise
Exactly what I was going for, thanks.
CrabWallet
Looks pretty good for an amateur. I'd be touched if someone did this for me, @OP.
ABlastFromYourPast
Hey, congrats on making top comment!
dorphlthewise
Thanks blasto.
collegeisjustsadnessanddebt
Looks way better than what I could have done.
MetaVulture
Same. Mine would look like a blue turd with smudges of other colors. Like a smurf after being eaten and shat out.

collegeisjustsadnessanddebt
Can't say that I have.
MyNamelsMrSnrub
Haha, yep. Entirely buttercream though, I could have used fondant icing to make it neater but then it wouldn't taste as good!
Ifavouriteanimalgifs
Molding chocolate
conklesaurus
So much advice lol As a professional, I just wanted to say you did great especially for just buttercream and your first try +1
ktheman
If you want better fondant, you can have a go with melting marshmallows down together into the same consistency but with much better taste!
Volt1ighter
Taste over aesthetics. You've got the right priorities
Phyrie
Wait until buttercream dries slightly. Take small spatula, dip in water, use to smooth out piping and rough edges.
sheebalasvegas
so true! I think it looks cute though can at least tell that it's squirttle :P
MaybeIDontWantAUsername
I've seen worse. Well done
Thoraxe123
good thinking, you da real mvp
jwlewington
It looks like a real cake not a sculpture that's "technically" edible. Exactly what I would want!
GrandmaSlappy
Dude it's a bit crappy but that is well on the good end of crappy XD
scrawnyclownsnatch
Marshmallow fondant tastes really good and is easy to make
fe1od1or
Try smoothing the frosting a bit (but not the shell!), other than the patchy icing it's great.
ohschist
next time add a little more powdered sugar
Left4dawn
I don't think it looks like crap. Like you can easily tell what it is. It's just hard to make something smooth and neat with buttercream.
ThePretzelFamily
Fondant is such a sacrifice of flavour for appearance, good choice OP
alliephotoshopsthings
Buttercream with real butter? That looks delicious
eviscera
It looks awesome. It looks like it was homemade because it was. It's great.
jwlewington
It looks like a real cake not a sculpture that's "technically" edible. Exactly what I would want!
youreAlizardLarry
Fuck that it looks great. Fondant isn't worth having a cake to just look at good work
THEszechuansauce
Flavor is better than looks Op, good choice. But I think it still looks good
DragonFromAFewDoorsOver
Some smoothing of the frosting on the limbs and head would have done wonders for its appearance. For a first time though you did quite well.
MyNamelsMrSnrub
I originally piped it on, then tried to smooth it out. As soon as I got going it got very clingy to the utensil and I just stopped trying.
Majawat
Optionally, you could have made an artistic choice and left the piping as is with a decorative tip. My mom does that a lot with star tips!
MochiLove13
Dipping the utensil in water before you smooth helps a lot
MimzytheBun
Or chilling the cake can help too!
ITalkAboutGoats
buttercream on the cake under the fondant so it can be taken off. Additionally, marshmallow fondant is delicious. 2
ITalkAboutGoats
You can't pull off the cake directly, you have to slide, sort of how you spread peanut butter. Also, most people put on a thick layer of 1
TerraformTrent
It doesn't look THAT bad. It's a high-quality turd. Well-formed. Like rabbit dung.
cakeresurfacer
Are you bringing this to the wedding unannounced? Cause the bride may lose her shit.
NotMe0125
I highly recommend cluing the bride in on the surprise if she doesn't know.... Just a cover your ass tactic. It is a really sweet gesture!!
NotMe0125
The cake is a sweet gesture. I'm sure the groom will love it!
ladybird2223
Not a question on if the groom will like it. It's the bride OP needs to check with, especially if it is a more formal wedding than casual.
JapaneseStudentTadashii
Could just use it as a wedding gift or a bachelor party cake lol
sleepmask
Thought the same thing. This screams "WHY AREN'T YOU MARRYING *ME* INSTEAD"
raraRasputinrussiasgreatestlovemachine

You obviously havent watched enough Disney movies.
cakeresurfacer
At least for me it would have been a matter of how much I put into desserts - I did them myself- and the risk of allergies to my nephews
votress
a lot of people are perfectionists, wedding is the biggest day of your life (except having kids) and they just want it to be perfect -
votress
according to the vision they have in their heads. ideally you marry a guy who has mostly the same vision, or who doesn't mind either way
jwlewington
A lot of women have been raised to think their wedding day is the most important day of their entire lives. They get to be a princess! etc.
jwlewington
None of the women in my family have been like that for their weddings but a lot of the friends have.
DigitalHare
Truth.
legalbeagleOSU
Dude you don't bring a cake to someone else's wedding unless asked... Why is that so difficult??
bopitbro
If it as about BOTH she should have veto rights, as should he. Just because she vetoed a cake doesn't make her "fucking prissy"
ThalosTheSoviet
Well it's a gift for the groom and it's a cake for him not the wedding
ladybird2223
The question is if OP is bringing it to the actual wedding where the bride didn't want it in the 1st place or just to groom's home.
imnicetopeopleontheinternet
So...you're not married, huh?
ITalkAboutGoats
groom's cakes are definitely a thing.
