- A professional baker’s video showcasing the poor craftsmanship of a lion-inspired cake has sparked widespread outrage and amusement online.
- @learncakesandbaking shared a clip showcasing a botched lion cake, highlighting the increasing issue of inferior baking deliveries and the negative impact on industry professionals.
A lion-themed cake has stirred up strong reactions across social media after a video exposed its poor design and craftsmanship.
Shared by @learncakesandbaking on Instagram, the viral clip features a misshapen, boxy cake with an awkwardly sculpted lion face — a far cry from the professionally made version it was meant to replicate. The original, made by popular baker @dripplescakes, is known for its detailed and visually stunning design.
In the post, @learncakesandbaking criticized the execution of the imitation, using the opportunity to call out a growing issue in the baking community — underwhelming cake orders that harm the reputation of skilled professionals.
“Interesting version of Mama @dripplescakes lion cake. Please don’t accept a job that you cannot execute. Or better still, accept it and collaborate with a capable hand that can execute it perfectly,” the caption read.
The video quickly attracted thousands of views and comments. While some users were amused by the botched result, others expressed frustration over declining quality in the custom cake industry. Many supported the baker’s message, urging more honesty and collaboration in the profession.
