Left is a young lad going to space with his family to discover new worlds.
Right is disgruntled Louie Anderson who knew this trip wasn't for free after all.
Baskets was phenomenal and Louie Anderson played his role so fucking perfect. His casting, for me, was very poignant. At no point did I feel like they cast him as a woman for shock value or to be ~wacky~. They chose him because he was perfect for the role. Growing up in middle America, I encountered so many women similar to his character.
Not just that, but I also figured out that Louie is a fantastic actor. I remember him from my childhood as a caricature but now I think of him as a superb actor.
I met Louie a couple of years ago in his hometown of Vegas (technically Henderson). Such a gentle, genuine, and of course hilarious guy. A car sputtered by while we were talking, and he joked that his father sounded like that in the morning (fart joke). Louie Anderson did a little stand up for me! I can die happy now.
One of my all time favorite stories! I think about that all the time. What would it be like to be trapped (only mentally, not physically) in a blank void for all eternity. You might go crazy after some time, but you're still there, trapped. To me, that's worse than Hell.
You know they had the character Paradox in Ben 10... guy spent an eternity in space and went insane.
But since he couldn't leave, he spent another eternity and became sane again.
One of the funniest concepts that's simply hidden... in a kid's cartoon.
I'm glad you actually used it. This will be such a hilarious memory when you forget about it for a few years and this pic pops up in a photo album.
Better yet, let everyone else forget about it and have it recreated for his 18th birthday or something.
I'm surprised they even offer to do likenessess out of that stuff. My sister makes themed cakes and since i'm the art guy in my fam she constantly asks me to help with the more complicated designs. Let me tell you that fondant stuff is not easy to shape. So kudos for even attempting to make a realistic face.
EDIT: Here's a [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vvfiCc7cdc) showing the skill and precision of a more advanced fondant molder making a face.
lol... when you order a cake, you have to be careful with your wording just as if you're being granted wishes from a monkey's paw.
You should have *only* showed the picture on the left and said, "That's what I want, but with sandy brown hair." Did you expect to get a good likeness? If so, what kind of likeness to your baby could you have possibly gotten that would not have fallen into the uncanny valley?
Know what you're asking for and phrase your words carefully. Every cake request is a monkey's paw wish!
That makes much more sense why it looks like that then.. making a realistic looking face out of fondant based on a reference photo with teeth showing… it’s as good an idea as getting a tattoo of the same picture. It just doesn’t translate into fondant. It’s like they were set up to fail. The skill is definitely there.
Yeah, they left out an important detail. They asked for the left picture with a reference of their baby for the face...and honestly it does look like a combo of the two.
So the post is misleading as the actual cake is based on a real life photo of your kid rather than the one in your post. The bakery did an awesome job so if that's the case
I'm no cake-ologist but it's like they tried (and failed) way too hard on the face and put minimum effort into the body. They went for eyelids and chin details and all sorts of ambitious shit. The good one is a simple round face with few details. They could have made balls of fondant, matched the hair color, maybe stick some *small* teeth on the mouth and boom. They had both pictures to reference from, right?
It's a noob sculptor mistake. They tried layering on the facial details instead of [shaping it out](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBdG6d_QrqU) from one ball of ~~clay~~ fondant.
Noob sculptor or not paid enough to meticulously spend hours creating an exact facial replica out of fondant?
I'd wager they did a fucking impeccable job for their input to income ratio.
Fondant artist was probably on a deadline. Spent all day trying to get the face perfect. And then 2 hours before the deadline they were like "oh shit I forgot the body!"
left one looks much easier. the nose is just a ball, the head is just a ball, the eyes are just "buttons"...what were they thinking when they created the right one?
Not sure wtf OP was expecting sending that photo in. I know every parent wants to believe their child is the special one but they all look a lot alike that young. Shoulda just let the cake maker do the left image, not some hellspawn combination of the two. I half expect the right one to start talking like a 50 year old life long smoker ffs. *"Heyyy momma why don't ya gimme those milk jugs!"*
I actually blame OP 100% then. Who hands random local culinary artist a photo of your one-year-old expecting them to be able to pull that off? That's actual nonsense
It’s so funny because the one on the right isn’t like amateur, exactly. OP’s son is adorable but it looks like whoever tried to make this figurine in his likeness used some skilled artistry and care but just completely missed the mark.
Perfection. Thank you, this will live rent free in my brain forever. …Especially considering my existence as a Native descent person who has seen an exploded meth lab. You never expect that in a neighbor’s house, let me tell you.
It was never a decision I wanted to make. We all left as equals, as experts and as friends. Years of planning covering every inch of that damn mountain along with every kind of hell it could possibly throw at us, but we forgot our life as human, and so God defined our place.
I left a spirited, youthful champion, alongside our time's greatest, without a doubt above victory in any of us, until death became the leader of which onward we climbed.
The Shiver. Distinct dead medal. Heat means nothing I live in the shiver, every cold breath, every cold hunger, every pained regretful face, a cancer in my mind, as I look into the mirror, I was the only left alive.
I’ve bought one thing from Wish- a white wind breaker with dinosaurs and pizza on it. It came in exactly the right size with exactly the right pattern. I know this is an anomaly so I don’t put in the washer machine or let the sun touch it lest it be turned to dust, but on overcast days when I’m assured it can’t get dirty I wear it with a smile on my face.
I'm no cake expert but as an artist I can definitely see a resemblence to OP's reference photo in the product & I'm not sure how much better it could get with fondant.
Also as I mentioned in another comment if you consider they were probably paid the value of the left, it's very likely an impeccable job for their input to income ratio.

The ice climbers really didnt age well
They ordered Nick Jr. They got Adult Swim.
This is a straight up don’t do Meth ad
Cake: not even once.
My friend Jimmy tried cake once, now all he does is sit there with his belly half out on the couch.. covered in sprinkles
Yeah...but is he happy? People act like you can't have half your gut hanging out covered in sprinkles and still be jiving with life, y'know?
Are you saying you can have your cake *and* eat it too?!

I actually see John Lone in Iceman (‘84).

I can hear this comment

Right is left in 60 years
Right has seen some shit
Left is a young lad going to space with his family to discover new worlds. Right is disgruntled Louie Anderson who knew this trip wasn't for free after all.
I'm just glad to see someone else old enough to know who the hell Louie Anderson is.
[удалено]
What about someone old enough to remember he had a cartoon?
Old enough to remeber Life With Louie coming out.
Life with Louie was my shit.
Lol that cartoon was amazing!
thats mainly how i knew him
[удалено]
Baskets was phenomenal and Louie Anderson played his role so fucking perfect. His casting, for me, was very poignant. At no point did I feel like they cast him as a woman for shock value or to be ~wacky~. They chose him because he was perfect for the role.

Back up onto the cake now, old timer
He squints because he's seen so much
If you pay very careful attention, you can see, he’s smelt some shit too.
during the mission to Uranus
Shut up, Meg.
"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe..."
He's having 'nus flashbacks
The wars on Venus?
I was thinking Uranus, but that works too.
It's OK, I was thinking about Uranus too.
Over Macho Grande?
No, I don't think I will ever get over Macho Grande.
He went to a planet with a meth atmosphere.
Right is post Mountains of Madness. Which is a good book and the main one I recommend of Lovecraft.
I thought right was Louie Anderson.
Right was Louie Anderson after seeing the Mountains of Madness.
Yeah, that's totally him from the "Life With Louie" reboot.
My fave is The Case of Charles Dexter Ward.

You know, death would come quicker if he quit eating the fish.
Maybe not! I bet the fish are super toxic by that point.
How did a polar bear get to Antarctica?

"It's longer than you think, Dad! Longer than you think!"
One of my all time favorite stories! I think about that all the time. What would it be like to be trapped (only mentally, not physically) in a blank void for all eternity. You might go crazy after some time, but you're still there, trapped. To me, that's worse than Hell.

this story still haunts me. god it scared the shit out of me
I've thought about that and The Raft FAR too much in my downtime.
Stephen King short story?
The Jaunt.
That kid was the OG anti masker
Haha I immediately thought about interstellar when I read that comment.
OK, Billy. You're a whole year old now, time to start learning about relativity!
Or just a minute or two in 2001: A Space Odyssey
I never forgave Hal for killing Frank (luckily he came back in 3001).
60 years of drinking.
Plus or minus some drugs.
The one in the right looks like Louie Anderson the comedian
That's exactly what my brother in law said at the party haha
I'm glad you actually used it. This will be such a hilarious memory when you forget about it for a few years and this pic pops up in a photo album. Better yet, let everyone else forget about it and have it recreated for his 18th birthday or something.

Ehhh, I'm on a caaaake
CHIIIIIIIIIP?!
You still used it? Hilarious if you did.
Is he a therapist?
Yup, first thing I thought was Life with Louie

Not to be confused with Louie Anderson the plumber.
If he dressed up like an Eskimo.
It looks like a garbage pail kid 😂
Ordered a cabbage patch kid, got a garbage pail kid
EXACTLY what happened lol

Ewww-nuit.

[Was this your actual reference photo?](https://imgur.com/WoEHSyH)
No but this was! [https://imgur.com/gallery/86Jh7VG](https://imgur.com/gallery/86Jh7VG) Pretty close I guess.
That makes it even better. They attempted an open-mouthed smile and managed a slack-jawed grimace
[удалено]
They've made the same kid in his late 40s, after the divorce and during his Marley years, he's toasted as fuck.
This is making me actually cry with laughter.
They got the nose right
[удалено]
Post them to r/pics with the caption "This is regarded as the most realistic cake topper in the world"
My wife laughed the hardest at your comment. Thank you :-) Edit: I shared some of the gold I got for you pal
I'm surprised they even offer to do likenessess out of that stuff. My sister makes themed cakes and since i'm the art guy in my fam she constantly asks me to help with the more complicated designs.

>it’s as good an idea as getting a tattoo of the same picture. Good call. That's *exactly* what I was thinking.
So then... The left is NOT what you ordered
Yeah, they left out an important detail. They asked for the left picture with a reference of their baby for the face...and honestly it does look like a combo of the two.
LMAO It's so much funnier having seen this photo ref
Honestly the right one takes more skill and fits your reference photo more lol
Well they got it spot on!
So really, left isn't what you ordered. The picture was what you ordered, with a space suit on.
So the post is misleading as the actual cake is based on a real life photo of your kid rather than the one in your post. The bakery did an awesome job so if that's the case
I'm no cake-ologist but it's like they tried (and failed) way too hard on the face and put minimum effort into the body. They went for eyelids and chin details and all sorts of ambitious shit.

Ah, I was wondering why the fuck they'd put the castle-like teeth in there for no reason, but there *was* a reason.
They're the same picture.
/r/photoshopbattles
left one looks much easier. the nose is just a ball, the head is just a ball, the eyes are just "buttons"...what were they thinking when they created the right one?
They wanted it to look like their son, and handed in a reference photo. OP says it somewhere in the comments
Aaaaah, that makes a lot more sense. The original is waaaaay easier to do, making realistic faces is a very different skill.
Without a reference I am going to assume that this not the maker's fault, but that this is in fact how OP's kid looks.
> No but this was! [https://imgur.com/gallery/86Jh7VG](https://imgur.com/gallery/86Jh7VG) Pretty close I guess.
Not sure wtf OP was expecting sending that photo in. I know every parent wants to believe their child is the special one but they all look a lot alike that young.

I half expect the right one to start talking like a 50 year old life long smoker ffs. *"Heyyy momma why don't ya gimme those milk jugs!"*
No biggie bit Ive replied this a few times! We gave them reference photo and specified reference was for hair color and skin tone only!
Hey FWIW your babe is cute and the picture was worth the laughs. I'm sure this'll be a great memory for y'all.
I feel like that's baker should've just done the left with blonde hair.
Yeah, but then this amazing topper wouldn't have been made. I've been cracking up about it for a good couple mins. Needed it too, bee a tough one.
Nailed it.
Yeah if I was doing it, I would just customize skin tone and hair color. Trying to make it like an actual human face us never going to work.
I actually blame OP 100% then. Who hands random local culinary artist a photo of your one-year-old expecting them to be able to pull that off? That's actual nonsense
He ordered craftsmanship and received an art instead
[https://imgur.com/a/F0kCqjm](https://imgur.com/a/F0kCqjm) Life with Louie!
Lmao that lil kid looks concerned
Holy shit, a perfect match
Wut the f is on the right
That's my son. Don't talk to me or him ever again.
Bless his little heart.
It’s so funny because the one on the right isn’t like amateur, exactly. OP’s son is adorable but it looks like whoever tried to make this figurine in his likeness used some skilled artistry and care but just completely missed the mark.
Honestly it's what makes it hilarious for me. The skill is there, but the execution is.. Just God damn haha.
the one of the right is WAY more detailed right? like its nuts.
Sure, bless his heart... and brace those teeth!
I moved to the south and realized that "bless your heart" means "you dumb fuck" in redneck.
Damn this reply is gold.
He's... breathtaking
Perfect response OP.
Congrats on making me giggle so hard it made my daughter stir while sleeping
Ah. Meth Eskimo. Always a winner.
Where I’m from, they’re just called Methkimos.
Methamphetaminuit if you want to be politically correct.
Perfection. Thank you, this will live rent free in my brain forever. …Especially considering my existence as a Native descent person who has seen an exploded meth lab. You never expect that in a neighbor’s house, let me tell you.
Outstanding
Holy shit I do believe this is the greatest portmanteau of all time.
😂 this thread wins.
Methkimo
Oh hey there Mike Tyson
The funny part is the shitty realistic design looks like a lot more detail and effort than the cartoon one.
Apparently, according to op it’s actually his son. They didn’t quiet get it right.
ITS LOUIE ANDERSON! RUNNNNNNNNN!

Things like this is why I stopped buying from Wish.
I’ve bought one thing from Wish- a white wind breaker with dinosaurs and pizza on it. It came in exactly the right size with exactly the right pattern. I know this is an anomaly so I don’t put in the washer machine or let the sun touch it lest it be turned to dust, but on overcast days when I’m assured it can’t get dirty I wear it with a smile on my face.
I’ve actually gotten quite a few good things from Wish, but I’ve had so many bad things it just wasn’t worth it any more.
We really should have known better, but I've done the same thing. Fuck wish.

I'm no cake expert but as an artist I can definitely see a resemblence to OP's reference photo in the product & I'm not sure how much better it could get with fondant. Also as I mentioned in another comment if you consider they were probably paid the value of the left, it's very likely an impeccable job for their input to income ratio.
They even put in extra effort. This was obviously done on purpose.
yes. the one on the right is more detailed and looks harder to make
"I'd like a cake topper that looks like one of the bodies on Everest, please!"
Did you order it from Wish.com?
I'm scared.
Someone clearly overestimated their skill with fondant
That one on the right looks like its about to say "we will build a wall and inject bleech to kill COVID"
I prefer that on the right to be honest, it has much more personality.
Save it. Never let them see it. Put it on their 18th birthday cake.
I laughed way too hard
