A WOMAN has slammed a professional baker after paying \u00a3120 for a \u201cdisgusting\u201d cake that looked like it was \u201cmoulded with five-year-old hands\u201d.<\/p>\n
Elly Vickere said the cake looked like it had been made with Play-Doh and was covered in hairs, dirt and \u201cfingernail marks\u201d.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
She said: \u201cIt was supposed to be a realistic cake but it\u2019s not only horrific looking, it\u2019s disgusting.\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\n
Elly shared her anger on social media as she revealed she drove two hours to pick up the cake from the baker.<\/p>\n
It was for her boyfriend\u2019s birthday and supposed to look like a realistic tub of protein powder.<\/p>\n
The Australia-based content creator fumed: \u201cI spent $230 (\u00a3120) on this cake and it looks like a kid could have rolled up some Play-Doh.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cIt looks like it\u2019s been moulded with five-year-old hands.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is unhygienic, it is dirty, it\u2019s got hair – several hairs – on it and I\u2019m angry right now.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe more that I sit with it, the more livid I am.\u201d<\/p>\n
Elly was initially recommended to use the baker by people on social media.<\/p>\n

What she did was she said that she couldn\u2019t be there for the hand off and that she would get her mum to hand it off.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen I drove the hour there, I was outside of the house, her mum came out while on the phone and she\u2019s like, \u2018I\u2019m really sorry, I can\u2019t talk. I\u2019m on a phone call\u2019.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cShe quickly grabs the cake, hands it to me and sends me off on my way.\u201d<\/p>\n Elly peeked at the cake through the box and accepted it wouldn\u2019t be totally realistic, but never could have anticipated what she would find when she fully opened the box.<\/p>\n She was mortified at how \u201cdirty\u201d and unrealistic it was.<\/p>\n Elly added: \u201cIt\u2019s got brown stains with black hair all over it… There\u2019s like a liquid coming out of it.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cI know she was specifically not there to hand off this disgusting cake. Like my heart is beating out of my chest.\u201d<\/p>\n Unfortunately, she didn\u2019t get a refund but the baker has now been banned from the Facebook group Elly initially found her.\u00a0<\/p>\nMillie Radford hints she’s hours from giving birth as she posts ‘last bump pic’<\/h3>\n
