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

\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

She said: \u201cI needed a realistic cake so I posted in a Facebook group about women in business saying, \u2018Please recommend a cake maker that specialises in realistic cakes\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople tagged this lady and she actually ended up messaging me saying that she could take on the challenge.\u201d<\/p>\n

The brief was for a \u201cchocolate mud and chocolate buttercream between layers\u201d of sponge, decorated to look like a \u201cprotein bucket\u201d with fondant icing.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Elly said when she picked up the pricey cake, the baker\u2019s mum handed the order over.<\/p>\n

Elly said: \u201cInterestingly enough, the girl didn\u2019t want to be there to hand off this cake.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think she knew she was scamming me. 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

Unfortunately, she didn\u2019t get a refund but the baker has now been banned from the Facebook group Elly initially found her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
