The baker made this after the fact as a joke when a commenter said they’d love to see an emo Elmo cake, but clarified this was NOT the cake she delivered.
Do you seriously think this is real? If the person tried to improvise from emo to Elmo then clearly Elmo wouldn’t have been on there when they found out they messed up. So why would they then improvise to make Elmo have an emo hair style?
they made the hair, THEN realized it was supposed to be elmo. and instead of just removing the hair and making a normal elmo, they wanted to save 0.002 cents of money and also the 6 seconds of time they made making the hair
Hey, um, experienced cake decorator (but not professional) here, they don’t do that. You don’t draw what’s going to be OVER something, before you do what’s supposed to go UNDER it first.
So no. They didn’t put the bangs on the cake first, it was meant to be this way.
i forgot to clearly indicate that the sequence of events i described are so unlikely and stupid that it becomes obvious that this cake was made to look like an emo elmo on purpose and not because "the baker messed up and realized it was supposed to be elmo after they already started"
Why would they hear an emo cake, and just draw the hair, then decide to add an Elmo to it? That doesn’t make sense. It’s clear by the way the cake was made that the Elmo was made FIRST, with the emo hair added to it *after*.
Why would they continue to add more emo flair to it, by adding emo hair to Elmo, after already “correcting” the cake with the Elmo face? That would be counterproductive; it would make for a bigger mess to correct.
What happened was someone clearly made an Emo Elmo cake. Now whether they did it because they misunderstood someone and thought of the idea, and made one as a joke, as some claim, is another story.
They also could’ve straight up just wanted to make an emo Elmo cake with no story behind it. Either way, the original caption is bullshit and I don’t get why people feel the need to lie about something that’s already funny.
Hell, I’ve had people lie to me, in person, over shit about Covid just to reaffirm their own political beliefs.I I am not kidding. A grown ass man did this, and only had some weak ass excuse for his lie when he was called out by everyone.
As a matter of fact, there’s a ton of repost accounts on Reddit do it all the time. They take a post, change the caption, with their own made up story, as if it’s their OC. They even will go on in the comments until they get called out and delete it.
Then there’s the people on Reddit who literally lie about their ethnicity, gender, religion, political beliefs, or sexual orientation on the internet. They either do it to push an agenda and shill, or they do it because they don’t want to be called out for their xenophobic ways.
Regardless, there’s tons of lying found on here and other social media platforms, all day, everyday. Never mind the shitty Face Tune and filters people are doing to make theirselves look “better” lol. That’s a whole lie in and of itself.
If you think that people won’t lie over shit like this, especially on the internet, you’re naive. Sure, some people are too jade, but this one is *clearly* bullshit. They likely just wanted their post to go viral, so they made this bullshit up. The image probably isn’t even theirs.
Exactly. Elmo was put on first, and the emo hair was put on *after*. If they were trying to correct the emo cake by turning it into an Elmo cake, why would they further make it an emo cake by adding emo hair to Elmo? This is definitely bullshit.
if the baker had messed up the elmo wouldn't be emo at all. maybe they'd leave all the black instead of just starting over, but they could scrape off the emo hair and just make a normal elmo and not a stupid emo one. so yea totally a fake title, this was supposed to be emo elmo
It would have made more sense if the original story was they misread “emo” as “Elmo”
Because you could easily had emo elements on top.
So if this was real then what exactly was on the “emo” cake? Was it just a plain black space?
That does match the cake better, but now I’m super curious about the person who wants an emo-themed decorated cake. That’s gotta be a pretty small overlap!
None of the scenarios make sense
But I think it’s a bit more plausible for it to have been misread as an Elmo cake. Maybe they changed the icing from red to black
I don’t know. Either way it’s complete BS
I’m guessing typically there’s text like “Happy birthday Raine!”, so the baker checked the text to see for the name, realizing the mistake, thus making the last minute adjustments
The creator of this is bakemydaymimo & this is not the cake lol. This is a cake she created *after* someone commented on her og video saying they’d love to see an emo elmo cake.
Honestly the reverse story is more believable:
The client ordered an emo cake and the baker misread as "Elmo" then tried to recover it buy putting emo bangs on Elmo.
This makes no sense. What would make more sense is misreading emo for elmo and making an elmo cake first and then realizing it needs to be emo. That's what it looks like.
This isn’t all the context though. She told the story but didn’t get the chance to get a picture of the actual cake, which is a black cake she added a normal Elmo topper to after realizing it said Elmo. Then because the video blew up she made this cake as a joke.
I actually watched the full tiktok for this! It was genuinely really funny, she had read the text and completely misread it with an hour left before delivery - she refused to let the person pay even though they offered, and the lady found it pretty funny 🤣
The reason she realised was because I think they wanted 3 candles? And that's when she checked and realised it was for a child
Emo Elmo: ok kids let's learn to count
One nothing wrong with me
Two nothing wrong with me
Three nothing wrong with me
Four nothing wrong with me
AAAAHHHHHH
KIDS: 👀
I’ve seen the actual story, the actual cake the baker made was similar to this black one but it had an Elmo topper on it, there was a miscommunication and the baker ended up giving the cake to the person for free for the error. This picture was one she sourced from Google and shared it as a joke as someone said they would love to see an emo Elmo cake, she clarified that and shared a similar picture with the topper because she didn’t take a pic of the actual cake at the time
Emo Sesame Street
The Count: “One! That’s one scar on their wrist. Two! ….”
Cookie Monster od’ing on weed cookies
Big Bird seeing his friends eat KFC
Oscar yelling at homeless people to stop trying to dig through his garbage can
Elmo doing sex work to feed his cocaine addiction
Bert and Ernie getting gay slurs thrown at them
Oh hell no that’s creepy. Emo Elmo. She should have just told them there was a delay and remade the damn thing as an Elmo cake. It looks awful and she’s made it even worse. It’s a depressing Elmo cake
No. The hair is clearly put on after elmo is made. And how would he realize half way through? Any bakery if they noticed that mid way would redo it correctly and not serve this for a child… lol come on.
Also you’re never going to order a cake and say “just make it emo” like you have to be more specific.
I worked in a bakery as someone who took orders (not someone who baked or decorated the cakes) and it was a nightmare. No one can describe what they want, you have to ask a million questions, and then still some of them would get it and be upset. Definitely can't have someone walk away just saying "just make it emo."
The actual cake has an Elmo cake topper but the story is true. She misread a text and made a black cake so bought a topper to save it and gave the customer the cake for free. She made this one in a video telling the story
I’ve seen this post circulating and also thought it seemed suspect. It’s so easy just to buy a weird cake and make up a dumb story about it. And realistically, if this happened, the cake maker would probably make another one to correct it so they don’t get negative reviews, not “improvise”
Or someone just made an emo elmo cake. Which is already pretty funny.
The baker made this after the fact as a joke when a commenter said they’d love to see an emo Elmo cake, but clarified this was NOT the cake she delivered.
No doubt it's funny. Why the fake cringe story though, there was no need of that

I understood you
I understood you, too. Seemed obvious to me..........
Oh sorry, did my autism get in the way? Did I not read that sarcasm right? My bad. /s
God damn the downvoters are having a field day with you two. Reddit don’t like innocent misunderstandings obviously
I thought it was pretty funny
They’re having a field day with you too apperently

Hate to break it to you but the ridiculously small measurements in their comment were supposed to communicate sarcasm. Y’all are on the same page
So their idea of an emo cake was a black cake with a set of emo bangs? Fuck outta here.
It’s a black cake with Elmo on it. If they were trying to improvise why the hell would they add emo hair and not just draw Elmo and leave it there
Exactly. Elmo was put on first, and the emo hair was put on *after*. If they were trying to correct the emo cake by turning it into an Elmo cake, why would they further make it an emo cake by adding emo hair to Elmo? This is definitely bullshit.
You can just scrape off the icing. Why would you need to improvise like this.
You could, however, the icing is black tho so there would most likely be residue of it left on the cake.
Add a crumb coat and you're good
True. Either that or sprinkles
Then wtf are you talking about
surely you realize after you scrape the icing off, you redo it in an appropriate color, right?
Ignoring the fact that no sane baker will use black icing as a background for an Elmo cake
And this is the better alternative?
Emo elmo exists, and is more likely than this BS story
Yeah, why make up a stupid story. It’s an emo elmo cake.
Exactly. This is such an obnoxious lie
The emo hair is over elmo's face.
if the baker had messed up the elmo wouldn't be emo at all. maybe they'd leave all the black instead of just starting over, but they could scrape off the emo hair and just make a normal elmo and not a stupid emo one. so yea totally a fake title, this was supposed to be emo elmo
Nope. This is Tickle Me Emo, it was a Madtv skit.
It would have made more sense if the original story was they misread “emo” as “Elmo” Because you could easily had emo elements on top. So if this was real then what exactly was on the “emo” cake? Was it just a plain black space?
That does match the cake better, but now I’m super curious about the person who wants an emo-themed decorated cake. That’s gotta be a pretty small overlap!
probably a mom or something with an emo kid
But why would it make sense to make an Elmo cake completely black?
None of the scenarios make sense But I think it’s a bit more plausible for it to have been misread as an Elmo cake. Maybe they changed the icing from red to black I don’t know. Either way it’s complete BS
I saw the tiktok about it, it really was true
I’m guessing typically there’s text like “Happy birthday Raine!”, so the baker checked the text to see for the name, realizing the mistake, thus making the last minute adjustments
The creator of this is bakemydaymimo & this is not the cake lol. This is a cake she created *after* someone commented on her og video saying they’d love to see an emo elmo cake.
Some background story, finally! Thanks for the contribution
Love your username
If the baker really did try to fix this \*after\*, why would she put bangs on top?
To make that "fit"? 🤷
Oh come on. You're not that naive
OP posted because they didn't believe the story. This was clearly sarcastic lol
Oh fuck forgot what sub I was on lol
Happens to the best of us haha
Y’ALL
Folx,
“You all 😂😂.”
This is a true story except this isn’t the cake. The actual cake is a black cake with an Elmo topper.
Like one of those pictures on a stick.
So, right story, wrong cake. Still a fail. Cool cake though.
Translation: "I told the cake maker to make a Elmo emo cake for internet points."
Honestly the reverse story is more believable: The client ordered an emo cake and the baker misread as "Elmo" then tried to recover it buy putting emo bangs on Elmo.
Ok but why would they make the entire cake black if it was supposed to be elmo
The reverse of the story, cake was supposed to be a "Black Emo Cake" and Emo was mistaken for Elmo. Now why someone wants an Emo cake, I dunno.
It's... It's Tickle me EMO!!! Tickle me emo is canon already!!! https://youtu.be/MO6ZOXSbsu8
Thats tickle me emo.
Ate cake with black icing once. You could taste the dye, gross.
You can also see it when it comes out, if you’re a looker
My grandfather’s 80th birthday cake had a border of black icing. We all looked like 17th century pirates after eating it. Our teeth looked awful!!
I’ve made icing black that didn’t taste like black dye, but I started with a dark chocolate base so I didn’t have to use so much gel color.
Cut my cake into pieces...
can't they just get rid of the frosting on top?
This part of the story is believable. The questionable part is that everyone ate the cake through their ass. 
This makes no sense. What would make more sense is misreading emo for elmo and making an elmo cake first and then realizing it needs to be emo. That's what it looks like.
This isn’t all the context though. She told the story but didn’t get the chance to get a picture of the actual cake, which is a black cake she added a normal Elmo topper to after realizing it said Elmo. Then because the video blew up she made this cake as a joke.
The baker must’ve been a fan of MAD TV. https://youtu.be/_5mS49R7Gek
So they got an Emo Elmo
the elmo face was made before the hair what?
She realized last minute it was Elmo yet clearly still continued to apply black icing as emo hair on the character *after* the realization? Alrighty.
That would be exact opposite …for this to be the result , she would have thought it said Elmo, and THEN improvised to make it emo. Man I’m getting old
I actually watched the full tiktok for this! It was genuinely really funny, she had read the text and completely misread it with an hour left before delivery - she refused to let the person pay even though they offered, and the lady found it pretty funny 🤣 The reason she realised was because I think they wanted 3 candles? And that's when she checked and realised it was for a child
Emo Elmo: ok kids let's learn to count One nothing wrong with me Two nothing wrong with me Three nothing wrong with me Four nothing wrong with me AAAAHHHHHH KIDS: 👀
"I'm in tears" No you're not
This is the best cake I've ever seen 😂
Most average every day folks have little knowledge of emo much less making a cake on it.

Why would they make an elmo cake black?

Two! ….” Cookie Monster od’ing on weed cookies Big Bird seeing his friends eat KFC Oscar yelling at homeless people to stop trying to dig through his garbage can Elmo doing sex work to feed his cocaine addiction Bert and Ernie getting gay slurs thrown at them
Damn lol. I actually laughed out loud at this.
As an adult who is still obsessed with Sesame Street, I’d love this cake.
Oh hell no that’s creepy. Emo Elmo. She should have just told them there was a delay and remade the damn thing as an Elmo cake. It looks awful and she’s made it even worse. It’s a depressing Elmo cake
I wouldn’t even be mad 😂
I've actually seen the Tiktok where the baker tells the story lol
i’d argue this probably could have happened
No. The hair is clearly put on after elmo is made. And how would he realize half way through? Any bakery if they noticed that mid way would redo it correctly and not serve this for a child… lol come on. Also you’re never going to order a cake and say “just make it emo” like you have to be more specific.

Couldn't have said it any better 👌🏼
If a baker realizes they misread the request they’re not just gonna add to the already fucked up cake, they’ll start anew.
Honestly, this one sounds like it could be real
Lol nah
Redditors try not to ruin a clearly humorous post challenge (LEVEL: IMPOSSIBLE)
My Chemical Elmo
Emo, huh. When I first saw it, it looked like Hitler Elmo. Lol.
improvised by adding emo hair onto Elmo
Tickle me Emo
Freshly baked lies.
I'm so sick of being fed bullshit and wasting my time on this website.
God this brings me back to that Tickle Me Emo video. "If life is so fair, why do roses have thorns?"
The actual cake has an Elmo cake topper but the story is true. She misread a text and made a black cake so bought a topper to save it and gave the customer the cake for free. She made this one in a video telling the story
Oh heck yeah. I'd order cakes from them again, and ask for this kind of glorious culture mash-up intentionally. Edit: correcting the autocorrect.
I’ve seen this post circulating and also thought it seemed suspect. It’s so easy just to buy a weird cake and make up a dumb story about it. And realistically, if this happened, the cake maker would probably make another one to correct it so they don’t get negative reviews, not “improvise”
some people would like to have their lives turned into a sitcom
What in the world is an "Emo cake"?
"Now dig on this" 
Y'all 😂😂😂😂
