expectations vs reality

Those brutal moments when expectation meets reality. 

The top moments of the week when things didn't turn out like people expected. 

These aren't your usual 'Ace of Cakes' masterpieces. These cakes are the result of the harsh lessons learned when expectations meet a FAIL filled reality.

Let's face it, not everyone is artistically inclined. That's probably the driving force behind why things don't always end up like you expect them to when you try to copy something you see on Pinterest. 

That harsh moment where expectation meets reality. These people totally 'nailed it'.

Despite the convenience of shopping online, it can be a treacherous venture. The amount of products out there, even on trusted sites, that are exploitative, cheap, or otherwise misleading is insane. 

I myself recently ordered a kitchen garbage can on Amazon (for way too much money) and received the most tiny and useless little garbage can I've ever seen in my life. 

The moral of the story is: Always check dimensions. 

Now I'm no visually artistic person, but for some reason every damn time I come across some arts and crafts thingamajig-dodad I think to myself "Oh shit, that's easy. I bet i can make that." 

Hours later, covered in glue, glitter and random cuts and bruises and filled with deep-seated anger and shame I lay my eyes upon my creation and I can just hear it whispering... 

"Kill... me...."

These poor souls had a similar experience when they tried to get down and dirty with some crafts. The results are never what you expect.
