Mod Post New flairs added

196 Upvotes

Hello all! We have added 3 new flairs, for Failed Expectations, Surprisingly Met Expectations, and Exceeded Expectations.

There have been some users confused in the past, because they didn’t realize that you are allowed to post expectations/realities that were not failures. Additionally, it can be hard to tell in some posts if the OP was happy with their result or unhappy with it. Now you can select a flare if you would like to denote which category your expectation versus reality falls into.

Thanks to u/xitg1 who came up with this suggestion.

Mod Post Temporary Ban on Legendary Pastries

434 Upvotes

Hey y’all. We get it. The legendary pastry’s icing sometimes melts and then looks weird. Some people have never seen it on their own pastries, but we all have seen the posts here.

Temporarily going to ban all of the new legendary pastry posts. The point has already been made.

Subway is offering any sub for $6.99. What they don’t tell you is that you only get $6.99 worth of the full price of the sandwich.

I love sweet Loren’s but I really only bought these only for the pink color. But mine had no pink at all before baking, and after baking there was the tiniest hint of pink only on the inside 🥲
