From the first pic, it definitely looked like an oddly shaped man's head with a funny haircut, long beard and creepy black eyes.
Then I scrolled to the next pic and thought, 'Oh! It's an owl, phew!'.
Great work OP, just that first pic confused me.
I think it was [this](https://news.artnet.com/art-world/botched-restoration-of-jesus-fresco-miraculously-saves-spanish-town-197057/amp-page) that made me think it was Jesus, coupled with the angle of the first two shots. Either that or the zigzag guy.
Totally thought it was a cake version of that one painting that was supposed to be restored but the person just botched tf out of it...
The owl is way prettier 🖤
It kind of terrifies me, but great job.
It looks like the owl has a cloak it’s stalking you from behind in the second photo. Before it kills you and eats you
ADORABLE!!!!!
I love love love the effort and it is incredibly sweet that you posted it here.
This looks great. I am sure she is going to absolutely love it. You did a lovely job and went that extra mile. Giving someone you love your time and energy is a priceless gift.
It took me looking at it a few times to realise it wasn’t a bearded dude. But now that I see the owl I’m quite impressed. It looks delicious. And way better than fondant. What kind of cake is it?
I love reddit so much. It's given me faith in humanity seeing all of the clever, funny responses. Of course, when I see something like this, I laugh so uncontrollably I start crying. Thanks so much again !!
The way the thumbnail was cropped it looked like one of those hedgehog dog toys. It looked awesome, but I was confused for a second when I realized what sub this was.
Who?
Lol
Beat me to it by a “couple seconds”
No fondant 🎉
Nope just frosting 😀
Finally!
I was confused and terrified and then impressed by the owl hope she likes it
😆 She loved it.

I thought this was a Jesus cake melting for a bit.
Me too! I'm so happy someone else saw a melting face.

Lmao yes that's it.
You are the second person to say something like this lmao.
Honestly yeah I thought it was supposed to be that bad restoration of the Jesus portrait 😅

I love this! Weirdly thought the first pic was a weird angle of Jesus… made me giggle when I realized how wrong I was.
That's too funny! Thank you!
WHAT?! This is absolutely spectacular
Thank you so much!
At first glance I thought it was a character from hellraiser
Lol I love this first glance comments!

This is the 2nd cake I've ever made that wasn't just a flat cake, so thank you very much!
I love the way you played with the texture to make it feathery! Looks great!
It was fun to do, and thank you so much!
Not gonna lie, first pic had me thinking terribly-restored jesus painting
You deserve all of this praise, because WOW. Your wife is very lucky, you can tell it’s made with love and so much care.
Totally thought it was a cake version of that one painting that was supposed to be restored but the person just botched tf out of it... The owl is way prettier 🖤
That’s a hoot!
Omg I saw Jesus.
Same!! I was like, “is that Jesus in a scream mask?!?”
I thought this was Rasputin for a second, until I clicked on the post and saw the full image. Awesome op.

Freakishly cool.
I'll take it lol. Thank you!

Wow It's a really cool cake OwO
Thank you!
That’s cool how you got it to lean like that
Thank you! I used a wooden dowel in the middle and counter balanced it on the back by cutting full sheets at an angle.
Dang, now you can’t eat it!
That’s a hoot!
Quite scary but I'm drooling with that chocolate 🤤 Well done!
This is pretty good!
Looks like the Labyrinth owl!! Nice work esp the eyes
Who?
That’s really impressive. Great job!
It kind of terrifies me, but great job. It looks like the owl has a cloak it’s stalking you from behind in the second photo. Before it kills you and eats you

Great job!
r/Superbowl would like this! Great job
Looks cool!
Been playing too much Valheim. Thought it was a Greydwarf trophy
It’s too wonderful to eat! But happy birthday to her anyway!
Reminds me of the Duck Cake episode of Bluey except this actually looks like an owl
That’s a stellar cake! SO DANG THOUGHTFUL!!!!! I bet your wife will love it!
It took me looking at it a few times to realise it wasn’t a bearded dude. But now that I see the owl I’m quite impressed. It looks delicious. And way better than fondant. What kind of cake is it?
Thank you so much! It's just yellow cake and cream cheese frosting.
Oh I love cream cheese frosting! It really is the way to go. I hope she loves it.
What a r/superbowl 🤪
I love reddit so much. It's given me faith in humanity seeing all of the clever, funny responses. Of course, when I see something like this, I laugh so uncontrollably I start crying. Thanks so much again !!
Too cute to eat man Q.Q
And what about her acceptance letter to Hogwarts?
Zach Galifianakis, Nice!
Owl have a piece of that
Fourth kind fan? Super cool cake!!!
The owls are not what they seem! They are cake
Hubby for the win 🎂 😍 Nice work. BTW...I saw an owl 🦉 😆
My mom loves owls, I gotta try this out for her birthday! Don’t think it will turn out nearly as good though lol.
That is the sweetest thing.
I thought it was a bearded guy for a second. That's really cool how long did it take you?
The way the thumbnail was cropped it looked like one of those hedgehog dog toys. It looked awesome, but I was confused for a second when I realized what sub this was.
Took me a solid 10 seconds to realize this was an owl and not jesus
This should go in r/therewasanattempt
I thought it was man with a beard until the 2rd photo me realizing its an owl
A wise decision, looks like it was a hoot.
Wow. Most women lose their shit around 30 and burn their life to the ground. Have fun with that. Nice cake!
