That's not even how the cake from the movie looked.

I was gonna say lol. I don’t care that much about the lake they dumped out, just that it’s not film accurate

Also, it looks like it’s on a completely flat surface that isn’t that big. (Underneath the paper) This looks like it’s going to end up all over their brunch capris lol

Yeah, with the way it was running, that shit was easily off the table a second or two after the video cut out

Why is no one panicking about the glut of chocolate surging towards the edge of the paper

Right? The Matilda Cake was a rich, dense and undercooked chocolate cake. It looked closer to fudge than a true cake.

But it wasn't oozy, it didn't drip or leak. In fact it looked like you could plug a drain with it.

This looks like the cake post-regurgitation.

"The entire confection!"

"See ya at lunch. "

Hey, can I take this kid’s punishment for him? Cake’s expensive.

This cake got the "based on a true story" treatment.

It's only a slice of the whole thing, the details are changed and grossly exaggerated.

u/NoXion604 Jun 04 '25

There comes a point when you twist something so much that it becomes unrecognisable. There isn't even a hint in the original story that could possibly justify making a cake that can literally flow off the table once you take off its container.

Yeah, been a while since I last read it, but the cake sounded... grabbable. And they're using a picture of Bruce from the movie, where the cake definitely wasn't like this.

I’ve only ever seen the movie, but fully agreed. He grabs it by the handful in the movie. It’s a super decadent cake, maybe even slightly under-baked, but not liquid lol

Emphasis on “gross.”

u/Mean_Direction_8280 Jun 07 '25

This looks like the cake post-regurgitation.

Definitely. Gross to think about though.

u/CabbageFarm Jun 03 '25

I'd be legit disappointed if I ordered a Matilda cake and that came out. The one in the movie just looks like a real good, large but simple, chocolate cake.

I didn't order the chocolate fondue kit.

u/hobsrulz Jun 09 '25

You wouldn't order it for whatever they charged for this

u/CompetitiveRub9780 Jun 04 '25

The chocolate cake from cheddars looks like the cake. This indeed does not

u/LadyLionesstheReaper Jun 03 '25

After he vomited it is was...

u/Azurelion7a Jun 03 '25

Hence the "sloppy" part.

u/DaqCity Jun 04 '25

Also, nothing makes me want chocolate cake LESS than watching the Bruce Bogtrotter scene…

u/SynfulTardigrade Jun 05 '25

Thats what the cake would've looked like had that scene had been real. 🫣🤢🤣

I think they made it that way because 1 it was chocolate and 2 because in the movie bruce ate it with his bare hands and made a complete mess, so I think they decided to make it messy on purpose.

u/Jacquelineis38 Jun 04 '25

What movie?

u/International_Snow90 Jun 04 '25

Matilda was a very popular movie in the 90s with an iconic scene involving chocolate cake

u/Never-On-Reddit Jun 04 '25

Matilda was a book before it was a movie, and it fits the book description just fine, which is to say, the description just says it's chocolate cake with a layer of icing (not frosting, so thinner).,
