So, late last year I bought one of these cuties from Dearie because I had a 20% discount code.
I needed more loliable accessories in my life since I’d bought my first sweet print that was covered in desserts- Melty Donut whatever the fuck.
So, a few months had passed, after the last time I wore it I sat it on my bureau and there it sat for a few weeks. Maybe it was the change in temperatures or humidity or whatever but… it cracked.
I was peeved, but I paid about 10$ for it and I figured I could glue it and as I went to do so I found… crumbs. Flaky doughy bits that were very unlike paper clay or any other deco medium I was familiar with. It’d gotten soft the way that graham crackers do when they do stale.
This is when I began to wonder if I paid 10$ for an acrylic glazed cookie with a bow glued to it.
I sat it on my desk and went about my day but it’s left a prickling feeling at the back of my neck. I was laying in bed half asleep until a few minutes ago but my anxieties have finally pushed me.
I could either try to glue it together and fix it or force the crack more and reveal it’s secrets…
For one thing, for all my searching I can’t find a mold for a Marie biscuit but I can find the biscuits themselves for as low as 2.99.
Well, this is a just a tiny disturbing and particularly hilarious

So Lauren of Dearie contacted me after seeing this post and also posted on the Dearie FB page here: https://www.facebook.com/dearielove/posts/677579492328520
offering replacement brooches with a more durable glaze.
This is a really refreshing thing to see from an online seller. While I didn’t have any hard feelings about the product’s malfunction it’s a great customer service move.
