Wedding Cake Tragedies.

In honor of having our first cake tasting this past Saturday (and finding our baker on the first try!), I've decided to share some of the wonderfully hilarious and tragic wedding cakes featured on Cake Wrecks. You wouldn't believe some of the cakes that either a.) people actually order or b.) cake decorators mutilate beyond belief. Seriously, some of these are downright terrible. If I ordered some of these as a bride, I'd go right past angry and straight to horrified with tears streaming down my face. Here they come:

I....I...just don't....know. The bride looks happy behind the pixels, so maybe...she wanted this?!

Oh. My. God. This looks like the baker had the flu, got sick on the cake, and then tried to fix it with a dirty shoe.

I would cry. Just cry. Then burn all the pictures. Waaaaaahhhh!!!

Time for the "Ask for THIS and get THAT" portion of the program!

One bride asked for this pretty cake that is adorned with lace and ribbon that are both edible:

"What did she get?" you ask? This cake covered in a big pile of fabric lace and ribbon:

"Oh, you mean you wanted me to use fondant to make ribbons and lace to cover the cake? Silly me."

The worst part about this was that each layer was individually covered in lace. That's right, they had to untie the ribbons and then take off one tier at a time to get all the lace off so they could cut it!

Here's a close-up.

Ask for this with red scrolly things and icing flowers:

And get this:

It looks like someone was having a seizure while decorating this cake and stuck some fruit roll-ups on top.

Ask for this:

Get this?

The only remote similarities between these two cakes is that 1. They're both black and white 2. Polka dots.

One bride asked for this really pretty damask cake:

Wanna know what she got? I don't think you do.

What the heck is that?! This would be a full out cry-time cake.

How about this fun whimsical cake? Cute, right?

Oh, no. No it is not.

Did someone order a crazy toddler birthday cake?

Sweet & Simple. How hard can that be?

Apparently very. This poor woman was in tears (and not the happy wedding kind).

How the heck does that even happen!? I'm really hoping that their cake was somehow switched with another couples' on accident and that the baker isn't really that stupid. Good Lord. (By the way, hubby looks pretty angry. I'd watch out if I were you Mr. Baker.)

At least this next one had the designs right. It was just horrible execution. Ask for this:

Get this:

This:

Oh, no.

I have no words.

Pretty fondant cake:

Horrific fondant cake:

Ok, last one. This one is easy. 3 tiers, blue circles. Yes?

No.

I hope you enjoy this post as I now begin to hyperventilate, praying this doesn't happen to me and that our cake looks like the pretty demo cakes our baker has sitting about. *deep breath in...slowly let it out* Someone please get me a brown paper bag?
