In "My Favorite Things" category - I have found a new favorite website. I go there when I want to cry.....cry from laughing that is. This chick started a blog where people could send in pictures of professional cakes gone awry. We have all had them. I ordered my Sister in law, Maren, a baby shower cake that was supposed to have a moon and stars theme. The cake was supposed to be of a baby slumbering on a cloud. Instead, when I picked up the cake - I discovered that they had decorated it as a 40 year old Mexican, with black hair and eyebrows laying on a cloud.Several cakes I have ordered for Tommy T's office have gone south. For instance - don't ever order a cake over the phone from Walmart. Don't do it. Or the cake will literally say,

If any of you have a warped sense of humor like me, I highly recommend this site. Check out the archives. Beautiful! I have given you a small sampling below.

CAKE DECORATOR'S "INTERPRETATION" OF PICTURE
And my all time favorite......
in her hilarious words....
"Not all Cake Wrecks are a result of poor construction, as you can see from this example. Some cake artists just seem to forget that, at the end of the day, their creation is meant to be eaten. Can you seriously imagine being told to slice up and serve this cake?And baby shower cakes seem to be the worst offenders in this vein. People, try to think outside the box, will you? Just because the occasion has "baby" in the name doesn't mean the cake has to BE a baby, mmkay? You don't see bridal shower cakes made to look like the bride, do you? Oh, wait - scratch that example...But getting back to this cake - I think the worst part is that the baby is staring at me. No, really - check out the right eye. [shudder] Dang, that would be spine-tingling even if it were a real baby, you know? (And can you imagine being the person who gets served that eye? Eeeek- I'm going to give myself nightmares.) Call me finicky, but I really can't eat anything that looks like its looking at me."

I would SO eat that baby cake...look at ALL that fondant! Who cares if it's staring at me or if it looks like one of those cardboard photos with the hole cut out of the face...with a 50 year old hispanic man peeking through? YUM! I wonder if it's chocolate...one thing mexico does NOT do well is dessert....maybe he's Greek...baklava anyone?
ReplyDeleteon second thought...that hand DOES look like someone cut it off a baby and frosted it to the cake.
ReplyDeleteLove this website!
Oh, man...not something I wanted to see this early in the morning while sitting in the dark waiting for Colin to get ready for Seminary! This is creepy. I couldn't eat one small portion of it. It looks like some withered mummy baby, and yes, it's staring at me! I need to turn the lights on, and like Maren, find my happy place. And my editor brain can't wrap itself around the other cakes, either...
