'Thak you': 25 Seriously silly cakes made by pros and amateurs
We've all burnt a cake or dropped some cupcakes on the floor, but we've never botched a cake as bad as some of these professional bakers.
Before we start roasting these cakes, let's take a moment to comment on the types of "bad" cakes. In general, I think that almost any homemade cake that looks "bad" is actually really cute. The people sharing these photos are often parents or partners who want the perfect dessert for their loved one. They try hard, but they're not experts, and the results are silly and charming.
However. Bakers who sell a product that looks terrible? You get no forgiveness. That means that a family came to you with an idea and an expectation that they'd get $50-$75 worth of beautiful cake to show off on the birthday person's big day. To then mangle the cake either with slopping handwriting, misspellings, or misunderstandings leaves a lot of people royally irritated. For all those below who paid for botched cakes, I hope y'all got your refunds. And for all the home bakers, keep on making the best-worst cakes we've ever seen! (Except that one person with the nightmare-inducing hedgehog cake… you knock it off.)
Next up, the internet is split over the etiquette of picking up a used cabinet.

...This person then tried to fix the cake themselves
It actually fits "The Walking Dead" theme better than the bakery's botched version! They're a great parent for trying so hard to get the birthday cake right for their kiddo.

How can a font manage to look so dismissive?
The texture on the cake looks like a paper towel was laid on it.

This is a very beautiful fail. Avant garde. 11/10, j'adore.
The poster writes that ,"It was made fresh and then they told us to be very careful bringing it home, I'm guessing the caramel was still not set and the short walk home did this."

What a disaster
"My SIL asked for M&Ms on the sides of the cake," explains the poster. "She was so annoyed that the red icing was pink and thought they forgot about the M&Ms that she just left with it. She didn't notice they WROTE M&Ms on sides of the trim until it was time to serve it lol." What a mess! I hope they got their money back, because who could ever make that M&M mistake?
