You know we love sweets, but there are just some desserts out there that even we can turn down. We've shown you our cake-mess finds in the past, which we found out about through the genius blog CakeWrecks. In fact, that site's founder/writer/scary-cake hunter Jennifer Yates just released an entire book, "Cake Wrecks: When Professional Cakes Go Horribly Wrong," showcasing what happens when baked goods go bad.Here, a few confectionary catastrophes from the book, plus a few we found on our own. Got a Cake Wreck to share? Send it to us -- we may feature it on Lemondrop!

When this Moscow restaurant wanted to make a standout dessert, the multiple tiers just wouldn't do. Instead a cake shaped as Russian revolutionary leader Vladimir Ilyich Lenin on his deathbed best suited this occasion.

Nothing could ruin their holiday. Not even a cake that clearly reads "Merry Christmis."

I have always been very afraid of aging, you know, becoming old and useless and unattractive. When I turned 50, I decided to do something about it. I've spent fortunes on face creams and anti-aging serums… but using GenFX is the first time I've tried turning back the clock from the inside out. It's also the last time I'll spend a fortune on face creams! Now everyone says I look 35! Http://www.antiaginggenfx.com

When my husband turned 30, I ordered a cake to read "Get down, get dirty, look who's 30" from a local cake decorator that was getting on in age. Apparently, what I told her and what she heard did not translate cause when I got the cake it read "Get Bound get Dirty Look who's 30." Man, she must have thought that we were a wild bunch of partiers!! She was such a sweet older lady that I didn't have the heart to tell her. The guests all had a good laugh though!

If you're going to order a cake from immigrants, make sure they spell everything right. If you're writing on the cake yourself, make sure to find someone smart enough to help you with it.
The scariest part of all? That these people probably graduated from high school. That's our great public school system for you!

When the parents sit the kids in front of videos in cars, get them cell phones at 7, text them in class, give them video games, dress them like adult dolls, allow them to scream in stores, buy them whatever they want because they don't want to feel guilty, give them "time outs" , don't monitor the computer usage at 1-2 am, allow parties in the house so that they won't drink "outside", refuse to "invade" their kids privacy by looking in their rooms or reading diaries and buy them McDonald's for dinner so they can eat the food in front of a tv screen, just to name a few, spelling on a cake is the least of the problems. Don't blame it on the schools-- blame the parents---when I get them in high school English, they are already done for. They are taught to bubble for a statewide exam from the time they are 5 and are never taught to think-- ever-- or to problem solve-- any idea what it's like to try and change the way a kid thinks? The "standards" have been lowered no matter what the numbers say and we have reduced kids to data--We should be getting them to use imagination and contemplate ( dare I say practice?) real values like not cheating or copying. That's the parent's job-- eat dinner with them, folks-- take away the cells or limit usage-( they don't make kids safer no matter what you think-- they lie about where they are-- and get around every issue-- there's your problem solving for you)- let them think-- or, consider what it will be like when we are old and these same self centered, vapid replica's of their parents will be giving YOU medication when you are old. How many cc's of Demerol?

I hate to say it but you are right. I am going back to school to become a teacher and I was an English major in college. It amazes me how many people don't know how to do basic math, write words that you should know in the third grade, and how many college students can't even write a decent essay! Bare in mind, these are not students where English was a second language or "special needs" people.

Sad to say but alot of public schools do suck. we lived in Los Angeles, Ca and the teachers will try to fight you all because you want to hand your child his back pack. i cant tell you how many times i had to go to the school district to get something done. alot of bad apples out there. but now we live in Ma and i cant tell you how happy i am with the public schools out here I LOVE THEM!!!!
I will never move back to Ca, never.... and it takes more then one person to change whats wrong dont be dumb and dont walk around blind by saying nothing is wrong thats the problem...

I am a cake decorator and some of these cakes don't look bad.. some people don't realize others take the orders and we follow them. We have alot of cakes to do so we just write what we see sometimes. Yea sometimes we should defiantly double check lol. And sometimes people are really detailed about there cakes even if it sounds weird on colors or such then when they get it and actually see it they say its not what they ordered... when it comes to cakes and people you can never satisfy.

And to top it all off, they will probably sprinkle apostrophes around like confetti! (Note it was NOT apostrophe's, that would be possessive instead of plural) My pet peeve!

I guess the one about the weeding could have also meant that she's successfully weeded out all the guys who weren't worthy of her :)

I'm a Cake Decorator, & none of MY cakes are shown there. But I have seen nightmare cakes done by other people who are NOT Cake Decorators, but CLAIM they know how to decorate cakes.
P.S. Don't ever let your mom ruin your wedding by letting her save you some money by making the wedding herself for you!!
The only cakes in that article that look like they were done by professional Cake Decorators are the Lifesized Bride Wedding Cake, & the corpes on his deathbed cake.
All the others look like someone did them at home. The cakes with the photos on them are print outs of photos on thin dried sheets of fondant.
