Romney's 'Assault' Attack Contradicts Former Stance
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."

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!

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.

My husband and I got married 31 years ago. My father didn't approve and wouldn't come to or pay for the wedding. We were both privates in the Army and penniless, but we still managed to put together and pay for our own wedding, which was kind of a potluck/volunteer affair. One of our friends took photos, my best friend and only attendant wore the dress she had worn at her sister's wedding, a friend of mine loaned me all her wedding stuff (champagne glasses, ring pillow, fold-out paper wedding bells - remember those) and all our friends brought food and drinks instead of presents. We danced all night to records that my husband's friend played and his wife made the cake. She asked me what my "wedding colors" were, and so I called my maid-of-honor and asked her what color the dress was that she wore in her sister's wedding. She said it was peach-colored, so I told the cake baker lady that "my wedding colors were peach" and she made the cake. Evidently she put a little too much food coloring in the frosting, because the overall cake was a great big, three-tier, YELLOW heart-shaped cake, with ORANGE trim and lettering. It was really an odd-looking mess, but delicious and made with love - and here we are 31 years later, so I guess what the cake looks like doesn't matter.

you are fortunate to have so many caring friends. you are right, if it were a gift to you and made with love, who cares what it looks like. my husband and i had to pay our own wedding 90 people at a nice place. for us, we worked two jobs - 20 years ago to pay it. our situation was, we thought we were saving to buy a house as our parents were going to pay the wedding but in the end, nobody paid the bill so they shot their mouths off and we paid the bill. we too were broke so i share your pain there. our cake was done by the restaurant and not our choice as i wanted the staircase cake with the figures. i had to make my topper for the cake as i did ceramics and it didn't come out great with the haircolor but we still love each other 20 years later. wish we knew then what we know now about life. thanks for sharing, it was a cute story. i assume you are happy - congrats on 31 years.
