77 Wedding Cakes That Only Made The Big Day Worse

To many guests, the most important part of the wedding is the cake. The location, the decor, the bride's dress, all of these things are important, but they are to be admired. The cake, however, is to be enjoyed.

Unless the newlyweds served one that's made out of ground meat. Or the baker got sick and asked his cat to finish the job.

Bored Panda decided to compile a list of terrible wedding cake fails and turns out the Internet is abundant with them. Whether someone really messed up in the process of bringing it to the table or something really unfortunate — for example, a sandstorm — we included them all. Bon appétit.

#5 Cake Baker Probably Didn't See The Bride Before Making The Cake. Or Any Other Human Being, In Fact

#6 That Does Not Look Like A Sand Castle

My sister-in-law had a beach destination wedding in Mexico, and decided that she loved this sand castle cake. Upon speaking with the baker, she explained that she understood that the baker may not be able to recreate the cake exactly, but would be happy with something similar. The baker insisted that she could make a cake as equally beautiful. They agreed that the cake would be 3 tiers, with the sand castle on the top. On the wedding day, she instead got 3 separate tiers, each topped with its own version of a flesh colored sand castle.

#22 Castle Tower Wedding Cake

I met with a baker for flavors and everything was great. We agreed on flavors and design (left). The end result was that the baker I hired showed up with my cake later than she stated. When I saw it, it looked like the photo on the right. People asked if we were going to circumcise our cake. The cake was cracked, falling over, and did not have the flavors we asked for so the taste was unknown.

#75 Wedding Cake. Homemade By The Groom’s Mother

The venue they got married at is capable of providing professionally made cakes, but I guess this was the groom’s mother’s kind gesture for their wedding. From what I understand, making a wedding cake is a different process than a homemade cake.

The cake eventually fell over not too long after this… sadly I didn’t get a photo as it already went out.
