The singing was a little off-key I think...first cake for an Oompah Loompah wedding???
I would so love that first cake if it were done well!
But, alas...
Maybe Joe Cocker was the baker?
WV: hurie
Hurie up and cut me a slice of that cakewreck!
Someone please explain the BBQ layer in the last cake. Please!
Joe cocker and the cakes. Goes together like rye and coke...
That first and second one could ahve been so pretty...could have been...
Are those doves sitting on a pile of green poop?
WV: Pottei: The doves just couldn't get to the pottei in time.
to add insult to injury...the sprigs of flora in the dove cake is caspia which is nicknamed cats-pee due its very distinct odor
Cindi
*speechless*
The dove cake appears to have sprinkles, or is it just glitter? I hope it's edible!
And the last cake, does it really have jalepenos stuck to the side?
Crimeny! Love the singing, now I've got that song stuck in my head.
That last cake reminds me of that gross "olive loaf" lunchmeat.
To the happy couple!

Wow. That first cake is just too much orange. And that's coming from a girl living at the home of the UT Vols, Knoxville, TN - otherwise known as Big Orange Country.
When am I going to learn not to have anything in my mouth when I read your entries?
I just swallowed a giant hunk of banana so I wouldn't inhale it into my lungs.
XD
wv: "Facki". What you yell when swallowing a banana and reading cake wrecks. Also, "oh my facking god, I almost choked on a banana!"
is it weird that the singing was voiced like William Shatner?
Also i physically grimaced at the 4th cake
VW- Fooldema - when someone had cotton in their mouth and tries to say "fooled them all"
Ooooooh now I've got The Wedding Singer movie in my head! You know...the one guy (Jimmie Moore) that was singing Ladies' Night?
"Well, good luck trying to find a DJ who can move and shake like THIS!"
And those cakes are just as bad!
wv: sumat: A mat for Sumo wrestlers.
You think I would have learned by now that I shouldn't check this blog while eating.
You would think.
Stellar work as always, CW Crew! One of those cakes looked like it had blue/green worms on it. EWWWWWW!
WV: pimpul
I broke out into pimpuls just looking at these cakes!
I've just lost my appetite. Blah! And it wasn't from the singing - believe me - that was the best part! ;)
the first one didnt look too bad...but the rest hilarious :)
(and NO daiseys)
I laughed so hard, I have nothing to say.
I'm also struck speechless by the fact that, as I type, Sandra Lee (New York's First Live-in-Lover) is being interviewed on a Public Radio show I listen to. She is hosting a bake sale at Grand Central Station tomorrow. I'm hoping to find the Easter equivalent of The Kwanza Cake. The sale is for a very good cause and I'm willing to pay anything. So it's a win-win.
I think my eyes might be bleeding. Those poor brides.
I dunno, I kind of like that first cake. It's got a certain radioactive glow to it.
This totally reminds me of Lorne, Krevlornswath of the Deathwok Clan from Angel singing in that cursed casino. sigh.
lovin that patriotic dove cake ha ha ha
This is the commentary from my four year old as I scrolled down the post:
Cake 1 : "It looks like a present."
Cake 2: "It looks like flowers."
Cake 3 : "Ooo it's pretty. I like it."
Cake 4 : "It looks like parrot."
Cake 5: "A snowflake."
Cake 6 : "A hat."
Those are some 'fail' cakes!
Is that Olives or Jalapenos on that last cake?!? Gross!
I have a serious question. Do people really pay for such effed up cakes? When (hopefully) it clearly looks like nothing anyone would purposefully order.
At first I didn't think these were very "wrecky," given the standards for disaster on this blog...but the fact that these are wedding cakes changes the game. I mean, a glowing orange cake is acceptable at a frat-house Halloween party, and grimace-worthy colored sugar is unavoidable at Uncle Matt's 4th of July, but at a wedding? No good.
Yesterday, my husband and I were talking about how the cakes were so gorgeous that we wouldn't want to eat them because we wouldn't want to cut into them. Today, I just wouldn't want to eat any of these cakes.
Wow. That post just put me off cake indefinitely.
Cakes as slimy as the lounge lizard singing for them.
Great total, multi-media presentation to get the week started. Ugh.
That last one is terrifying! I always wonder if these are the weddings where people remember they are on a diet and don't eat cake.
did that last cake have PICKLES stuck all over it?
I just read this commentary a la Nick the Lounge Singer from the old Saturday Night Live skits with Bill Murray. It made it that much better. In regards to these cakes, I have no words.
See...this just goes to show that beauty really IS in the eye of the beholder...along with some dust or something, too.... I vote for olives on the last cake, which is absolutely nauseating...to MEEEEE.
wv - oubse: Oh, you didn't want olives on your cake...oubse....
Some of the cakes would have been pretty if they had better bakers.
I didn't even notice the green olives/pickles/snotballs stuck to the last cake because I was too busy trying to figure out what the heck that red thing was, sort of holding up the top layer. ????
All I could say was "Oh my god..." These are probably the worst cakes I've ever seen. The dove one is especially heinous. Sad!
I'm getting married in October. One of my biggest fears is ending up with a cake that looks like one of these. I'm very afraid.
Oh dear...people actually served these at weddings? Glad I wasn't a guest.
That last one was really, really bad. Really.
Tip you waitress, but not the baker.
I'm late to the game... so maybe someone else has already said this... but at first glance... I really, really thought that last cake was made from marshmallow peeps. Yellow bunnies and pink chicks to be exact.
dang, now that song will be in my head all day. And I think I saw some of my ear worms on those cakes!
I just can't shake the impression that the whole dove cake is made of styrofoam, even the blue and pink layers.
Had to make that last cake larger. Didn't know if it was pickles or condoms.
wv - trubing
That's the trubing with Tribbles

dear heavens. Those are olives and BBQ chips aren't they?
I think I've got the vapors. (faints.)

Dear anonymous at 9:36am,
This cake has been infected with a radical case of flesh eating bacteria.
Fearful of doctors, this cake suffered in silence for over two months until the pain became too much. Determined to save the important "Pogo Layer" surgeons immediately set to work.
What you see here is the first stage of the epidermal grafting in which the initial ring of Skittles was being re-attached.
Painful, challenging and extensive, this process will continue for several years in order to adhere a functional protective barrier from the elements. During this process, the cake is highly susceptible to infection and illness including Forktoyapperosis, Gettinmuhbelliasis, and Haveitafterdinnya.
After the grueling procedures, this cake will still require plastic surgery to regain a normal, healthy appearance. The process will span over the next several years.
Let this be a lesson to all: Do not wait to go to the doctor. It could really fork you up.
LOVED this. :)
And you are absolutely CERTAIN that all of these were 'professional' cakes? That people were expected to fork over real money for? [Yes, snowflake cake, I'm especially looking at you]
Did someone ask for Cheeto-dust orange? Maybe they did, maybe they didn't... and I'm not accounting for a taste for doves with red and blue sparkles,
But the bridal couple i feel sorry for is #3. That would have been SO pretty if ... if.... it might even taste good. It looks like pound cakes stacked on top of each other.... but ... *breaks down in tears*
Then the final cake broke through my shock and I reeled away in horror. What IS it?
WV: ocanidec: OcanIdec-orate your cake better than these poor souls? (No. I can barely frost cupcakes.)
Maybe it's just me, but I didn't think the first one was that bad. Besides, isn't ORANGE your favorite color?? ;)
Ok, I don't think it's ever happened before, but my jaw actually dropped open on that last one. Jeez, the pain.
These are so horrible. I would not have served them to my teenage sons on a Thursday night when dad was out of town, much less had the temerity to ask money for any one of these and expect it to be served in public at at wedding! I am about to lose my cookies!
WV: ressiven, as in "Hey baker, you won't be ressiven ANY money for this monstrosity of a cake!"
Horribly nauseating cakes aside, was I the ONLY one who thought of The Little Rascals while reading this? I couldn't stop imagining little Alfalfa singing this to Darla in that rowboat. So cute! The cakes... not so much. Though I admit, that first one had potential if it didn't have that "bad spray on tan" orange look.

Is wondering if the person that took the photos were proud of the cake or was secretly proud because they knew it was going to be cake wrecks?
HAHA this post had me laughing out loud in the most literal sense. The cakes were wrecky as usual, but the writing just cracked me up.. I could just picture it happening! [Although at first I thought it was Jen writing, which made it another level of funny]. LOVE the website, don't stop!
Horrors!
I just about died laughing at these-jeepers. I mean, wow. Just. wow.
#1 Looks like someone has an 'orange crush'. [chirp] Thank you. I guess the drummer is on break. Wasn't that singing great?
#2 The kids have been wanting to do this since they were three (which was last year), so I said, "go ahead." After all, how bad could it be? What do you mean, 'now you know'?!
#3 Looks like the wreckerator's inspiration was behind and to the left.
#4 I would ask what the dove on the left is doing, but it seems fairly obvious: making this cake.
#5 Sandra Lee strikes again.
#6 I sincerely hope I'm wrong, but I see potato salad (Texas style, with mustard), ham slices, BBQ ribs, olives and either jalapeno or pickle slices. I wouldn't begin to guess what's inside. I just hope too much time didn't elapse before serving. This is not a cake, repeat, this is not a cake! Take cover immediately!
The first cake would be pretty in a better color I think.
I'm here daily to check out the cake wrecks but have never commented. Today's post, however, had me laughing SO HARD that my dogs were looking at me like I'd lost my mind. LOL LOVE IT!!!
I just appreciate so much the fact that you post them from bad to worse to much worse.....makes the experience THAT much better! by the time I get to the last of the day, I am literally crying from laughing so hard(maybe just crying because the cakes are SO BAD!!)....
The only rhing that could have redeemed the snowflake cake is if it had been ninja stars instead.
awesome post today!
That first cake looks like someone loaded Tang into the airbrush and went to town...
UM, IS THAT AN EGG SALAD WITH OLIVES SLICE CAKE IN THE LAST PIC???
Just found this in HuffPost- thought it might interest you, in an International sort of way-they say that the hippest place in Europe is Berlin..

That first cake is like someone had ordered a wedding cake with orange accents or an orange foundation and either no one read that instruction before they began laying the fondant or they went waaaaaaaaay beyond "accenting" it.
Every time I see a post like this I think "these cannot be professional bakers, right?" Isn't that a CW requirement? Say it isn't so.
LMAO - so lame. I can't believe a baker/wreakator would have the nerve to deliver these and expect payment.
Sad, but that first one actually had potential ..........Until they added flowers and orange airbrushing. What rhymes with orange?...?
WV: galicin - a new topical cream helpful in ridding me of the hives I break out in when viewing cakes of this caliber.
I didn't know pigeons pooped in those colors....
All horrible. My 4 year old took a look at these and said "why would somebody DO that?"
There are no words to describe the expression on my face.
wv: ingur: Who on earth would ingur such wrath in cake form?
I had to look twice.. at that last cake. At first glance those rose petals? looked like they might have been Peeps.
I'm dying to know... what is wv? I mean, it's definitely not West Virginia.
The last cake might just have ensured that I never eat cake again.
If uncle Carl hadn't escaped from the mental facility and got a hold of the air brush machine, the first cake would have been quite lovely.
Niiiice to see an EF3!!! Forget the tornado rating scale "EF". We're talking Epic Fail rating scale. EF0= Epic Fail not so bad. EF5= Epic Fail what the H3ll??? And I really like the orange one. Reminds me of all the retreating flags of UT after they got beat down this last football season...
Every time I see cakes like these, I have to go back to my wedding pictures to make sure my cake really was as great as I thought it was.
It was.
those doves looked really nice until I rolled down to the cake.
dat
Bwahahaha! That made me laugh out loud! John you are awesome ;-) (and Jen is too of course!)
Are we SURE these were "professionally" done? I mean, if I delivered any of those to someone who paid actual money I would have died of embarrassment. Those poor brides!!
Today is Monday. It's been overcast and rainy. I was hoping for a laugh on CW and what do I get? Depression! Jen and John, how can you post such depressing pictures on a rainy Monday? I can't even imagine what some of those poor people possibly ordered to be stuck with these pathetic and depressing cakes. I will now head over to Epbot in the hopes that Megacon pics will cheer me. Oh, please don't let me down.[Fingers crossed]
How to people make this crap?
Oh my..... yup thats it.... those were bad....
I hope that was the Little Rascals version as sung by Alfalfa. Because that is exactly what I heard in my head as I read it.
That last one has to be the WORST. WEDDING. WRECK. EVER. Honestly! We should put it to a vote... anyone with me?!
I love the song choice, simply a match made in heaven!
if that first cake didn't have a spray tan, it would be really pretty.
#2 needs more mums and baby's breath. Cakes like these are better used as floral foam than food.
#3 probably looked better before they threw it against the brick wall in the background.
#5 is just plain lame.
#6. Are those capers!? And why did they let it get attacked by wild animals?
They're all ... so close to right. If I didn't have my glasses on, I'd think they were real cakes.

P.S. Randy, Steven & Jennifer would have found the singing a little pitchy but I loved the dance interlude. (And some people say men shouldn't wear tights!)
That's not a snowflake cake. That's a cake that winter ninjas were trying to put out of its (and our) misery. I think it might be Zombie Cake with Snowflake Shuriken now. ("It just won't dieeeeeee.... ieeeeee!!!!!)
~~sigh~~ These things are the reason I'm terrified of ordering a cake for my son's Eagle Court of Honor. What if I have to send it to you???
Ack! Can we go back a day to the sweets? These are gonna haunt me and not because that first one looks like a pile of melting orange sherbet lol. I love the off key singing though.. fits for this..
Aww, thanks Barbara Anne! You're too sweet :)
These cakes have me wondering what William & Kate's royal wedding cake is going to turn out like...the mischievous side of me is so hoping its some kind of cakewreck!
Oh, GO. I remember those snowflake ornaments! And are those blue snowflakes the gel ones you stick on windows?!
Disgusting...
The cakes...so disturbing!
The writing...so funny!!!!
wv: saseck. Your boozy lounge singer's attempt to request a 'sound check'.
The last cake looks like it was made with deviled eggs, complete with olives!
Blah! That last one looked, well, recycled.

WV: Diste- Diste needs some lemon.
Oh. MY.!!!
Here's a tip to bakers- if it doesn't look good before decorating it, adding more decorations won't help! YIKES!
Damn, I should've read this post yesterday! (Yesterday was stupid, and this post made me laugh. HARD.)
Trying to decide which was better: the fugly cakes, or the commentary. Maybe we'll say it was a perfect combination?
Bwa ha ha!
i somehow can imagine the story of the first one going like this:
bride (at tasting/ordering, 2 month prior to the wedding): yeah, i want a three layer cake with two square layers and a round layer on top, and i think i'm going with a classy white one - that way it can't clash with any decorations, right?
baker: what a very good choice, i will make you a pretty white cake - how about a bow on top and a few pretty flowers?
bride: alright, see you at the day of the wedding.
---------------------
bride (on the phone, the morning of the wedding day): OMG, i have just seen the reception hall, and everything is white, including the table decorations! they forgot the orange ribbons to match my bouquet and now it looks totally horrid and out of place! so, now, i need you to change my order to have my cake orange so that it matches the bouquet!
baker: i'm sorry, the cake is already made, and it is white. i can't change that now.
bride (bridezilla-mode): THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE! THE CAKE NEEDS TO BE ORANGE! DON'T YOU DARE RUIN MY DAY!!
baker: well, no, it's not possible, if i started to do the decorations all over again in another color it wouldn't be ready until tomorrow. you should have told me at least two weeks prior that you wanted to change it. it can't be done.
bride: I DON'T CARE! IF THE CAKE ISN'T ORANGE WHEN IT ARRIVES I WILL THROW IT IN YOUR FACE AND YOU WON'T GET PAID!
baker: alright, i'll make it orange then (fetches paintbrush).....
Having been reviewing this blog for a long time, I have not seen such ruinous cakes in forever. The last one actually made me say "What in the hell is THAT?" Poor, poor bride.
That first one is the Jersey Shore of cakes.. theres a lotta GTL in there
My dog is wondering why I'm sitting hear with tears in my eyes making funny sqealing noises. He just doesn't understand.
The first one I didn't think was too bad. You completely caught me off gaurd, after the first it was like getting whacked in the jaw with ugly XD
Not meaning to be a storyteller, but my aunt and uncle had that song at their wedding. I thought I was the only one who realized it's actually not a compliment at all!!! Thanks for your validation!!
And yes, those cakes are all incredibly hideous!
The singing HAS to be off-key I think. The first one might be nice if it weren't orange??? and the last one looks as if it has OLIVES all over it. My God.
At first glance, I actually thought there were jalapeños on the last one.
the last cake looks like it is made of hummus. This is much worse than the last time you did wedding wrecks. On that post, except for the duct tape one, I actually liked them. Probably means I should work for a bakery and start getting my 15 minutes of fame.

wv. Axedise -- I need to axedise discretion when deciding who to bake my cakes.
The last cake sorta looks like they've hid a spinal cord in the middle and one of the layers has peeled away to reveal the horror within
Just getting caught up on past posts. This one had me ROLLING.
John: Tell me you were channeling John Belushi when you sang this. Just tell me. I'll adopt you right here, right now.
Jen: I'd adopt you as well, but ... well ... that would make things very awkward for you and the hubster. If you got the reference, you're officially my new bff and can stay married to my newly adopted son, with my deepest mostest hearfeltest (can't have too many "ests") blessings. (Sorry. Can't take that back. What's done is done.) Speaking of which ... You never call anymore. Meh.
Please explain why that last cake has green escargot shells stuck into its sides. Yikes.
I think that last cake has jalepeno slices on it.
