I put so much thought into my wedding cake and would have been devastated to see one of these show up. I wish there was a little epilogue for each one "And the bride received all her money back plus a 4-day spa package as an apology from the baker." "Not only was the bride victorious in small claims court, the judge confiscated the baker's Kitchen Aid, pans, piping bags, tips, flavorings, food coloring, fondant roller, and lazy susan." "The police made the arrest just moments before the bride walked down the aisle and the baking suspect in custody has been issued a temporary restraining order requiring that she remain at least 100 yards away from all ovens, countertops, baking supply stores, baking contests, cookbook sections in bookstores, and craft stores."Treenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-41505056661990197492010-08-12T13:46:27.846-04:002010-08-12T13:46:27.846-04:00These cakes underscore the importance of setting r...These cakes underscore the importance of setting realistic expectations.

The bride asks the baker to quote on a cake she describes or shows a picture of. The baker agrees to do it. The bride pays a deposit for the cake. A monstrosity is delivered. The bride says, "This is totally unacceptable. It looks nothing like the cake I ordered. For starters I ordered a white cake, and this is grey. I am not paying for this. I want my deposit back. And [taking out camera] this is going on Cake Wrecks."<br /><br />Maybe you take the cake, photograph it for evidence, then send a bridesmaid out for a can of spray-on whipped cream and cover the the horror in foam.<br /><br />Or you send her to Wal-Mart to find a sheet cake that doesn't have Shreck on it.Aviatrixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13634111275860140084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-22300232949122336022010-08-11T23:10:33.290-04:002010-08-11T23:10:33.290-04:00The chocolate thing looks like the decorator just ...The chocolate thing looks like the decorator just stuck some cut-rate Guylian knock-offs on top of a supermarket cake...<br /><br />The one it was "modelled" on reminds me of a Sacher cake that I bought. We were carrying it home, I was carrying it with one hand and pushing a stroller. The box was just a tiny bit too big to grip without getting a cramp. The box slipped out of my hand, flipped twice and landed upside down on the sidewalk.<br /><br />I didn't even want to look at it until we arrived home because I KNEW it was going to be a wreck.<br /><br />We opened the box, closed out eyes, and lifted the lid... The cake was completely perfect... Not a crack or crush and even the cast chocolate flowers on top were perfectly fine.<br /><br />AND the cake was delicious!Anneke (Mudhooks)http://mudpuddle.wordpress.com/2010/08/12/dinner-time/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-10529230859265663932010-08-11T22:08:57.444-04:002010-08-11T22:08:57.444-04:00"Wind Beneath My Wings" s/b "Wind B..."Wind Beneath My Wings" s/b "Wind Beneath My Sheets."
