OMG, how horrible! I could have made a prettier cake (or at least bought one at the store)!
On a side note... there's this wedding planner/caterer that my mom goes to church with and who her friend works for that she's been pressuring me to look into. Keep in mind SHE doesn't actually know him except by name/face.
Well, a few weeks ago we got together and she starts to tell me about a conversation she had with him AT CHURCH. He came up to her and said "you look familiar" and they determined that it was because she is a therapist in his shrinks office... no big deal, lots of people see shrinks... however, he went on to explain to her that the reason he was seeing the Dr. is because he's "started drinking again" and doesn't want to stop and he just went on and on to my mother, who'd he'd never spoken to before, about how much he had missed drinking and how much fun it was... did I mention they were in church?
Anywho, she has since backed off me about using him...

My 8-year-old daughter could decorate a cake better than that one. That is the FUGLIEST cake I've ever seen. I would have been horrified if my baker had delivered something like that.

I don't know that there would have been a cake lady left to sue if my mother would have seen that cake come in!

Nope I would have stuffed that baker into her oven. WTH happened to the ribbon why try to do that with icing?!?! Did it melt on the way to the wedding in the back of her transportation or what? That is a seriously scary cake. My 8 yr old just asked who would have a cake like that

Hmm...yeah...I think I'd be sending my MOH to Costco for a couple huge sheetcakes with standard icing flowers on them--at least it wouldn't look like a kindergarter made it!

Ditto. There's no way in hell I would have allowed that thing near my guests. The baker would have been wearing it.

I can so totally relate!
The lady that made my daughter's christening cake was the same one that made my first wedding cake. She was truly a phenomenal artist!!! Unfortunately, she also had very very bad arthritis and so when it came time to buy a christening cake for my son, she was unable to do it. She could no longer hold a pastry bag so I went to a local caterer with a photo of my daughter's cake.
I asked them point blank ... Can you do this? I mean EXACTLY like this but for changing out the name?
They said yes. Of course the photos of they showed me were beautiful but were they really cakes that THEY had made? I doubt it. I was stupid and didn't ask for references.
As you can guess, my son's cake didn't look anything like my daughter's. In fact, it looked like someone who had completed one class in decorating had done it. Worse yet, it tasted like crud.
Ladies .... ask for references and call them. Better yet, ask them to email you photos of their actual cake!

Oh god! I could've done better than that, and I am NOT a cake expert! If that was me, I'd have thrown it back at the baker and run out to Costco or something.

I went to a wedding recently at which the cake looked like someone had chewed on it for a while! The weird part is, as soon as the B&G walked in the venue, they made them cut the cake. We're talking IMMEDIATELY. THEN they wrapped it in paper napkins instead of serving it and left it in a huge greasy pile for us to grab on the way home.
this is so not happening at mine.

The bride freaked because of it. She kept ranting that this was how everyone was going to remember the wedding. Ironically, it's her reaction i remember more than anything!
