Cake decorating can be a career for some people. They thrive on creativity and bringing the imagination of others to life. But for others, it’s just a way to pay the bills. Frankly, it always shows.
1) I See No Golf Club
Why is this drive on this cake? Well, the people at this office asked the bakery to put their boss playing golf on the cake. There was a misunderstanding and they out the flash drive that the picture was on instead.

2) Throw Your Cats in the Air
At no point in this cake decorator’s day did they question as to whether they should put a cat or a cap on that girl’s head. Maybe they never graduated?

3) Baby in R-e-e-e-d
This one is obvious. They wanted to put “Welcome Baby” on the cake in pink icing. Then of course, don’t they always write what is on the ticket? At least it’s in pink icing. Oh, wait.

4) That’s Hilarious
I wouldn’t even be mad at this one. They asked the bakery for a cake with Justin Bieber in pink on it. Well, they got Justin Bieber and Pink. Hope she likes green!

5) Oh, Jolene, What Did You Do?
This Dolly Parton cake on the left is pretty boss. But when this aunt tried to recreate it, well, let’s just hope the bakery is still open. At least she tried.

6) Makes Sense To Me
There are so many things wrong with this. First of all, they wrote, “under neat,” and I hope that’s not a copy of the original. Because if not, then they messed up in more ways than one.

7) Not Even Mad
I believe this one and I would appreciate it either way. We all want sprinkles and the cake is a meme in itself. However, not adding sprinkles to someone who wants them is a big mistake.

8) Can’t Help That
Those little signatures devices make hardly cause trouble. But today, that all changed. That cake looks awesome and tasty, but we sincerely doubt this is what was meant to be.

9) Is This the South Pole?
It’s true that most penguins are found in the Southern Hemisphere, but we like to think that the ones up north look like the one on the left. Mr. Cork Head is what happens when you breed them in the states.

10) They’re Not Wrong
To be fair, this cake decorator would be awesome at forgery. They did exactly as they were told. Look at that handwriting and proofreading marks. Spot on.

Instagram
11) Over the Phone
This is why you don’t make your order over the phone. We can only assume that this was supposed to say Phillip with three dots after it. But “That That That,” could totally be something now.

12) Where Is He?
I apologize, but I cannot find a bunny anywhere in that picture. I see a few whiskers and that’s about it. There seems to be a third eye though, so maybe he’s using it to disort our perception.

13) Minecraft is Ready
They will definitely know when this is to be picked up now. Do you think that cake in the picture is also what they were supposed to make? Oopsie. Super fail!

14) We Do Confirm
Looks like Rebecca is going to have a nice Comfirmation now. The parents picked out a cake from their book and decided on number 315. This is what they got.

15) It’s No Surprise That Her Name Means bEaUtY
This poor Belle was horribly ravaged. Probably had her jewelry stolen too. Nope, there it is, pretty little white M&Ms. Isn’t she precious? The Beast must be so proud.

Reddit
16) Nothing to Be Ashamed Of
Choice colors here, in this case. But if I got a cake every time that I took a bath, I’d take them far more often. Who wouldn’t? This kid is going to be so spoiled.

17) Get Out of My Swamp
If this was the Shrek in the movie, we can guarantee you that there wouldn’t be anybody in his swamp. This is the R-rated horror movie starring Shrek. Good luck watching it alone.

18) So Close This Time
This kid make his little sister a cake for her birthday and you know what, it’s a good thing he got that cake foam to put on top of it. That was a good save, man.


Source:
Imgur
19) Not a Duck
You know how autocorrect always wants you to say “duck”? Well, this is the opposite of that. They wanted a cute little duck on their cake and ended up with this monstrous camel thing.


Source:
Reddit
20) Can’t Complain
After seeing these other cakes, this one doesn’t look so bad. The horn is pretty good and the mane mullet is not all that bad. However, side-by-side, you can see how one would be disappointed.


Source:
Instagram
21) Feisty One
This sounds super depressing and not full of love at all. But we know that’s not what was supposed to be put on this cake, right? Or is this for Eeyore after all?

Cake Wrecks
22) Make Them Different Next Time
When you order two cakes, make sure that you specify that you want the same writing on each of them. Otherwise, they but “Happy Birthday on Both.”


Source:
Reddit
23) Fill ‘Er Up
Maybe just maybe someone wanted a Chevron cake. But more than likely, they just wanted to colors and not have the word “Chevron” written on their birthday cake.


Source:
Cake Wrecks
24) A Rare Pink One
Whoever asked for this cake probably did appreciate the colors, but that’s about it. This poor unicorn’s horn is depressing and her depression is causing her to give us the crazy eye.


Source:
Reddit
25) Chew-Baka
This poor Chewbacca would only be recognized if put next to the original. Which is super adorable. This attempt though, is actually the worst thing we’ve seen today. And that’s saying a lot.


Source:
Reddit
26) Copyright Infringement
The fear of copyright infringement is the only reason to do this. Whoever ordered this is probably geeking out over the mistake, red face and all. Maybe the cake decorator is dyslexic?

27) So Wrong
At first, you think, “wow, Mark spelled with a C?” And then, you’ll think, “with the sea? That sounds relaxing!” And then, you’ll see that they spelled brithday wrong and this cake is a disaster.


Source:
Reddit
28) He’s a Dangerous Animal
Porcupines are sweet and adorable little shrew-like creatures. Unless someone underqualified makes a cake inspired by one. Then…everything changes.


Source:
Reddit
29) There was Room
They wondered if there was room to put their son’s name on the cake. Turns out, there’s room for much more nonsense than that. These people need a raise.

30) Cinderelly?
That is such a beautiful orignal Belle cake that it looks like a real dress! However, this copycat. That’s about the saddest thing that I’ve ever seen. The poor dear.


Source:
Instagram
31) It’s Me!
At least they spelled his name right. BUt that’s about all they did right. Even with fondant, they found a way to destroy Mario and give him an extra arm.


Source:
Instagram
32) We Do Know Him
It’s amazing that we can recognize who this is. But that’s the only compliment we have to give. Sure, that green is also beautiful, but if this is the best Hulk you have, then you should switch careers.


Source:
Reddit
33) He Done Did It
To be fair, this is confusing. Fill the cake with dots? Not polka dots or spots? Okay then. Perhaps we can forgive that misunderstanding. But “fallowing”? Nope.

34) Gotta Try This
Matt is going to be in for quite the surprise when he starts reading this. His eyebrows will lower with each word. This is one of those tricks you’d love to try with your friend.


Source:
Imgur
35) That’s One Lazy Person
Did they misunderstand or are they really that lazy? Would it hurt to call and ask if you wanted the rings or the words? Did they expect this person to draw a picture of what they wanted?


Source:
Amusing Planet
36) This Explains a Lot
This makes you wonder who messed up here. Was it the person who told them what to write or the decorator themself? Either way, this must be one depressed teen.

37) What’s You Been Up To, Woody?
Poor Woody must have had a rough night. We see this mess and wonder exactly what that is supposed to be. If this was on purpose, shame on whoever thought of it.


Source:
Instagram
38) Paraphrasing
So, they wanted this to say “Congratulations, You Did It.” That doesn’t seem like too much too ask. But when you open that box and see “Congration You Done It,” your mouth will never close again.


Source:
Imgur
39) Who Lives In a Pineapple?
Not this guy. Though he probably should be dumped in the sea. How in the world this happened is beyond human comprehension. It’s best not to dwell on this cursed cake.

Imgur
40) Rudolph’s Cousin
To be completely fair, Rudolph was made fun of becaus he had a big red nose and he became famous, Santa’s number one reindeer. So we really shouldn’t throw stones.


Source:
Instagram
41) Is She an Elf?
So either she’s an elf from Lord of the Rings or she is the oldest turtle on earth. Either way, it really is quite amazing that she’s still alive. I wonder what her favorite century was.


Source:
Instagram
42) The Name is Right
All that was supposed to be on this cake was a name. C C. Just like that without periods. Well, maybe it would have been better to write what you want because that seems to be the going theme.


Source:
Cake Wrecks
43) That’s Real Toast
This 3D art is more than good, it’s real. That is actualy toast that the bakery put on this cake. It looks kind of good but also kind of cheap. This is one of those “Thanks, Mom,” moments.


Source:
Reddit
44) Never Understand
Pretty sure that we can’t even begin to understand what this means. There’s 40 what now? The more you try to understand, the less sense it makes.

Cake Wrecks
45) It’s a Hotdog
This makes no sense. Besides that cake looks awful! Does it not? When you ask for a hotdog, you don’t expect to get something so atrocious. And that cookie? Supposed to be a burger.


Source:
Instagram
46) Cookie!
If Cookie Monster were really real, then he’d look more like that cake than the Cookie Monster we see on Sesame Street. I mean, he has perfect lighting and a wonderful fur and makeup team.


Source:
Reddit
47) Think Twice
There’s nothing wrong with questioning an order. If you receive an image and it’s nonsense, then you would assume that there’s more to it than that.

48) Put the Lotion on the Skin
This is so sad yet one can hardly stop staring at that cake. We understand that isn’t the easiest book cover to recreate, but I’m pretty sure anyone could do better than that.


Source:
Reddit
49) Just a Little Excited
This looks like someone is trying to downplay this person’s success. That someone must be jealous! They only want to congratulate this person a little.

50) Bow is On Point
This poor Minnie is just trying to make a living selling her bows in her bow shop. But the stress of owning a business is really getting to her. The poor thing isn’t aging well.


Source:
Reddit
51) They Sure Did
Not only did they write, “write welcome on it,” on it, but they also have some of the worst penmanship in the business. I would suggest a smaller piper next time.


Source:
Amusing Planet
52) He’s Adorable
I can’t imagine complaining after receiving this adorable little Darth Maul. He looks like he ate the entire first cake but at least he has happy eyes.


Source:
Reddit
53) They Really Tried…Not
This is about the least amount of effort one could put into decorating a cake. Sometimes, you get things wrong, and othertimes, you just don’t try.


Source:
Imgur
54) Had Me in the First Half
So, first of all, those poinsettias are not on point at all. But what’s worst than that is that someone wants to marry Christmos. Don’t we all, though?


Source:

55) Marry Her Instead
Instead of marrying Christmos, how about this lovely bride. We have no idea who she is or where she came from but there’s a 90% chance that it’s not what was requested.

56) Why So Sullen?
This Sully cake on the left is adorable and I want one. But this attempt at a copycat? Well, the sooner you look away from his eyes, the better.


Source:
Reddit
57) Hi, I’ma Untricron
He sure does look like a friendly guy but I’m not so sure I buy into his claim that he is a unicorn. Unless he means he’s a rare spectacle because that one is true.


Source:
Instagram
58) Sounds About Right
You know, this isn’t all bad. They got most of it right. And if it were made today, this would probably be what kids would want. After all, it has much more emotion.


Source:
Amsuing Planet
59) The New Grumpy Cat
This cake is actually so adorable. If there had to be a viral cat with a personality to share, I’d vote that it be this cake. Although it isn’t real, it has a bigger personality than that beautiful floofer.


Source:
Reddit
60) Gobble Gobble
That is one crazy turkey. Perhaps he knows what is happening to his family on Thanksgiving. Perhaps he’s hoping he won’t be next. Or maybe, he just hates candy corn.


Source:
Instagram
61) This Time, With Feeling
We will, we will, miss you. This is completely understandable. They wanted to know that they will be missed. It’s confusing if you think about it, but makes sense if you leave it be.

62) Mary’s Little What?
First lamb? Adorable and perfect. Second lamb? Sweet and realistic. Third lamb? What did he do to deserve this and what did we do to deserve him?


Source:
Reddit
63) Gotta Hand It To Him
Little Joe asked for an army cake for his birthday. Like one in camo with little soldiers on it. Well, Little Joe, it’s time you learn that you can’t always get what you want.


Source:
Reddit
64) This is Fine
This poor kitty. All she ever wanted was to be like the other cats. But it looks like she’ll melt before that ever happens. At least she won’t get eaten.


Source:
Instagram
65) Super Saiyan
Elsa has turned Super Saiyan, and will likely go far beyond that. I guess that’s what happens when you have magical powers…or you don’t have your signature braid.


Source:
Reddit
66) Protect it At All Costs
This cute little Toothless just wants to protect his home. From who? Maybe the daughter who is falling apart even more than the cake. All she wanted was a nice dragon themed birthday party.


Source:
Instagram
67) You Know Him?
You know Adam with the Blue Flowers? He always has them! Oh wait, you don’t mean him? What really confuses me is that they put blue flowers on it and wrote, “blue flowers.”

The Perfect Details
68) Love Him So Much
It really doesn’t matter how bad the Danny DeVito cake is, if someone makes one, we will love it no matter what. So, nice try, but you’re still a hero, Danny.


Source:
Reddit
69) Take Notes
You know how Paramount heard that we hated the Sonic art and then they redid they whole movie? This is exactly what needs to happen to this cake. Fast.

70) Cleared the Garden
It was so nice of someone to get a cake for this couple who just weeded their garden. Oh wait, that’s not what happened. Rebecca, stand down!

71) Thomas the What Now?
This Thomas the Tank Engine cake is anything but. The poor thing deserved so much better than the hand he was dealt. He probably wants to drive off the counter right now.


Source:
Reddit
72) Not Bad Penmanship
To do that well with the piping bag and still mess up is actually flabbergasting. The little sign even says, “chef-prepared,” so there’s no excuse for what is happening here.


Source:
Cake Wrecks
73) The Story Makes Sense Now
Aside from all the cleaning, it now makes sense why Cinderella was locked away. She was being protected, not allowed outside alone. You never know what might happen.


Source:
Reddit
74) It’s Amazing What Can Happen
In a million years, that is. If Duckie was still alive, she might look something like this. Imagine asking for a Duckie cake and coming home with this.


Source:
Reddit
75) Maybe It’s His Name
It could be easily understood that Green was Calvin’s last name. But in that case, I don’t think that Calvin Green would want his last name in parentheses.
