Not a cake disaster (necessarily)...but after cake was served I had to get up and talk to the Dj about a song my mom wanted. When I came back to the table my cake was gone. The waitstaff cleared it away thinking I was done. I hadn't even taken a bite.

Really a potential disaster. My mother in law offered to make our wedding cake for us. A nice offer, but fraught with potential disaster from the start. Problem 1: My in-laws live about 10 hours from where we were getting married. We don’t live there either, so when I asked about how she was going to make the cake, I…

I own a catering company, so my husband and I actually catered our own wedding (because i’m a sadist who swears by her own brisket...) anywho I made this martha stewart s’more cake monstrosity from scratch and it tasted damn good, but it had to be dressed and assembled at the venue. Fast forward to about 3 hours…

Instead of one big cake in the middle of the room and floral centerpieces on the tables, we decided to kill two birds with one stone and put a cake on every table. (I know; I’m a genius.) I bought glass candlesticks and glass plates from the Dollar Store, a tube of glass glue, and made my own cake stands. Welllll, the…

My pops is black and my mom is white, and when they got married in the early 80s in buttfuck Colorado this was quite the anomaly/scandal. They couldn't find a black groom cake topper so they just sharpied in a white dude. Nothing says “special day” like blackface on your wedding cake

I wanted this cake

The only disaster with our cake is that I'm not eating it right this second.

Mine isn’t really a disaster, just a disappointment. After a TON of trouble finding a place to make the cake, we finally found someone. She made us a trial cake about a month before the wedding to make sure we liked everything. This cake was amazing! Strawberry cake with fresh strawberry filling, and strawberry icing.…

My cake story wasn’t so much a disaster as disappointing. I wanted a 3 tier topsy turvy cake, white with blue scrolls. Nothing too fancy, as my florist was creating this amazing arch from woven branches with flowers and greenery woven throughout. The florist needed to know the height of the cake to make adjustments to…

Not my cake disaster but I was witness to this as a plus one at a wedding. Couple orders gluten free cake because best man has Celiac (we know this because the table tents said in lieu of favors they were donating to several charities including one having to due with Celiac disease in honor of the best man). Bakery…

Thank you!

My turn! It was perfect.

I guess I’m about to dox myself (so if you know me, keep it to yourself) because I loved the way my itty bitty cake looked.

There was some sort of miscommunication, wherein I said “I really really really want this one particular cake at the wedding reception” (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyiv_cake) and my father-in-law heard “I don’t want a cake at all.” We had this really lovely dessert table, and nobody realized anything was amiss, but…

I mean they are tastey as fuck, but yeah. I think I may have been a little misleading when I said I wanted the whole affair to be “relaxed and no pressure” what bothered me most, and this is obbvy is that she was like “I FOUND THE CUTEST TOPPER FOR THE CAKE TODAYYY!!” What that meant is she found it, saw it and left…

My wedding itself was a disaster, thanks to mommy dearest. Since the big wedding plans got cancelled, we were going to elope with just our photographers - we ended up inviting a few family members. ANYWAY. We went to a cupcake store while we were taking our pictures before we got married/met up with everyone, and…

So... not a disaster, but I can’t help but share this because I loved my tiered apple pie for my wedding oh so much. It was the best.

Also, cuz I love sharing:

You beat everyone to the best joke.

Had to delay my wedding ceremony almost an hour and a half because my friend who went to pick up my cake/cupcakes made the lady do them over while she watched. Apparently she’d just smeared icing on the top of the cupcakes (no cute swirl) and didn’t add the decorations my friend had asked (and paid!) for.
