17+ Cake Decorating Fails That Should Never Have Happened

Christ on a crumpet, that is one hell of a terrifying cake! The teeth are far too realistic, while the rest of it looks like one of Pennywise's fever dream nightmares.

Ah, the person who decorated this must have also gone to a college where they use cats instead of caps. You haven't truly graduated until you've had to balance an unwieldy cat on your head during graduation, let me tell you!

I hope that Matt at least got a bit of a giggle out of this catastrophe!

On another note, it upsets me that the dingbat who wrote this can write infinitely neater with icing than I can with a damn pen.

I mean, I can see why they would have started crying! A balding, fanged nightmare hedgehog from the depths of hell will do that to a kid!

That turned from a ninja to a terrified man who has woken up wrapped in bloodied bandages very fast!

I would love it if this cake was actually decorated by a vengeful former student of this teacher's! That also sounds like the plot of an amazing revenge flick.

They are technically correct, which every good bureaucrat knows is the best kind of correct!

Maybe this is a cake that is made of milk of magnesia and beans! And yes, milk of magnesia is still a thing you can get.

I remember the great sprinkle shortage of '08 very well. Those were dark days...and decidedly less flavorsome and fabulous!

Why do people keep doing Elmo like this? Guys, leave poor Elmo alone and stop ruining him in cake form!

I would absolutely love to have a cake like this at a party now that I think about it. I mean, everyone would get a laugh out of it if nothing else!

Someone suggested that next time they need a cake, they should send the picture on the right to the baker and see if they get another cake with a picture of a cake with the picture they initially wanted on it!

I don't really see how it could possibly be any worse in person? It looks horrifying enough from here!

Ask and ye shall receive! Nothing is better than nothing after all! I mean, "Nothing" means more icing in this instance, which is ironic.

Wow, you really wouldn't think that an attempt to make Peppa Pig cakes could go quite so wrong, would you?

Well, there could still be a future in baking for this person! I mean, it would only be in the vein of providing cakes for halloween parties, but still, that's something!

This unfortunate cake owner wrote, "A friend of mine ordered a picture cake and gave the woman a thumb drive with the picture she wanted to use. When my friend went to pick it up, this is what was waiting for her."

The years after leaving Sesame Street were not kind to Elmo. The meth addiction really took its toll on his innocent soul.

The bit about the musical notes is not actually the bit that annoys me. It's the fact that it isn't really a capital "A" at the start of "Amber." And that kind of persnickety-ness is why I am lonely!

I don't think that I got the Apple update where my phone can send delicious-looking cakes instead of email sign-offs!
