Ouch! These are awful! I hope they got refunds at the least!
Tinu and kristina: A 'torte' is a type of cake, and 'tort law' refers to a type of lawsuit, usually having to do with someone else's negligence, I believe. The 'e' in 'torte' is silent, so they're pronounced the same. Hope that helps!
To share my oft repeated question:
And what did the truck look like after the train hit it?
wv: anizinem
which will undoubtedly become the name of some new miracle drug that you can't pronounce
I really wish you could/would post the names of the bakeries so that others could avoid the same fate! And if I was the bride of #3, I'd have shoved a piece in the bakers face, not the groom's, AFTER I got my money back!
Haha. I've had to carry TWO wedding cakes now, and both times were probably the most anxious terrifying times of my entire life!

"Crocker and Hines got me 2.1 million (sprinkles)!" (old commercial from this guy: http://www.larryhparker.com/)
The wedding cake 'cases' make me hyperventilate. Ugh, what disasters.
thanks a lot seryan and kristina!
Jen, you make me laugh! It is disturbing the loud cackle I've developed while reading your posts. "Torte law" :-) This is why I read CW daily!
When my husband talks of tort reform it makes me hungry.

And to throw a little filling (instead of gasoline) in the mix...
Tort is also the action of cutting a cake into thin layers in order to add fillings.
To tort or not to tort.... THAT's the question!
As a lawyer's wife and having had a few law classes myself, I'm am ROFLPMP at your 'torte' law!!
I also am cringing for the poor recipients of these varied cake squooshes.
We attended an outdoor wedding wich featured a very tall, spindly cake, that decided to topple in the very light wind. Can we say lack of support?

It's so unfortunate that #4 and #7 actually could've been un-wrecky cakes if it wasn't because of their injuries.
The rest of them I believe got luckier as they could apologize saying "Well it was an ugly cake already so not much was lost"
shlownc.- jewish interjection on the sight of a cakewreck.
I'm not a professional baker, but I have made cakes that have melted due to heat. So sad, but so funny!
They made people PAY for those?!
One of the funniest commentaries ever!!! Couldn't y'all make a video for a commercial (1-800-CWRECKS????
some of those certainly are sue worthy
A couple of these remind me of that line from Disney's Sleeping Beauty. "Of course, it will be much stiffer after it's baked!"
Yeah, as I was reading the post I was hearing it in my head with the voices of the Ghostbusters! Remember the commercial they made for their business?
I am laughing so hard I can't breathe.. Cake and Hines lol..I would wonder if the people that dropped off those cakes actually ran off like a flash once they saw how ruined they were. I know I would be pretty mad if I ordered a beautiful cake and then came.. those. Doom would follow.
If you refer your friends and relatives, do they give you a Sunday Sweet deal?
WV: undst - I just don't undst-nd how some of these people get paid to make cakes...
Even wittier than normal
Oh my goodness! I had to literally laugh out loud at this post, simply because I have a friend, J. Crocker, who just got married to a woman with the name of E. Hines!!! Their cakes were awesome (and tasty!) and I just couldn't help but giggle! Here are a couple pics, just because I'm still giggling!
Crocker is a serious Jeep fanatic;

And their wedding cake! (a slight wreck... just a bit, it's in the details really.)

I just wanted to share :)
#1 Is that a black forest cake? If so, it looks like Malraux enjoyed it rather more than Sartre's first attempt.
#2 It's a CCC (patooie!). That's trauma enough for anyone.
#3 Is that seaweed?! @SuBee, that was a honey of a comment.
#4 Oh for a picture (better: video) of the faceplant that produced this result.
#5 This is probably not the kind of settlement clients of Crocker & Hines have in mind.
#6 I'm engaged, so this one just makes me shudder. Don't think I'll be telling my sweetheart about CW until *after* the wedding -- she's jumpy enough as it is.
#7 "I know I said I needed it 'right away', but I don't think the skid-turns were necessary."
Crocker & Hines might face competition from Baskin, Robbins & Carvel, but that firm specializes in frozen assets.
Sue a wreckorater? I like that idea, considering some of the things I've seen on this site. How to make them pay for ruining your happy day. That should be a slogan for your team.
Wow Nice cakes
My word verification was cough (really!). Ahem, excuse me, gotta clear my throat *cough**cough*. Whoo boy! Where to begin...
Cake #1 looks like the bride shoved new hubby’s face right in it after she found out about him and her best friend. Perhaps someone took a couple fistfuls to start a food fight?
Even if Cake #2 hadn’t slid all over the place, it was still a CCC (haaaawk patooie) – doomed from the start. Was it supposed to be a seashell? Poor birthday girl.
Cake #3 seems like it’s still in a kitchen, so perhaps the bakery took a picture of their “oopsie” and sent a replacement. I’d really like to think that. Let’s go with that. I’m optimistic. It looked like it was a nice smooth cake, but still...what’s up with the lettuce/seaweed strips? LOL, I like the Stay-Puff marshmallow man reference!
Cake #4 is a just shame because it wasn’t wrecky before that.
Cake #5 – ugh. I’m not much for coconut cake anyway.
Cake #6 again, a simple, pretty cake, but oops. Was the tablecloth all “scrunchy” to offset the crack in the cake or did the cake slip and the tablecloth went with it?
Cake #7 looks like it was in a hot car too long. Why is there a dark green airbrushed square on the side of a blue & white cake (with yellow & pink accents)? Yuck.
Ha! After spending hours decorating my son's Lightning McQueen cake, I put it in the cold oven to keep the cats away until party time. Then I preheated the oven to cook a pizza and forgot the cake until I smelled the oh-so lovely aroma of melting plastic from my cake board. My twice-baked cake survived, albeit a little crunchy. ;)
Hahaha brilliant post!
awww that's so sad... i would def cry
