Bake a Cake, Diss A Vow

Words are a vital part of the wedding ceremony. With them you promise to love and cherish one another, declare your commitment publicly, and tell Uncle Randall to ease up on the Jägerbombs. Or at least stop dancing.

So, it's no wonder that some couples want to incorporate words on their wedding cake. And it's also no wonder - at least to me, heh - when those words spell disaster.

Or misspell it, as the case may be.

Note that the baker used the classic Wilton letter press on the first tier, but then gave up and free-handed the rest. And how "forword" is misspelled. And that "for worse" is left off. Now note the spacing. And the colors. And the...oh, are you ready to move on?

I'm told one or two of those words are misspelled, but frankly I was too distracted by the heaps of soggy seaweed to notice. Maybe that's the point?

No. Just...no.

Jessica wanted the writing on her cake to match the font of their invitations, so she brought in this handy reference picture:

She also asked that the roses be made of icing.

Drum roll, please!

I especially like the roses. Classy.

I think this one's my favorite, though:

Give it a minute.

Let it all sink in. Or line up. Or whatever.

Now, at first I thought the baker had stacked these in the wrong order, since it kind of looks like the top tier connects with the bottom one. When I saw the back, though, I realized:

I actually have no idea what is going on with this cake.

And finally, a tip for all your wedding wreckage:

The uglier it is, the more you should emphasize the word "beautiful."

Perfect.

Thanks to our wedding wreckporters Leslie F., Meagan R., Joe D., Jessica S., Angela C., & HickBride, who are all da bomb. But not Jägerbombs. 'Cuz that'd be weird.

Ok hickbride, I'm curious. Did they forget they were getting married and call Wal-Mart the day before? I do love the topper.

I can't imagine that words (or font- to match the invitations *why oh why*) would ever look good on a wedding cake.

On the "Three days past forever" Wreck, I thought it said "These days pass forever," which could either be interpreted as "These days take forever to pass," or, "These days are always passing." I prefer the first one.

wv - hogto. It would take someone with the baking skills of a hogto make Wrecks as bad as these.

"better, richer or poorer" well your odds are 2 out of 3 which isn't that bad..

wv: prednad e.g. before bakeries hire bakers they should sign a prednad agreement to, you-know, decide who gets to keep the sprinkles if they should ever split up

I think it looks like spinach on that cake, not seaweed.

Wow! That is why I am truly terrified to try a wedding cake....The poor brides must have been devastated...

On the bottom cake the word "trustworthy" has also been underlined. My first reaction is that this is an issue in this relationship?
