The Times of Wreckerators' Lives
October 13, 2016 There are moments we cherish, and then there are moments like these:
When the customer asks for music notes and you're all, "I'VE GOT THIS."
;)
Yes, music notes. Honest.
When your own packaging shows just how badly your "unicorn cake" misses the mark:
;)
I mean, really. It looks more like the cloud.
And my favorite:
When someone helpfully suggests you Google "baby girl cake" for decorating ideas:
;)
Thanks to Anabell M., Alexandra S., & Charles F., who isn't too worried his baker will see this, I think for obvious reasons.

When I saw the first cake, I thought "Cool! Someone did a University of Alabama cake with the script A", then realized that was not crimson, it was dark chocolate brown.
Where's a facepalm emoji when ya need it?
In all fairness, except for the lettering that last cake is really quite adorable and well made.
The pink "unicorn," however, reminds me more of the Snuffleupagus from Sesame Street for some reason. Can't you just see that mouth as the top segment of a trunk?
I'd never have guessed the first cake as "music notes" though and I actually have a degree in music ed!
Sadly, while all three cakes show that the wreckorators themselves do have some talent, their execution of the cakes was more of a...well, to be honest...an execution!
If you take the inscription off of the baby girl cake, it is actually cute :)
The next time you're looking for a shower cake, and don't have the time (or really don't even care), just Gogle it. You'll exactly what you're looking for.....
=^-.-^=
The saddest bit about that last one is it's otherwise beautiful...
Baby girl cake is nice. Just take off the heart.. The big one. Or cover it up.
The "music notes" cake is actually for a hipster mathematicians' convention. It's a bunch of pi symbols with mustaches.
That third one: When bad inscriptions happen to gorgeous cakes.
Did anybody else notice that last cake's baker seemed to have been inspired by the infamous "Bear Vaginas" cake? So either they were right & that is a standard seam, or bear lady parts are popping up as a "thing."
Which I'd really rather they weren't--don't be THAT bare, bears!
They're music notes with one of them turned around.
I'm going to have to Google gogle, just for the h*ll of it!
Does anyone else think the unicorn is kind of adorable in a lumpy, round kind of way?
The tragedy of bakers getting so wrapped up in their beautiful work they miss the inscription by miles....the last cake was beautiful, except for the unfortunate inscription.....smh
I just love it when baby cakes get ruined... they're even funnier than Bridal Wrecks!
Unicorn? I was thinking pink, horned toad. Go Frogs! (It's a Texas thing)
If you look closely at the unicorn cake, it was made using a shaped pan, which makes it even more frightening.
Oh it's not that the first baker hadn't the slight idea about how to draw a musical note; he just meant his cake is in the key of "A"!
When I first glanced at the top cake, I thought that was a "Pi" symbol, and assumed (you know where THAT leads) those where the numbers 3.126--- around the outside. A second glance showed I was almost as mistaken as the decorator! Music notes? In what universe? Ah, Alpha Centauri, of course!
What's wrong with Una is they put the mouth and nostrils in the wrong place. It's kinda an odd cake even when it's done right: https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-e5nv2YCSVUc/VwVldil7-SI/AAAAAAAAYlw/5s9KZUOMCy8jtiWq1NvXpjExfARtOFlrQ/s1600/Asda%2BUna%2BUnicorn%2BCake%2BReview.jpg
The unicorn cake is from a UK supermarket (grocery store) and is bought in ready made. No baker in-store made it - it's directly from a factory.
I agree that the first looks like a shaped pan, but I think it was a frog!
I say the last one is on purpose. If you "gogle" Baby shower you probably will get the bear vaging cake sooner rather than later. Most decorators I know would have read those directions as a hit to their very healthy egos and this is most likely the result.
To be fair, "A" is a musical note.
Maybe they should google how to spell 'google'....
@Bluebonnet -- I had a teacher who went to TCU -- Killer Frogs! :)
These cakes are soooo close, and yet so far...
Last one is soooo close. Again, just take away the wrecker's piping bag!
Oh man that last cake is so cute despite what they wrote. Considering what other people got for baby shower cakes I would be glad with this one lol.
The last one is really well made but...
"maybe they not notice I'm better baking then spelling and English"
I know that sounds mean but it feels like that.
Ooh! I have a better pic of that ASDA (part of Wallmart, I believe) unicorn cake! How do I get it to you please?
I'm highly suspicious of the last one. A baker with that kind of skills, messing up the inscription that badly? I suspect an "on purpose" wreck.
About the bear cake -- I, for one, am not particular impressed with the baker's skills given the lumpy state of the fondant and the strange large ball intended to be the knot part of the bow. Dollars to donuts, they bought the bear or have one person in the shop who does sculptures.
And (ahem), pi is 3.14159... [very sorry, Lady Anne, my MIT education got the better of me]. That said, what a WONDERFUL idea for Pi Day (March 14th), especially for folks who would rather eat cake than pie. Thanks, Lady Anne!
Musical notes- *facepalm* . The unicorn does resemble Snuffy! And I agree with everyone about the inscription on Google baby girl cake.
I'll assume the last cake was in response to the classic cake order customer, who thinks it's part of the designer's job to research cake designs and see which one the customer likes.
