Well sure, but in the bakery's defense, we don't know what was on Madeline's list.
I mean, maybe it looked like this:
Things Sunshine Likes:
1) Sadness
2) Plastic
3) Clashing Colors
4) Writing With Her Feet
5) Staring Into The Abyss
6) Disproportionate Sizes
7) Rough Plaster Walls
8) Ransom Notes
9) Being Forgotten Until The Last Possible Second
10) Balloons
See, if THAT was the list then you've gotta admit: BANG ON.
Thanks to Madeline & Sunshine, who I hope finally gets a giggle out of her sweet sixteen tragedy.

America's Tragedy...
....In cake.
Whatever they paid for that cake, it was too much. I could have produced that for the price of a boxed mix and a can of frosting.
Ransom Notes...LOL!
So sad. The one lame balloon, the tiny 16.... a cake reflection of "yeah, whatever."
I do hope the daughter picked up a cake full of bright frosting roses and lots of sprinkles!! Sprinkles will make the day better.
So....four whole years ago.... Hmmmmm.
*Thinking*: "Factor in how it felt at the raw instant of.....(!Ugh?Ow?).....THEN, the ONE, lone balloon --...IF you can call it that...(snerk).
Looong, dragged-out siiighhh.....=^u.u^=
Feeling bad for poor Sunshine, and yet I can't...stop...laughing!!
am I the only one who's impressed that the balloon looks like a balloon?
[NOTE FROM JEN: That's because it's plastic. :D]
* 10. balloon
You forgot dental floss. I'm pretty sure the balloon 'string' is dental floss. Cinnamon.
If they were going for a "we mean this so much we wrote it in blood" look, they nailed it!
Is it just me or does anyone else think the letters look a little bit like dripping blood, making the message very ominous indeed.
If they wrecked it
And you know it
Kick the baker

Then your cake will surely show it,

Send it to Jen!
And don't call me Shirley.
Finally get a cake where the baloon looks like a baloon, and no one is happy.....
But she doesn't like balloons... just one. She only likes balloon.
I can't get over (aka "can't stop laughing at") the fact that not only is the girl's name Sunshine, but her disposition isn't sunshiny enough to look back on this and laugh after FOUR YEARS.
Those numbers aren't plastic, they are the hard sugar candy letter kits sold in grocery stores baking aisles, I use them because I can't pipe
The numbers are the best part! Those were my favorite thing about homemade cakes when I was a child. I didn't know they still made those.
Here's another cool thing about today's post: the 1-10 list of things that Sunshine demanded--er, LONGED FOR- really worked out, after all....
IN OUR (sick, twisted) FAVOR. 😼
A ransom note cake would have been kind of cool!
Really, bakery? Someone PAID for this?! It looks horrifically amateurish,and even unfinished. If there had't been a back story, I would've thought Sunny's Grandma made it at home.
Budget cakes, not even once.
Wow. I have no words for this cake other than.. why..??? Did it take so long in the oven that they ran out of decorating time? Evil wreckerators ruining a sweet 16 cake.
It looks homemade, not bakery at all. Really a local bakery? Not even any piping around edges?
Oh poor girl! I do think that the 16 was a little small. Also the handwriting
looked like it was written by a 2 year old
Talk about your 15 minutes of fame! Imagine - having your 16th BD wreck immortalized on Cake Wrecks! Sunshine should be proud!
I know turning 16 is kind of a big deal to most teen girls. But I wasn't *like* most teen girls. I don't even really remember what my birthday cake looked like. I think maybe it was a DQ ice cream cake with a shapeless orangey-green-black blob that was supposed to resemble Garfield the cat on it.
You are my Sunshine
My only Sunshine
Your cake is crappy
The baker's bad
If you only knew, dear
How much we're laughing
Then my Sunshine
Would be happy, not sad
Considering some of the wrecks on this site, this isn't that bad a cake.
I've been a follower of CW for years, and this is one of my favorites ever!
