I was browsing on the internet & came across this picture. It made my heart stop. I've http://www.theage.com.au/ffxImage/urlpicture_id_1046540183225_2003/03/11/WEDDING_CAKE.jpg
I've never seen anything like it....just thought i'd share....

excuse me..I thought i'd attached the picture .. but it won't let me.

HOLY Cow look at that Cake.. WOW...
But ewwww look at that truck I think after seeing that I would just stand backand look at it and not really rush to taste it..lol
WOW tho

i can't believe anyone would have good enough nerves to whip around town with that huge cake assembled in the back. I don't care if that man's propped up on it or not, he won't be able to save it.

That's some cake! but yeah...no rush to taste it. Hope no bugs missed the windshield and ended up in the buttercream!

looks doctored to me

Hubby said well thats the way they do it in NY... NO way! I know bakers on here that wouldn't send some elibrate cake like that in the back of a nasty truck with a man holding a TIRE in one hand and touch all over their cake... They would have a TOTAL COW! He said yes but I have seen it when I was there so someone's doing it... MEN think they gotta be right about everything..lol

I agree with the YUCK!! But I can see a man thinking that this is an accectable way to transport a wedding cake....I'm surprised they didn't have it strapped down with some DUCT TAPE!!!

Hmm this looks like it from another country? maybe this is how they do things and how else would they transport that big of a cake..haha.

that's some cake -wonder where this is exactly?

OMG......!

Are those grease spots on his shoulder? There you go - a built in hand sanitizer - a greasy shirt!!!! Gross!

I agree, kirahhh - I think this must be from another country.

it looks to me like it was altered in either photoshop or paint shop pro... just by where his other hand is resting.. how would he hold the cake there? so more than likely its a gag pic

I don't think there's anyway that can be a real picture, but it would be nutty if it were! Look how much clearer the cake is than the rest, even the man holding it. I can't think of any baker who would transport their work in a nasty truck with a dirty man holding it, unless it's a family member picking it up. Still a crazy picture though!

IF this is fake kudos to whoever did the work because it is perfect. I used to retouch photos for work and I cannot find anything to give it away. The lighting and angles look perfect. If you look close up even the pixelization is equal.

I guess it would be gross if bugs got on it, but if his hands were clean and he got in and then touched the tire to hold on I don't think that is too gross. Plus he is only holding the topper.

But I be they had to drive really really slow.

Couldn't this be a prop???

I hope they didn't charge extra for "crunchy topping" in case the bugs did make it into the frosting.

OMG and EWWWWW!!!
i've worked in NYC (manhattan) for 6 years. I have never seen a cake being transported that way. Chances are if it's real, those who ate it didn't know how it was transported. EW

Looks like a recipe for disaster to me.


Wanda

OMG wouldn't want to eat that one. Thank you for making me laugh having a bad day today.

There a cake accident waiting to happen...

Actually, I looked it up & it is a real picture...it was a wedding cake being transported to a reception hall through the streets of Baghdad in 2003.

The website is for an Australian newspaper.

I would be surprised if it even made it to where it was going!! Wonder how much had to be scraped back up off the dirty bed of the truck and fixed LOL LOL, isn't that just disgusting!! LOL
