Here'es one I made up quick one nite for a co-worker.....ok, it was not that bad considering I am a beginnger, however if I only could spell..... when someone pointed it out to me the next day at the office, told that that is how we say birthday in north Jersey! LOL!!
I have made my first stacked cake and after the first hour IT IS STILL STANDING!!!! 
Sorry I'm not adding another cake to the contest but I had to say it and what better place than hear! 
I did get a lot of tips before making this cake from this forum 
So thanks all of you, your disasters saved my cake from one.
I will have it in my pics in the next day with the very funny story behind it.
it took me three days to get through this thread but i got through it! The chewbaca cake and crosseyed bumblebees were hysterical..... as i was reading through this thread however, i overbaked a cake AND as i was taking a break from reading i dumped a two tiered cake!!!!! grrr..... i was able to fix it. It was my first attempt at using the new tilting cake stand. I tilted... and both tiers slid off..... oy vey! it made me laugh because i can imagine that someone else out here was suffering my same pain!!!!
Oh no, I can't take it any more!! You are killing me... I am so glad I am not the only one with bad cakes. I have only posted 2 cakes and you can check out the unicorn.(My nightmare) My youngest test my skills and boy oh boy she gets my every year. Last year it was the unicorn, the year before that a Barbie ended up with a circus tent for a dress. Not so ugly but so big!! And then there was a castle cake. You don't want to know.. I must found a picture and post it. But then I don't think you want to see that one
That reminds me of when my mother told me to pick a cake out of her baking books and she would make it for my birthday. You must understand my mother is not a cake decorator and never will be. I pulled out from behind all her other books the professional deserts book and chose the hardest one. It was a very rich chocolate cake with one huge flower like chocolate shaving that only someone with years of experience could achieve. In the end every time my birthday came around after that she hid the book.
BTW I posetd my third cake, my stacked one. If you guys get a chance tell me what you think.
This was not my first cake ever, nor my worst but it is the worst i have a picture of. we had just gotten custody of one of our kids and it was his first birthday with us. since he is into Japanese history and collects antique Japanese swords i thought i would make his a cake with a dragon on it and write Happy Birthday Dusin in Japonese.
As you can see, the dragon looks more like a underfed mangy Irish Setter than a dragon and i don't think there is a Japanese person around who would tell you that what i wrote actually says Happy Birthday Dustin.
Like many of you, this was pre-torting, pre-learning how to make icing, and pre-knowing there was anything to make a cake in other than a 9x13 pan.
I study Japanese and I think that you did a good job, Japanese is harder to write than it looks. Did you get help from a native or just looked it up?
Ironbaker: first I have to say that I love the color of the dress & how smooth the icing is but, to me it looks like she's sinking into her dress...heehehee...even the way she's holding her hands looks like ..help me help me
Thanks and LOL! If you listen closely, you can just hear her screaming it.

Oh, that's too funny. I actually asked my wilton instructor what to do if you messed up writing on the cake. You see, my name is Kirsten and having spent many years writing my name after writing an I and an R, I automatically want to put in an S. So there I was practicing happy birthday on the practice board and I wrote "happy birst - oops." The really sad thing is that it happened more than once. Now whenever I write happy birthday on a cake I have to be really careful and say the letters in my head.
Okay here is mine! As I stated in the photo posting, putting eyes and noses on teddy grahams just about killed me. I actually like how it turned out but HATE the design. It is from June's 2006 Women's Day Cover. Never will I accept a request until I know what they are looking for ever - again!!!!!!!!!!!!
If anyone says this is cute, I will run screaming for the hills..........ugly, ugly, ugly design.
Ok...I have to say...I jsut came onto the site, and saw this thread, and I have to tell you...I was in the most depressed, upset mood, and now I'm laughing so hard I'm crying...you guys are SO funny...I think there should be a "Worst Cakes" section in the Gallery for all of us to go and see whenever we need a lift in spirits! It's a great idea. I'm going to TRY to attach my "worst cake" picture, but I can't promise I'll be able to figure out how to do it. It's not THAT bad I guess, but if you look at the border, it kind of jsut stops when I put the flowers on. I can't put my VERY worst picture on here, 'cause it landed on the floor!...lol...I was trying to impress my boyfriend's parents ( we've now been married 22 years!) with dessert for a dinner at their house, and I pulled the cake out of the oven, iced it before it was even cooled , and then wound up dropping it on the floor and it smashed into a hundred pieces! Of course, he walked in at that EXACT minute...and I'm still hearing about it 22 years later. I have come a long way though! ( Thank God!!!)
OMG TIPTOP...I SERIOUSLY LOVE IT!!!! ITS ADORABLE....THE BEARS THE WHOLE IDEA OF THE CAKE....ITS ALL TOO CUTE!! ITS GOING IN MY FAVORITES!!!! 
short....GET YOUR CAKE OUT OF HERE!!! NOW!!!!!!
OMG..I'm STILL going through these threads...I am laughing SO hard right now my kids are looking at me like I'm nuts...I just got tot hat one with the Care Bear on it..."Dave's Cake"...I'm gonna pee in my pants!...I'm putting it on my screen saver if that's O.K. jsut to keep me smiling...it is HYSTERICAL!!! See...EVERYTHING happens for a reason! Dave made this...umm, thing...to bring smiles to all our loves! THANK YOU!
First of all, thank you all soooooo much for this PERFECT thread! Not only is it extremely entertaining, it also makes us all feel good knowing that no one is perfect...At least not all the time...
Secondly, SAD, what are the green things in the litter box? ((Definately one of the NEATEST cakes I've ever seen!!))
This is my first experience with MMF and I was so bummed when my husband walked in on me while I was finishing that I slapped on the baseball threads. Doug gave me some good ideas, but I didn't execute them very well. Sorry Doug would've loved to have been able to do what you suggested. Maybe with more practice.
I dug up some more:
Now, all we need is a freakishly large baby & these booties would have made sense
Perhaps we could use the baby in the fridge to fill them?
I am another one who is laughing until it hurts....And yes, I"m in a cubicle, and yes, coworkers are wondering what the heck I"m laughing at. Thank you all SO much!!
Oh, wow. I must say- that care bear cake by Dave made me LOL! Now I have to tinkle! I tell ya- that cake is like care bears on acid, or care bears meets Grateful Dead. But, I'm sure it was made with love!
I LOVE this thread. It has really given me confidence, and I mean that in a VERY GOOD way, ladies! I have yet to post my first cake on here, so we'll see how confident I feel after that! Thanks for the giggles!

This has been great. I have to say that I thought the pile of poop looked like a pile of poop. Then I thought, surely not... then I looked harder and thought I saw a rhinocerous in there too. I read that it was poop after that and cracked up at the post where someone asked it if was a rhino!
I missed the ladybug somehow. Have to go back and find it.
Here is my disaster. It's a sad little thing. I'm so embarassed about it that I'm giving the customer a free six inch ice cream consolation cake for being my first victim/customer. 
I'm glad I didn't take pictures of my second and third because I cringe everytime I see this one!
Okay... here's mine.. I finally found it.
I wasn't into cake decorating yet so it's plain cake mix and canned frosting. Don't remember the flavors though. Yes, I was proud of it back then. Sad to say, my writing hasn't improved that much since then! LOL
