Okay here's another...I couldn't bring myself to post this because I thought it was HIDEOUS . The mom said ivory and when I got there everything was WHITE!!! Hello!! Then she plunked this ugly topper on top which didn't match AT ALL. The cake was lopsided...we put a folded piece of cardboard under one side to make it look straight . I can't believe I made her pay for this!!!!! But she said it was beautiful and that it was delicious... I really hate making these big cakes
OMG I can't believe this thread is still going! Boy, has it brought me tons of laughs and finally it is my time to share. This was like my fourth cake, and I don't know what I was thinking! The little boy wanted some kind of a Rock wrestler cake....yes, that is suppose to be the rock standing there in MMF, UGH! Then I had this bright idea to make some cookies for "fans" sitting in the stands, and when I had an extra, I ended up plopping him in the ring...not sure if the Rock was suppose to have torn his legs off or what, lol! Really, really horrible!
Okay, I couldn't resist....I was well "seasoned" by the time I did this cake, so I don't even have that excuse to use, but the shape of this cake is completely off, and it didn't look at all like a John Deere tractor! Oh well, not as bad as the first, but still an embarrassing cake to say the least!

All I keep asking myself is, "What was I thinking?"
If the pic doesn't show it's my Peacock cake which can be seen in my photos. Ugh! I have to wash my eyes everytime I see that darn thing!
LMAOOOOO @ washing your eyes!!!!....I think I posted one of my Uggo's before...but am currently searching my photo archives....I know I have a few that are not for the faint of heart...I will post a disclaimer when I add them...be forewarned...these are hurtful to gaze upon!
First cake the hubby and I made for my sis-in-law. It was totally unplanned, thank goodness. We had been out all day and at midnight decided to bake her a cake. For whatever reason we wanted to do three-dimensional star cake, it fell.
I guess that is what happens when two idiots decide to bake a cake after drinking beer all day
Thanks to whoever bumped the post..great fun here!
This was my first attempt at fondant. I thought it looked ok, but it tasted TERRIBLE. The cake was so dry that I never ate it and it began to mold (never using that recipe again!).

I'll get the Special Eye Wash or S.E.W. as it will now be known.
LMAOOO Christi...I think you might win this one...but did you have to put a stake thru its heart and kill it????????
What I envisioned? The bustling city street of Detroit we lived on (when it was safe) with its tree lined street and autumn leaves on the ground...and our lovely 2-story house and my Father helping me to learn to ride my bike...A precious memory to me ..he has been deceased for the past 5 years.
What I got?WTF??? Huge fleur de lis??? Greenish black grass?And apparently a slouching pedophile...trying to abduct a frightened girl from her bike in the ghetto.
Ribbitfroggie, my tractor cake is waaaay worse than yours:
Not only was the shape completely off, it was extremely lopsided too:
oh man well i am still brand new at cake decorating so everything i make comes out a little funky but i have a special addition for this thread for sure...
have you guys ever seen the movie santa claus conquers the martians? well this is what happens when the martians conquer santa!!!
LMAOOO Christi...I think you might win this one...but did you have to put a stake thru its heart and kill it????????
That was the hubby's idea when we both finally gave in and admitted defeat !
I could actually win a cake contest???? Maybe we could start a new competition!

I have tears rolling down my face from that description. You are hysterical!!
Oh man, I love this site! I wish I had a picture of the very first cake I ever tried to decorate, it was for my first daughter's first birthday party. To say things did not go well would be an understatement. Let's just say that I started it off by accidentally getting a fork stuck in the mixer, thereby bending the fork and one of the mixer thingies.
Anyway, here's a few of my earlier cakes, my medium was always cake sparkles, spray canned frosting, and tubed icing from the grocery store shelves. I also never leveled my cakes so they look pretty rough....

LOL! KayDay I can't stop laughing at your description! LMAO @ the frightened girl on the bike.. haha thanks for the best laugh of the day!
Thanks Kara and anyone else who got a smille from that...at the time I was so beat and tired I posted the cake for the contest anyway...and did a little write up on what it had been supposed to symbolize for me. ...people were kind...I wasnt crucified for it...lol.
Pottedmeatchunks....I give you the Velvet heart award....that takes alot of heart to post. I'm still trying to get my 1st pic from my brother. Delaware, I'm so glad you have a heart...you do deserve an award. You guys are tooo funny! Love it here!!!
Ummmm Christi. Speechless. I can't say enough. LOL LOL LOL Drinkin' and cakes don't mix. LOL LOL LOL At least you had help!
I didn't take a picture of my first ugly cake or the second one. I think this was about the 4th one. It was for my granddaughters class christmas party. The cake itself wasn't to bad but the lettering was terrible and I haven't a clue as to why I stuck those extra candy canes on top. Maybe I thought they wouldn't notice the writing and only look at the candy canes. I threatened my granddaughter with bodily harm if she told them I made the cake so she said her mom made it. LOL
oops gotta shrink it, I'll be back. Ok think it worked.
Worst cake pictures? Golly, where do I start? Time to get out the scanner.
I think every cake I did my first year of teaching myself how to decorate is probably the worst cake.. haha
I will scan/upload some pictures later today..
Ummmm Christi. Speechless. I can't say enough. LOL LOL LOL Drinkin' and cakes don't mix. LOL LOL LOL At least you had help!
So true! We did have a lot of fun, and the D driver told us he thought about commenting on how this would be a bad idea (how dare a 3-tierd cake at midnight?), but wanted he wanted the entertainment !
Christi, I told my hubby about your cake and we laughed once again. I'm still laughing. But I KNOW it had to be sooooo much fun. I'm so glad you took a pic and sent it over. I love doing cakes and my hubby so to share those 2....I wish. HA HA HA HA I just felt a moment....ahhhhhh.
my worst cake (even though I never told my son this,bless him!) is the cyberman cake, I know alot of my cakes need practice but this one took the biscuit, I was in a rush and ran out of sugarpaste. My son liked is so I suppose thats the main thing.
The picture that I took of my worst cake was too large to download on cc. I didn't realize it until the cake was long gone. I don't know if there is any way to resize it on my computer or not. I'm pretty new to cake decorating, so I have more flops than beauties. Oh well, I feel as though I am getting better. Everyone's worst cake so far, aren't bad. I've done some really ugly cakes, lol. At least I have fun with it.

use this site to shrink your pictures, it's free and fast. I shrunk mine down to 600 pixels and it came out all right. Well still weird but alright
