UGLY,. . . . . . there are much prettier cakes on this site.

I wonder how much they paid for that cake.

It's size is impressive but I don't think that it photographs well. It probably looked better in person (I hope) but I personally would not pick the design for myself.

i do not care much for the design...but the bride and the groom probably did because they were the ones who chose it (presuming)...

Wow! I like it too! Is it actually shaped like a ship and it's just hard to tell from that angle? I think it's too cool!

My first thoughts before reading the description were:

It's an ugly color
It looks lopsided
The decorations are way too small for a cake that size

Not impressed at all.

If each layer is 12" tall, how do you figure servings?
Even 2" x 1" would be like eating half a small cake. That cake is massive. It doesn't seem like it could taste very good.

I certainly would not have wanted it for my wedding cake. Not a pretty cake at all, I agree the flowers are much too small on that monstrosity of a cake.

that is one ugly cake. I wonder if it's one of those beauty is on the inside things or in this case it tastes good on the inside but just squint your eyes to look at the cake.

I thought it would be worse until I clicked on the link. Not a great cake at all. Maybe it tasted really good...

The shape looks hexagon to me and the flowers are horrid. If you look at the brides face it's like she's saying "what the....." If it took six pastry chefs to make that , I hate to see what they usually make. If they were going all out for this wedding, why didn't they just get Collette Peters to do the cake, I'm sure she would have come up with something much much better for the wedding.

Eww! That is one big fat ugly cake! I sure hope it tasted better than it looks. And whose idea was the style anyway, I wonder? I guess we will never know the answers.

It only took "2 hours to bake"... well if I had enough ovens to equip a cruise ship kitchen, and a staff of who knows how many, I could bake a cake that size in 2 hours too.

I have a guess about how they served it. I think each 12" tier is divided into (3) 4" 2-layer cakes (x 40" OMG...you'd need a forklift to lift the layers into place), with a cakeboard between the layer cakes, for ease in serving. I can't imagine how they would serve it otherwise.

It's not my style...

However, it's not hideous. Like the green/pink color scheme. Think the small flowers look like polka dots from a distance.

What a special day for the bride and groom. I always enjoyed Love Boat although now it would seem so unsophisticated and even silly....

Just because we don't like a cake's appearance, I don't think we should cut it down.

Obviously, the bakers/decorators thought they created a thing of beauty - and we all know that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
