According to TheKnot.com, June 22 – 28th is Cake Week! Who doesn’t like cake?! I mean, that is one of the best parts of this job: eating cake. In celebration of cake week, we will be posting something about cakes every day.
What better way to kick off the week than to get it goin’ by laughing out loud. At Southern Event Planners, we like to laugh. Let’s face it, without laughter, life is just stressful.
One of our favorite blogs is Cake Wrecks. The name says it all. This crazy blog showcases the grammatical messes, misspellings, and the downright weird. Lucky for us, they feature wedding cakes too!
I have spent hours reading the Cake Wreck’s posts, and my mind goes from “Aww those poor clients!” to “Oh. My. Goodness. I can’t believe these cake people get PAID to do cakes like that!”
Example Number 1:
Cake Wreckporter Karin submitted this wedding cake. I’m not sure if it was her cake or not, but if you can’t tell, those are little fish made out of what I assume to be fondant or gum paste. Mind you, it’s not just one decorative, elaborate fish – oh, no - it’s hundreds of floppy fondant fish. Now, I’m sure there’s a story behind this idea, but…it looks a little gruesome and well, icky to me. I love how the figures of the bride and groom are proudly displayed on the mountain of fish.
And if you want to have words on your wedding cake, PLEASE think again:
Yes. It’s real. And yes. It says “weeding.” Maybe they met while doing yard work? No? I tried…
So go check out Cake Wrecksand see what you can find. They update daily, and there never seems to be a shortage of Cake “Uh-Oh’s.”
