Oops! They Did It Again

Will you guys ever get tired of seeing wedding missed marks? 'Cuz I'm thinking, "no."

Let's test that theory, shall we?

 

What the bride wanted:

What the bride got:

That'll buff out.

 

A lovely leaf motif:

And a lovely...oh good grief:

Actually, that leaf design is so popular I have two wedding wrecks based on it:

Whoah. This baker needs to make like a tree, and get out of tree decorations.

(Hm. I feel like that line didn't go quite right. Maybe I should follow it up with something clever.)

So.

YEAH.

(Theeere we go.)

This next one's in reverse order; here's what Anthony L's bakery replaced another bakery's initial wreck with, and with only an hour and a half to do so before the wedding started:

Not bad for less than two hours' work, right?

 

Especially when you compare what the original cake (again, from another bakery) looked like:

Am I the only one who thinks this looks like Play-Doh? I keep expecting it to spring to life, claymation style. And then maybe turn into a giant demon dog and terrorize a nerdy New York accountant.

Just me?

 

Here's a fun, modern pattern:

Aaaaand the fun stops HERE:

It's never a good sign when your cake is crying.

 

Goodness gracious, great balls on wires!

Seriously. They're like shiny little bubbles of joy - totally cute.

 

These, on the other hand, are just...

...balls.

 

Thanks to Krista V., Emily B., Allison I., Anthony L., Tempest J., & Sarah B. for feeding our horrible wedding wreck obsession.

P.S. In case your life was missing a set of cat butt magnets, I found you some:

There's also a set for dogs.

You're welcome.

Who says you have to have a white wedding? These bright beauties are proof you can have your color and eat it, too.

Daisies are red, violets are blue...

Okay, before we head to the Epcot bunker: they're actually hand-painted poppies, and they're beautiful!


Orange you glad I found this gorgeous cake?

Such a great color. Everything should look that cheerful.

Or, if that's too much orange (never!), here's a way to stand out with classic black and white:

Look at the little bows! Clever, indeed.

 

This mellow yellow is a stunning way to add some unique detail:

Okay, those may actually be daisies.


Still, I'm a girl who wants more bang for her buck:

BANG!
I love the vintage feel.

For a more elegant style, this bakery muted the colors and added more feminine detail:

Those piped pearls are divine!


If this doesn't make you green with envy, I'm not sure what will:

Wedding in the garden, perhaps?


How about a classic design with a kick?

Going green has never been more tasteful.


This blue beauty was inspired by sun-printing:

Totally mod - and what a cool technique!


Moving down the spectrum, these violet violets are just adorable on a modern cube cake:

Simply beautiful.


And if you can't decide on just one color, why not use them all?

I love love love this striped summertime sweet. I only hope they used Fruit Stripe gum for wedding favors.


However, I don't think I've ever found a wedding "cake" I love more than this:

Rainbow-colored cake spheres? Roy G. Biv would be proud!

Happy Sunday!
