Great Expectations

I know we all love wedding wrecks with a schadenfreude-filled passion, but when it comes to what-they-wanted vs. what-they-got wrecks, believe me, it's not just wedding cakes:

You know those days when you wonder why you even bothered showing up for work? 

That's the top tier on the right.

 Ammi T. hoped to find a friend in her baker when she ordered this Toy Story-inspired Woody cake:

But instead she went to fecality, and beyond:

It's like two poop ropes shaking hands.

In fact, I think we're going to need a rear view on this one, don't you? [nodding] Yeah.

Hoo-WHEE! Saggy.

 Now, to be fair, I'm not sure how anyone would go about recreating this next cake exactly:

(What is that, printable fondant? It sure doesn't look like paper...)

 But regardless, this isn't it:

That moment when you realize the awful Pooh picnic wreck is an engagement cake.

And finally, Virginia K. wanted this shaped number cake for her eighteenth birthday:

 But instead, she celebrated her legal coming of age - and all its unlimited litigation possibilities - with this:

So many things to say, but I keep coming back to those color choices. "Ok, you know what I'm thinking? I'm thinking EARTHWORMS and MINT ICE CREAM. Can we make that happen? Yes? AWESOME."

Thanks to Rebecca, Ammi T., Anony M., &Virginia K. for that horrifying mental image. I mean, sure, I wrote it, but still. I BLAME YOU.

P.S. I realize this is probably the worst product to link after the whole "earth worms and mint ice cream" thing, but it made me laugh super hard:

Here For The Snacks T-Shirt

Comes in lots more colors and styles at the link - but sorry, no mint green. :p
