“That’s It, I’m Cake Shaming”: 30 Funny Baking Fails That Made It To This Facebook Group (New Pics)
Baking is easy, a guy once told me, you just follow the recipe. Well, I could say the same about life, Andrew. After all, my soufflé falling apart is nothing compared to your marriage.
But there's a Facebook group that disagrees. Titled "That's It, I'm Cake Shaming," it has people sharing pictures of the worst atrocities they've seen at birthday parties, work anniversaries, weddings, and beyond.
Continue scrolling to check out the Frankensteins, and don't worry if you spot any that you’d still secretly eat — I definitely did.

LakotaWolf (she/her) 8 months ago
It would be hilarious if a copy of the divorce papers were layered in between layers of the cake! (Not the only copies as they'd get soggy, but would add an extra layer of hilarity!)

I actually used to refer to my mother as "Mothra" when I was a kid, like the monster from the Godzilla universe XD She had no idea what it meant and just thought it was an affectionate, if weird, nickname. I called her that because she WAS a monster XD

When my husband and I first started dating I loved to write and celebrate our "month" anniversaries. I've struggled all my life with dyslexia and it tends to rear it's ugly head when I'm writing sometimes. I wrote happy five moths on the calendar... and to this day we still tell eachother happy x moths. Sometimes it's the funny things like that will become traditions or inside jokes.

Who S**t On The Cake
Marie BellaDonna 8 months ago
I've seen a cake like this where this was the wedding cake, and the groom's cake next to it was a monster truck spinning its tires in the mud. So the brown on the wedding cake was supposed to be splattered mud. Still looks like poop without the context, and a groom's cake is silly and unnecessary, IMO, but hey, to each their own.

This isn’t too bad, actually. They didn’t let it cool long enough before adding frosting, so it’s a little melty. And then it looks uneven & chunky because there’s chopped up strawberry in the icing too. Easy fix: let cool completely, don’t mix in the berries & just sprinkle on top.
