They say that a picture’s worth a thousand words. Well, some cakes are worth a thousand nightmares. Cakes are usually midnight-snack-fuel, but the Cakes With Threatening Auras Twitter shows us that they can be nightmare-fuel, too.
Scroll down, upvote the cursed cakes you liked the most, and let us know in the comments what the worst cake you’ve ever seen in your life was. Just make sure you’re not eating anything while you’re enjoying this list. I might have choked on my croissant when I saw some of these baked fails.
The Cakes With Threatening Auras Twitter account has more than 141k followers who came for the hilariously bad cakes and stay for the delicious(ly insidious) content. Meanwhile, in order to learn more about what not to do when baking cakes and where the line between good and bad cakes is, Bored Panda reached out to talented Canadian cake maker and designer Darci, founder of Kake by Darci. Scroll down for our interview with her.

I think they're anything but terrible. I wanna marry someone that loving and caring
Can someone please explain rick-rolling to me? I know that song, but not the term.
Load More Replies...What does 'rick-rolled' mean ? (sorry if i'm being a little dense...)
Load More Replies...Baker Darci told us all about the main major mistakes that people tend to do when making cakes. "I would probably say the most common mistakes are wrong order of ingredients added in to the recipe. Very important for baking as it’s a science!" she pointed out that we have to be very meticulous when baking.
Darci added that not weighing ingredients, as well as over- and under-mixing them can also be problematic. "All of these small factors can make or break the cake!"
According to the Canadian baker, the line between good and bad cakes becomes blurred if you overload them by adding too many unnecessary details. "I prefer simple designs and simple details. I feel like you can have a beautiful cake and go overboard with too much—flowers, candy, colors, textures. It can be a fine line between too much and not enough."
They’re getting divorced. Someone is celebrating. 😆
Load More Replies...I'll bet they are very happy and have a great but a quirky sense of humour !
This cake isn't cursed, its adorable! Are you saying cats are cursed??
Umm, I think it is the number and the cats position that makes this “cursed”.
Load More Replies...If it wasn't for the number this would be an adorable cake. But the number definitely ruins it given the positions and a common, vulgar name for cats...
Maybe it's a birthday cake and the person is turning 69? Who knows...
Load More Replies...I wonder if they were going for like a ying yang. If so that should've just made opposite color bellies. Otherwise I’m assuming the 69 is for the Cancer astrological sign lol.
Get your minds out of the gutter. 😉 This could very well be a cake for someone who's a cat lover and also a Cancer.
Sure, so you can have your cake and eat it too! /s
Load More Replies...This is no talent, where's the air in the bag?😂😂
Load More Replies...It's not cursed, the actual category is "cakes that have a threatening aura" and bp added the cursed part. Assuming it's threatening because it's so good and would fool most people at first
Load More Replies...Just like me to rip the "bag" open and get my hands covered with it, and then drop it in surprise.
There’s also a Cakes With Threatening Auras Instagram page, but it has just over 5.8k fans. So it looks like most cursed cake lovers can be found over on Twitter rather than IG.
The CWTA page first popped up on Twitter in January 2020 and has been documenting awful, truly awful examples of cake fails ever since.
We’re pretty sure that some of these cakes were made to be intentionally bad. At least we hope. However, others were the results of clumsy mistakes (and maybe Fate messing with some unfortunate bakers). So here are some cake-baking tips to keep in mind so that you can avoid giving your baked goods threatening auras with icing.
I do too, its simple and creative! love the butt cheeks
Load More Replies...when you know the youtube video "shrek is love" this gets so much weirder :D
Donkey went for help...but never came back for a decade. He saw an interesting boulder on the way.
Load More Replies...The blood of his last victim still on his cheeks he turns to the next child.
Pikachu looks like he is having an existential crisis or coming down after a "bad trip"
Baking cakes is exactly like brewing potions at Hogwarts: you have to follow the instructions exactly, otherwise, you’ll mess things up. Unless you’re the Half-Blood Prince, don’t go about improvising. If the recipe says to add half a cup of sugar, don’t plop in a dozen teaspoons of caramel. You can experiment when you’ve got the basics down tight.
You should also try to avoid using stale baking powder and baking soda, according to The Spruce Eats. If you have any left at home that’s older than half a year, toss it out and get some new products. Otherwise, your cake might turn out to be a flop. This is where the importance of proper labeling comes in.
How can you cut that cake I would save it as artwork and show it off. Though it was prob very pricey.
Something else to keep in mind is to not use cold ingredients. We know that you’re ready to make that amazing cake, but wait for your butter to warm up, so you won’t have globby chunks when you mix your ingredients.
Any single one of these mistakes could make the difference between a gorgeous cake and a cursed failure that gets noticed by the Cakes With Threatening Auras account.
Matrix.... https://mrscakes.wordpress.com/2012/04/06/the-matrix-4-2/
Load More Replies...It's a joke. It's from the "Simpsons" Season 3 Episode 12 when Marge finds out she got pregnant.
Load More Replies...I'm a fat woman and have been asked if I'm pregnant A LOT, this would be the perfect cake for me: No Baby, just cake.
Nice cake. I suspect that the caterer was told the buyer wanted nothing on top.
Or this was a gift for someone who whished for 'nothing' as his birthday present.
Load More Replies...--The unintelligent and/or apathetic worker "what do you want written on the cake" -- the person who buys the cake "nothing"
No reason necessary for cake. Actually, cake itself is worth celebrating.
I like it... it´s cute in a weird way and someone really tried hard...
Maybe someone that had to remove due to cancer and just did the reconstructive surgery?
Load More Replies...Just remember it is 6 to 9 months before you're shooting blanks. I have a buddy who didn't listen and accused his wife of being unfaithful.
It's actually 10-15 ejaculations and 2-3 months. So maybe your buddy needs to talk to his wife again.
Load More Replies...I guess this question is asked by everyone who is going through an existential crisis or depression.
Cause you have a dirty, dirty imagination lol.
Load More Replies...Happy anniversary mom, look we got you a cake with dad's face on it!........ also is there a mother version of this?
ya that- th- th- that's- uh- we don't uh- we don't talk about that-
Load More Replies...This is cursed, that is cursed.. Sorry, Mummy quote. But these cakes are terrifying!!
Load More Replies...Like one of the kids in Pinocchio 15 years later?
Load More Replies...Unfortunately there’s a lot of talent here but it’s been wasted on these monstrosities
Ugh! A really well made cake but the message makes me wanna take a shower, with lots and lots of bleach.
Okay, as a nonbinary person I'm not too into gender reveals. But all of that aside- who calls their unborn child a stud muffin? It's creepy
I mean...at least the cake looks delicious. But sexist quote. Also calling an unborn baby a stud is quite concerning...
I know it's exciting to find out the gender of your baby. I couldn't wait but ppl take it too far sometimes. Stud is a sexualized term. I've seen Tutus or touchdowns, Rifles or ruffles, guns or glitter. All awful and odd considering the gender reveal is literally just hey this is what genitals by child will be born with. The cake is well done tho.
I don't want to go to a bakery where they tell you how many calories are in the cake. Unless it's sugar free or sugarless, then it's got some major calories. I don't need that kind of negativity in my life.
I agree; if I'm going to eat cake I'm not worried about calories!
Load More Replies...Wouldn't expect to see that in a 'professional cake shop' but then again, looking at the other masterful examples...
Idk but we need to burn it then bury it the burn it again just to be sure then bury back up
Load More Replies...This looks like something out of those brand-named cookbooks from the 60s or 70s.
The only reason you would ever eat something this disgusting is if you're literally about to starve to death
Load More Replies...That's funny. Did you know the game was made after an actual person named Kirby.
Introvert life: Tired of being alone but you wanna be alone? Yeah, sure. Just be alone!
Technically there's thousands of microbugs that live all over us so you're never really alone.
If you think your stupid, you're not. Stupid people don't know they're stupid.
Load More Replies...Hmm...maybe make the face bigger? Anyway, this 9-year old will be traumatized. Especially if there's a party...
Did you know that Hannah Montana was originally gonna be called Alexis Texas
The cake isn't actually that bad, what it's based on is downright creepy
Oh! I thought that said third birthday, and I was like, well that makes sense, but then I read it a again and it is 33rd... OkAy
I actually lol'd at this. Juxtaposition of cutesy colours and the number associated with evil is 100% hilarious.
Some people hate others for the cartoons they watch.
Load More Replies...I remember I was at a restaurant years ago, and I overheard someone ask a server what a crab cake looked like. I'm wondering if this is what they were imagining.
(gonna get downvotes for this!) if you're in the US, you give this at the funeral?
Did someone put a cigarette out in that cake where the spot is or something? That would be threatening. This cake is just a friendly little guy
Cake is cake. Its all good to eat once you can get passed how it looks.
Imagine accidentally stepping into that, and ruining a masterpiece, that would suck!
How does this comment not have more upvotes? I'm a sucker for bad puns.
Load More Replies...A cake that would beg you to eat it because it knows it can’t live in that state.
His brother got so annoying so he decided to shut him up for once and scarfed him down! Mmm...

Load More Replies...Stuff of nightmares. Someone needs to fix it in post production before it’s released.
Ever since this cake Suzy often wakes up in a pool of sweat after yet another midnightmare... Mommy...
No, 2021 will be the cursed cake because of all the stuff that happened this year. A lot more people were alive New Years 2020 so it really was a happy new year.
Load More Replies...It's common knowledge that the M&M people are vaguely sexual.
Load More Replies...Oh I know this one.... this was from Amber Heard to Johnny Depp....
Chances r they both did those things and much more. And they r going to get off Scott free. But then again they r 'celebrities' and people r idiots
Load More Replies...Nothing starts a marriage off right like cake toppers of arguably the worst movie marriage ever
People want a relationship like the joker and HQ. I want a relationship like Gomez and Morticia Adams
Idk why the joker was abusive and used her.... Id much rather have a relationship like the Adams Family as well... Gomez worships Morticia and she allows him to be himself!

Nothing says "my children are my property and not people in their own right" than pigeon hole-ing them before they're even born. I'm off to shower in bleach again.....
Women shoot guns, my mom at 63 for her restricted gun license before me, (I was only doing it for my resume)
Okay, for all y'all who were asking what living in a "red state" meant in that other thread, this is what it means.
there's a lot to unpack here, but let's just throw away the whole suitcase...
Load More Replies...Someone didn't read the first part. Unless you're saying he's gonna send his gentleman gravy to Iraq but even that makes little sense.
Load More Replies...Break-up cake? You can at least yeet it at the person breaking up with you if you're upset about it.....
First thing I thought. Good on them for giving it a go.
Load More Replies...If I remember correctly it was for a baking competition so considering the high standard for those.. it's bad But for a home baker it would be really good!
Load More Replies...The smaller text is horrifying. Sounds like its time for this person to RUN.
I feel that a screenshot of the cake from Coraline is kind of cheating.
At this point they've realized 106 is a big number for a clickbait list and either got tired of copying cakes from their Google search or thought most readers wouldn't make it this far.
Load More Replies...I don't see how all of them are cursed, there are some ones in there, these people have talent! Also, why would you care what it looks like, it's cake JUST EAT IT.
The actual twitter account is "cakes with threatening auras" so if you look at some of the good ones with that in mind it makes more sense. E.g the really realistic Doritos one is good, but it's so realistic it's threatening.
Load More Replies...There are some well decorated cakes and then there are nightmare inducing cakes... But in the end, cake is cake! Just eat it all :p
Even the pickle hot dog one with dip inside would be good for a snack, but the only one I'm unsure of is the all hot dog cake.
Load More Replies...lol, I just came from Julie Simon's cake post and these were...something. But, some were pretty good! :)
A lot of time and effort went into some of these. As for the rest practice, practice, practice.
