Imagine this situation: you need to buy a cake to celebrate a big milestone. It could be a birthday, a retirement party, a graduation, anything really.

You order the cake, you pick it up, and then you get home and open the box…and it’s not pretty…

In fact, it’s a DISGRACE.

Or, maybe you try to cook something in your own home. You get all the ingredients prepared, you fire up the oven, you put that baby together and you are so excited to see how your masterpiece will turn out…and then you are greeted with a horrific disaster.

Epic cake fails come in many shapes and sizes! Let these fails be a warning to you to be very careful in the cake world out there!
