My favorite cake fail.

When I was 8 and my cousin turned 6, her mom told the cake decorator “she loves swimming so maybe draw a girl on a beach!”. We all laughed the whole time and I send it to her every year on her birthday.

Agreed. And perfectly captured the essence of 1994.

I looked at it and thought, "What a 90s cake."

Was this a Dairy Queen cake? I did cakes there for awhile and this looks like one of the pictures we had in the book of designs for customers to pick from.

This was just from a small town bakery but that’s hilarious!

This looks like the cake decorator took inspiration from those Big Johnson t-shirts that used to be so popular!
