When Photo Cakes Go Wrong
June 4, 2015 Karen noticed something a bit odd about her son's "sports-themed" cake:
;)
I mean, besides it being this ugly.
Here, let's take a closer look at that top picture, shall we?
ENHANCE!!
;)
Why, yes, that IS a watermark... and a file name.
So did the baker really just grab the first thing she found on Google Image Search??
Of course not.
It's more like the 10th thing she found on Google Image Search.
;)
I checked.
(If you'd like to play along, just type in "lacrosse sticks clipart.")
Bakers don't have to print the file name to wreck a photo cake, though.
They can also do this!
;)
Or this!
;)
Or the baker could leave off the image entirely, and just write the design number instead!
;)
Trust us, Rebecca, it's better this way.
You know how, in every crime show, they always find a hidden room with a whole wall covered in newspaper clippings & creepy photo collages?
NOW IT COMES IN CAKE!
;)
I like to think these are all the baker's victims.
"Looks like someone," [removing sunglasses] "GOT SERVED."
And finally, for you Doctor Who fans, here's how to take this famous Van Gogh print from the show:
;)
And make a Whovian cry until they laugh:
;)
BAD BAKER.

It's not 'bad baker' it's Tom Baker! Haa ha haaa. Sorry ;0)
I am a WHOVIAN and I screaming out in pain and outrage.
So was the last one made by the little baker who cried, "Bad Wolf?"
A vendor who a work with told me the other day that they ordered a sports theme cake for a buddy's birthday featuring The Dallas Cowboys logo. What he got was a cake with a cowboy all right BUT it was a cowboy with a horse not a helmet from the Dallas Cowboys! Well he took it in stride luckily and they had a good laugh about it.

All these cakes are just terrible, but that one with the disembodied head stuffed inside Fonzi's jacket.....well, adjectives truly fail me.
That last one... XD XD XD. I do wonder if they are even trying anymore.....
Can anyone tell me what the 'hair' is made of in cake #3? Because I really don't want to think that 'is' hair.
Are those printed on paper or edible icing? Because the outrage, methinks, would be worse if bakers had spoiled edible icing by printing their incompetence on it.
The Collage cake reminds me of the plant Audrey, Junior displaying its victims at the end of the movie Little Shop or Horrors.
I'd like to point out that the crime scene collaige (sp?) cake looks to be actual photos, not edible paper prints. The pictures are very shiny a la' glossy prints. Edible paper usually has a very matte finish look to it. So that's fun! ;)
Bwah, all the collage of doom cake is missing is the creepy red string tacked from picture to picture!
The Whovian cake is so wonderfully awful, it has possibly come full circle to be a win! Made me snort!
Well played, @SuBee
@ SuBee: Hahahaha!
@ Jodi: Or red 'X's over the faces...
@ Jen (Mistress of the Wrecks): Nope. Still just crying.
Photo collage cake: Just think if you were expecting the wreckerator to put your treasured photos on edible paper, and instead they just stuck the pictures on the cake. And ruined them forever. Let the weeping ensue.
Oh, that Doctor Who cake makes me weep.
(But I'm not a weeping angel!)
In the sports-themed cake, is the bottom picture upside-down? Looks like men's gymnastics rings to me.
So wrong. So, sooo wrong... all of these. ::sigh::
Let's hope Confirmation #315 works and Rebecca doesn't need to be confirmed for the 316st time. It has to be expensive buying all of those cakes.
ENHANCE! Super Troopers always comes to mind whenever I see or hear that, which is always a good thing. : )
Is it just me or does it look like the baker forgot to remove the backing off the edible image print before placing them on the cake? When I use edible images, they blend into the cake after a few minutes.
And the one with the "hair"...did anyone else notice the ombre' effect with the hair? LOL
So that Doctor Who cake was made by 6 rather then 4 I take it then.
Some cake wrecks I understand, because some things take skill and training, but if your problem is you're too lazy to cut something out with scissors...
That last cake breaks my heart. You don't mess with genius - not Vincent, not the Doctor.
Anyone else seeing Quidditch goals in the bottom picture on the first cake?
That last cake...it's a lie!!!
Can we find a crack in time to toss that last cake into?
Forget a wreck, that "Leandro" cake is magnificent! I don't care what anybody says.
Oh my gosh. That is just scary lol. All of these are hysterical especially the leather jacket cake one. Rebecca's is rather pretty though just ignore the other 315 attempts at it lol.
Amazingly, all the words are spelled correctly and the 1th one even has sprinkles.
Cake #3-poor Leandro. Fonztastic!
So, for the last one - Tom or Colin?
When is it going to be illegal to produce things this incompetently? I'll be the first to vote when it shows up on the ballot.
She said bad baker, so *obviously* Colin.
This act of aggression against Galifrei will not stand! >:C
Obviously the last one wasn't made by a "Tom" or "Collin" Baker. *insert snarky laugh here*
That lacrosse picture is number 14 on Google
