Are these the WORST wedding cakes of all time? The sad-looking creations that were somehow still served up on the big day

  • Photos prove that wedding cakes are not always magnificent centrepieces
  • Some look as if they have been dropped from a great height 
  • Others look wonky or as if they are melting

A wedding cake should provide a magnificent centrepiece for a bride and groom's big day.

But these photos prove the traditional bakes are not always attention-grabbing for the right reasons - and sometimes they're not even remotely close to what happy couple had ordered.

Many of the shockers - which compare and contrast the finished results with what the cake should have looked like -  have been featured on Cake Wrecks, a US-based blog dedicated to sharing images of hilarious bake fails.

Others have been shared online under the popular hashtag #weddingcakefail.

From creations that look as if they have been dropped before they went on display, to wonky decorations and melting icing, here's a round up of the wedding cakes you would never want to see at your own nuptials...

The bride and groom wanted a classy chocolate four-tiered creation dotted with elegant amber flowers

This couple received a two tier cake with huge black stripes and clashing yellow flowers - topped with a very unusual topper

In this photo it's not the cake that's the problem but the enormous table it's placed on as it completely dwarfs the small cake

One bride said she ordered a quirky topsy-turvy wedding cake with a black and white design (left) - but ended up with a cake that looked as if it would collapse at any moment with a shabby design (right)

This wedding cake looks as if it had been dropped but in fact the icing just melted as the weather was so hot

 One couple's wedding cake had a severe structural collapse and developed a huge crack in the bottom - but they managed to laugh it off and say it represented how life isn't always perfect

Epic fails. Too funny. Well, maybe not to the customers.

It's so important to use a real bakery, with someone who really knows how to decorate the cakes.

Mom's cake at her 50th was not what it should have been.

The layers of the top tier slid.

But she ordered it.

Looks like a lot of those cakes just are iced instead of having fondant on them. So, you can't get the same results. However, sometimes, you just gotta laugh and go with it. The first test of a new marriage, lol.

DH's niece had her sister make her wedding cake. It depicted a zoo and looked like a gray dung heap with plastic animals trying to run away.

Are you kidding?

The cake is the reward for getting all dressed up and sitting through the whole thing!

Some of those look like pictures from pinterest created by someone in their kitchen who used what they had. Oh well. Not every 'home cook' knows how to use fondant.

Mine had 3 layers, bottom was white, middle was lemon, top was white, buttercream frosting.

It was delicious!

I don't know what mine was and I didn't eat but the one obligatory bite. I'm not really a cake person

My sister's wedding cake was my vanilla cake recipe. She requested the caterers use it. I actually had to make it a few times to write down the recipe lol

 I prefer white cake.  I would want something simple, like the below.  I wouldn't want the flowers on top, and maybe have the pearls and ribbon in a color.  I'm really not a showy person, so most of the wedding fanfare baffles me, including the overly elaborate cakes.

Spoiler

That is really pretty DG. Let's hope it doesn't fall into the bad cake category when you get it made!

 That's not a worry. The bakery here has been in business for over 90 years. And we personally know the owners. They do fantastic work.
