Desserts don’t always turn out as sweet as intended. Every once in a while, the soufflé falls, the bananas foster singes a hairpiece, the crème doesn’t brûlée.
But sometimes an error isn’t technical. Sometimes it is but a symptom of a breakdown in communication between client and chef. And that’s where Cake Wrecks comes in. One of our favorite blogs, Cake Wrecks documents confectionery disasters resulting from said breakdown.
It’s easy to imagine the conversation that lead to the atrocity above, Cake Wrecks’ “Cake That Started It All.” The client obviously requested two lines, only the instruction to do so wound up misheard and, tragically, inscribed on the cake. Suzanne was probably pleased.
We love the pic below too, where the client’s color preference was likewise written in icing — and in the wrong color.
