Redditors slam a ‘disaster’ wedding cake made for a bride who was told the baker was a professional

A bride has shared her shock over the ‘disaster’ cake her mother’s ‘professional baker’ friend made for her wedding.

The Katoomba woman said her mother “pressurized” her to get a cake from her friend, who she said was a pro baker and ordered a “two-tier naked cake”, but she was devastated from when she saw the “crumbling atrocity” that was being committed.

She later found out that the girlfriend only baked as a hobby, knocking out $500 at the last minute for one more dessert on top of a series of other disasters surrounding her special day.

“My mother pressured me to have my cake made by her boyfriend, who is apparently a professional baker. They just sent me this photo of the process. Suffice it to say it’s not what I ordered,” the newlywed said in a post on Reddit.

She showed her the picture she had been given of the trail cake, a badly frozen two-tier cake with no decorations.

“I got my mom to admit that her friend isn’t much of a pro – this is literally cake mix in a box and ready-made frosting. She thinks it would look good if we add flowers,” the stressed bride added.

Her mother confessed to lying, saying that her friend had made “some cakes for her grandchildren” before.

Hundreds responded to the comments expressing their outrage at the shoddy pie job, with one calling it a “monstrousness.”

“Run, don’t walk, to your nearest bakery and order a wedding cake, because this… this isn’t it,” they wrote.

‘What the hell is this! Thank goodness you got the test so you didn’t get three levels of whatever this is on your wedding day,” said a second.

The cake is one of the many mishaps the bride faces as her wedding approaches. She had to make ‘drastic changes’ to her dress and her father was injured in an accident, so he may not make it

“I’ve tried to decorate and I’m not good at it. And even I can make it look better. That’s terrible,” a third added.

The bride said her mom is “doubling down” and insisting the cake will look good decorated with flowers, but she’s looking for alternative options.

“I’m glad we can laugh about it a bit, but to be honest, I’m panicking a bit,” she said.

“I’m going to call some bakeries today to find out what to do – I didn’t answer my mom who sent me the picture because all I can say is ‘wtf’.”

The cake disaster is one of the many mishaps faced by the ailing wife-to-be while her wedding is near.

She also had to make “drastic changes” to her dress at the last minute, her father was injured in an accident and may not make it through the day, and asbestos has been found at the planned ceremony site.

In addition, some of the wedding planner’s decorations have not arrived, her “anti-vax aunts” are in danger of crashing the gate, and “torrent rain” is forecast on the day.

“I’ve just been told that the smoking ceremony/welcome to the country I had planned for the morning of my wedding will have to be canceled or moved to a different, less personally special location because someone has decided to put asbestos in the creek.” dump,” she added. .

“Paying $500 for an express delivery cake and more than my dress was even worth in alterations, I’ve had to cancel plans and update relatives with an ever-changing itinerary, but this really broke me. If you’re thinking of just walking away, just walk away.’

Redditors have sent the woman hundreds of messages of support after she said she could cancel the day if her father couldn’t be there.
