Expectations Vs Reality: 40+ Of The Worst Cake Fails Ever!!

The problem with the internet is that it makes everything look so easy. Take baking for example. Have a quick scroll through Instagram and Pinterest and you'll find countless cakes baked so perfectly that they barely even seem real. But they are, and they were baked by humans, so if they can do it, why can't you? It can't be that difficult...right?

Well, not quite, because as you can see from this list of epic baking disasters, expectation and reality are two very different things indeed. Don't forget to vote for the funniest!

Some of the Realities aren't that bad if you saw them without the Expectations.

What I noticed in 90% of the cases these fail videos:
Expectation: fondant used
Reality: butter cream used (+ maybe room temperature was too high)

And that is why, next time you get a quote from a professional cake decorator, you shouldn’t say “HOW much? But it’s only cake...!”
