funny girls birthday cake fails

You really do have all the right intentions. You want a simple, pretty princess cake that features towering spires and glowing gowns, and that's exactly what you order. But the big day comes and you go to pick up the decorated dessert, and you find... a glorious birthday cake fail that'll leave you -- and your daughter -- in tears.

Somehow saying "it's a birthday party ... for a little girl" doesn't always mean the cake decorators think things through before they pull out their piping bags or roll out that fondant.

But don't take our word for it. These girls' birthday cake fails will have you questioning just how these passed any sort of inspection.

We can't believe #11 is real! But real, it is. Which one is your favorite?

Either she's wearing a brown skirt, or sitting in a tub of her own doodoo. You decide.

My Little Pony

"I would like My Little Pony on the cake, thank you!"

Well, this is the literal order. Let's hope she can read, at least.

Double the Fun

Twice the babies, twice the recognition. You can't let either one of them feel left out, so just make it plural.

"Towers"

Once you see it, it can't be unseen. Those towers are standing just a bit... erect, no? (Sorry.)

Lilo & Stitch

I think that's exactly what every fan had in mind for a cake. Let's just imagine how the conversation went down with the bakery.

"I'd like a cake with Lilo & Stitch on top. That cool?"

"Yes, got it. Pick it up next week."

A Possible Butterfly

"Can you make a butterfly cake?"

"Yes, absolutely!"

Ask for references next time, maybe. Or at least ask if they know what mold spores look like.

Cinderella, Is It You?

We think, we think, that might be some sort of princess. But there's no way to confirm that.

R.I.P. Cinderella. How we hardly knew thee.

Can anyone really tell what this one is? It might be three different handprints, but it's still one great mystery.

Maybe "photo or written?" should become a standard question at any bakery's ordering service. Just a thought.
