Today, I went to pick up my sister's wedding cake. It was a nice day, the shop was close, and the cake wasn't too big so I walked. On my way back, I stepped aside for a kid on a bike, tripped over my shoelaces, and dumped my sister's expensive, custom-designed cake. The wedding is tomorrow. FML

Today, I stood too fast, got dizzy, and fell over. I fell on the grandmother of the bride, pushing her into the wedding cake table. Cake ruined, grandmother in hospital for a broken arm, and everybody mad at me. FML

Today, I was at my sister's wedding. Everything was going flawlessly. That is, until our visibly drunk mom started a punch-up over who got to cut the cake first. FML

Today, I was the maid of honor at my sister's wedding. I was the first one to walk down the aisle, where I managed to trip over a wire, shutting off the music and falling on my face. My family cheered and took pictures. FML

Anyone for cake?

Today, it was my boyfriend's mom's surprise birthday party. I was sent to pick up the very expensive cake and dozens of balloons. Not only was it windy and the balloons flew away, I tripped and dropped the cake. In the driveway in front of all their family and friends. FML

Today, as I was leaving church with a cake in my hands (mind you it was pouring, and I was in heels) I decided to walk on the road instead of the sidewalk so I could get to my car as quick as possible. Turns out, the road is slippery, and slipping means falling. With the cake. FML

Today, I was sitting in my room when my dad came in to ask if I wanted the rest of his cake. I'd made it for my cousin's wedding, and spent 2 days preparing it. The wedding is tomorrow. FML

Today, I spent $70 on party supplies for my sister's bachelorette party, another hour decorating, three hours baking and designing a cake, before waiting five hours to hear that she and another bridesmaid had 'moved' the party elsewhere. Cake anyone? FML

Today, I was at a friend's wedding and caught the bouquet. Everyone cheered, until I slipped on the flowers and fell flat on my back. FML

Today, at my mom's wedding, I tripped as I was walking down the aisle. I was holding the train of her dress. It ripped. FML

Today, my sisters and I were throwing my mom a birthday party. Since I'm not good at baking, I ordered her a really nice and expensive cake. As my daughter and I were headed out the door, she told me she had added some sprinkles to make it pretty. It was the silica beads from a package. FML

Why would you walk to pick up a cake like that? How stupid are you?

That's why the cake should always be driven/delivered.

#31 - There's this neat invention called plastic. They can make it as big as you want and make an easy to open case.

I'm calling BS. Any reputable baker is going to require they deliver the cake to the wedding.

Well what can i say, your ****** and you deserve this one. I agree with # 6 You could go back with the "rest" off the cake and maybe they can pimp it up? Anyway, enjoy the wedding and good luck! :D

You deserved it. I'm sorry, but you don't take a wedding cake and WALK with it. Especially since wedding cakes are usually pretty big.

All wedding cakes are delivered unless your idea of expensive is $6 cake mix. This is a lie

this is one of those times when you should avoid walking at all costs. get it delivered or drive yourself, turn really slowly, and have several people guarding it in the back seat to make sure it doesn't tip over. it does suck that the kid got in your way, but you put yourself in a situation where that was a risk.

Since teleport isn't functional yet, the next best transporting way would be by car, no matter how close it was.. (ok, if it was next door a car wouldn't help but if you should cross even one street you should've picked it up by car)
