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

My life is a romcom

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?

is this real? from my experience wedding cakes are delivered for that reason specifically.

#41, he said the shop was "close" you idiot, as opposed to far away

never EVER walk a cake. that was a bonehead move. always have it delivered by the professionals that made it.

The cake should have been delivered! But if for some reason it wasn't, you should have at least had the good sense to drive and bring someone else along to hold the cake on the way back so it wouldn't get ruined. And 41, the OP said, "close," as in nearby. :)

That's so funny, are you from New York? I saw someone drop a cake on Lexington in the UES yesterday, so you're not the only one (unless it was you!) ^_~ It'd make sense if you are, everyone in NYC walks, too much of a hassle to drive(for the people who even have cars). I don't think it's so weird to do this in an urban area where it's easier to walk down the block than navigate traffic. Hope the wedding goes okay =)

Who in the world WALKS with a wedding cake? No. Doesn't matter where you are. It's too important. Delivery, car, taxi if you have to.

wow. expensive wedding cake does not mean big. if its a small wedding it is common to have a small wedding cake that would fit into a cake box. by expensive it can mean there is a lot of detailed icing work. also since the place wasnt delivering i would guess it was a one layer cake. not everyone has a hollywood wedding with a gigantic cake.
