Bride makes her own wedding cake to cut costs on the big day & people think it’s ‘the ugliest cake I’ve ever seen’

THE typical wedding cake is lined with icing, decorated with flowers, tiered, and topped with a miniature bride and groom.

For one bride who made her own cake, this was the vision but wasn't the result.

A symbol of unity and celebration, to some people, cake cutting; is an essential part of the reception.

But what happens if the cake is lopsided and can barely stand on its own?

Reddit user Diced Tomatoes this was the case for one bride who attempted to make hers alone.

reported that the average wedding cake costs around $500.

While trying to minimize wedding costs, the bride decided it wasn't worth the money to order a cake.

Yet one trial run may have had her regretting this decision.

Diced Tomatoes posted a picture of her experimental baking session, and people were appalled by the product.

The caption on the photo reads: "Fiancé and I are practicing our homemade wedding cake. ..Fail."

Something like a leaning tower of wedding cake appears in the picture.

Instead of smooth, spotless frosting, the cake is crumbly and clumpy.

Four long tooth pics stick out from the top where the bride appears to have tried putting a second layer over it.

"One of the ugliest cakes ever," one user commented.

Another assured her: "I’ve seen worse, you can do it."

Others suggested solutions to her cake problem: "Freeze your cake before icing it. I freeze the layers (at least partially, cut, fill the layers, and freeze again. You can then do a crumb coat, and smooth it out but doesn't have to be perfect. Then you can do your final icing after that's firmed up."
