The dinner game hijinks were a hoot and we were still on a high from them when someone motioned to us that it was time for cake. Yippee! We both LOVE cake!
If you will remember, when we met with the wedding coordinator upon our arrival at the resort, I was well prepared and not only handed her these two photos, but also some purple ribbon as well, which I’d bought back home.
Knowing that things at destination weddings don’t always turn out exactly as you imagine them, I didn’t expect our cake to look exactly like those photos.
However… well… have you ever been to that site Cake Wrecks? It’s a self-described “gallery of deformed, distasteful and bizarrely decorated wedding and birthday cakes”.
I think we may have something to submit.
DUN DUN DUN…
Can you truly appreciate the horror? No? Check out those first two photos again and then come back to this:
Photo by guest
Uh… GROOVY?
I won’t even waste my energy having a fit over the absence of flowers on the top (again with the flower fiascos?) because let’s face it, folks - even if they were dancing around on top and singing Viva La Vida Loca, no wreath of flowers could have saved this cake.
Once I got over my initial horror though, this became just another hilarious DW mishap. So once again, ON WITH THE SHOW!
Our guests gathered around to witness the massacre of the cake.
One of our awesome servers offered to hold my train for the momentous occasion and paused to give us a thumbs-up. (I love this photo - seriously, how funny is that?!)
Here we go! Smile and pose for Photophil!
Behold: the (what’s supposed to be epic) cake cutting close-up! (Snort, snort.)
Mr Breezy goes in for the kill, and ooooh, what’s gonna happen next? As you can see, random lady at the next-door table is also eager to find out. Hmm… she looks downright petrified.
Chill out, random lady! Mr Breezy is a perfect gentleman. Aw… see? Ain’t he sweet?
Uh, wait a second… hey… wha-… wait… what’re you…
… oh no he di-in’t?!?
CAKE SMASHHHHHH!!!
GAHHHHH!!!
For the record, I once told Mr Breezy that if he ever pulled this kind of trick on me on my wedding day, I’d divorce him on the spot.
He claims it wasn’t valid because I said it more than 6 months in advance and his memory doesn’t go back further than that. Can you believe that caca?
Hey Mr Breezy… SURPRISE! Your wife can dish it too. TAKE THAT.
Mr Breezy: “That just confirms I married the right girl.”
OK OK, so I made fun of how the cake looked but I will gladly admit that in this case, looks were deceiving - it was absolutely delicious!
Which is really all the guests cared about… especially Mr Breezy and Mr G.
It was a wonderfully funny (and scrumptious!) wedding dinner and the service was amazing. Honestly, I still can’t believe we only had two servers for sixty guests… the servers at the Majestic Colonial are super fantastic and I’m very grateful for them.
That said, we were running a bit behind schedule. Not that our “wedding coordinator” was anywhere in sight to tell us that though. *Sigh*
It was time to high-tail it to the disco and let loose (even more, if you can believe!).
Amazingly, Photophil Steingard and Michael Steingard did not get any cake on their camera lenses during the documentation of this cake wreck.

Haha, I love you Breezy - you have the best attitude ever. I <3 your recaps
OMG, what is up with the wings on the sides? At least you had fun through it.
Even with the cake mishap, it still looks like you guys had a blast! And I love that the waiter holding your train is giving you a “thumbs sideways”! ahahaha
Wow, that’s some pretty impressive cake board decorating. I think the thatching just adds that special touch, hey?
I’m glad it was tasty, or that would have been doubly disappointing.
Well, that cake is certainly…uhh…memorable…
You two seem like the cake-smashed-in-the-face type 
I love your recaps!
haha I love this post! 
Thanks for sharing… the cake sure is memorable!!!
Hahaha, that cake is so… flat! I love it! I’m glad it was tasty, though. Awesome post.
seriously u just radiate off the pages, good thing the cake tasted yum!
Um, is it me, or did your cake have wings? Were they at least edible?
Love it! CakeWrecks has instilled a deep love of terrible cakes within me! Make sure to check out the Inspiration vs. Perspiration entry, just for persepective. It could have been a lot worse!
Hee, it looks like maybe the cake you had COULD have looked like the picture but deflated before you got there. Poor cake!
You guys are hilarious - glad the cake at least tasted good!
Mr.Hudson told me the same thing-that if I smashed the cake in his face he was divorcing me on the spot. We actually have a picture of when he changed his mind. He looks so mischievous! Needless to say, I won. He had cake EVERYWHERE. *evil laugh*
The ribbon was supposed to *accent* the cake, not cover it! And what’s up with the swirls? Was the decorator already into the rum?? I love that you have a sense of humor about it! And if it was delicious, I’m sure no one else noticed!
Wow. Sorry for the cake disappointment, but seriously you guys know how to have fun!
That photo of Mr. Breezy kissing your cheek with frosting everywhere, is completely priceless!
I love love love the pictures!!! I would love to send this post to my FI but I’m going to wait til after our wedding haha he’s already promised not to and I don’t want him getting any ideas lol
I just love that you had such a good sense of humor about it! Your wedding truly looks like it was a blast!
I think it was the WEDDING COORDINATOR who got into the rum…but your pics are adorable Mrs. Breezy. Your pics were AWESOME..so what if the cake had wings and crazy dee-zines on it? You could SMUSH it and have fun with it and got great pics courtesy of the wedding planner, Ms. Bacardi (lol) ..at least it looked like it was delicious.
It could have always turned out like this:

Looks like the cake was smushed, but I still think it’s a pretty cake! I can only hope for an attitude like yours on my wedding day!
What a caketastophy! (Got that my Bruschetta? )
What is with the wings on the “stand”?
I love that you two had so much fun with the cake You are SO CUTE!
Oh wow. Wow wow wow! This just made me laugh so hard!
While the cake leaves something to be desired, you guys make cake smashing look so fun!! Don’t tell Mr. PT that!
You have such an awesome attitude! The icing off of the cake is crazy. I love the shot of you & Mr. Breezy with cake all over your faces!
This was hilarous. I love that you were able to just roll with it and not let it ruin your good time.
@furelysse: Haha, I know! It wouldn’t be half as crazy looking if it weren’t for those wings, right?
@CCR: We didn’t try to eat the wings, no. I think they were actually just icing drawn onto the platform..?
@mrshudson: That’s great. Even though I dreaded being smashed with cake, it turned out to be so much fun, I wouldn’t have had it any other way.
@bellenga: Too true. Ouch.
@AliCherri1: Caketastrophy! Brilliant!
I just procrastinated on going to the gym by reading all of your recaps - you are SO gorgeous and the two of you make a beautiful couple. Your wedding seems like a blast - and definitely has a number of elements I want to copy. Your friend/officiant was hilarious. I know it was a few months ago, but congrats!
You two are so cute and what a great sense of humor! Way to take it all in stride Mrs. SB!
You are so optimistic about everything. You are way too cute, you’ll be my model for how to not become a bridezilla or cry if things don’t go always exactly according to plan.
Looks like you guys had a great time! Don’t know what those cake makers were thinking!
Great post! Thanks for the tip on the Cake Wrecks website. We have one to submit too! I burst out laughing when we saw ours. It was ironic because I thought no flowers because the cake would “speak for itself”. And boy it did!
ahahaAHAHaHa
Wait, that reminds me of what happened during my last birthday party where I encountered 2 surprises: the party, and the cake smashing on my face.
Cake is so much fun.
Aw, its not SO bad- I’ve def seen worse, and not just at cakewrecks
You crack me up. It could be worse…but seeing it next to the inspiration photos? You just have to wonder sometimes.
Oh I love you Mrs Breezy! I think I would’ve crapped myself had that shown up as my cake, but at least it tasted yummy!
loves it! i love how you never let the minor mishaps keep you from having fun on your wedding day!
haha! i didn’t think it was THAT bad (honestly, could be worse, rite?). at least it was tasty and you guys had fun.
Yaay for the Seabreezes!
Haha - great attitude! It still looks like you guys never stopped having fun, and that’s the important part! And now, you have a funny wedding mishap story to tell at parties.
sometimes reading your stuff is like looking in the mirror for me… well, me if i was polish and reeaaaallly reeaaaallly hot, that is.
Ha!! I love it. You guys are so cute, I can’t stand it!
Oh, and I have NO IDEA what our cake will look like…just that it has 2 tiers. This will be…interesting…to say the least.

About Me: Planning a destination wedding by the sea should be (oh no she di-in't…) a breeze (…*sigh* yep, she did) but when you've never been to the Caribbean, your powers of imagination are really put to the test. Luckily, I'm 90% resourceful, creative optimist (and kooky, neurotic practicalist-if-that's-a-word for the other ten). Other than writing about our week-long celebration of family, friends, laughter and love, I adore books, shoes and… you guessed it… long walks on the beach.
