Sweet, beautiful, and eye-catching! Cakes are one of the most popular parts of a person’s birthday. Your birthday celebration wouldn’t be complete without these delicious and tasty desserts. Many people went all out by preparing the biggest and most creative cakes you could ever since.

Here is a list of 50 cake decorators who took instructions too literally!
