Usually, when there's a celebration, we love to order a cake. Whether it's a birthday, new job, wedding, or even just an average accomplishment, there's a cake for every occasion. However, over the years, lots of cake decorators have noticed that there is an uptake in the number of unusual or weird requests. Here are 40+ of some of the strangest cake orders that decorators have gotten.

Apologies Need to Be Made

Cake can make anyone happy, especially someone you may have wronged in the past and may need to apologize to. This cake decorator said that people would often order cakes with sorry written on them so they could apologize for whatever they had done.

Usually, this person really only made cakes that said 'sorry for your loss' or 'sorry to hear you're leaving,' but when the customer made this request, the cake-maker was speechless. It makes us wonder what they did in the first place!

Check Your Spelling

Ordering cakes over the phone is such a hassle. You may have to repeat your ideal cake order several times over and still end up with the wrong design. Luckily, the internet has been a big help in allowing people to write down their specific cake orders without having to talk to anyone.

However, one big flaw with this can be autocorrect, which seems to be the problem in this specific example. Instead of the cake saying 'sweety,' it actually says 'sweaty.' We hope whoever is getting this cake isn't too offended.

Trip to the Doctors

Going to the doctor's can be a little bit nerve-wracking. Therefore, this person thought that it might be best to calm down the receipt of this cake's nerves with this cake. The decorator had never been so confused when the request came in.

This person was going for their first colonoscopy, and if you've gotten one before, you'll know how hungry you are after. This will definitely go down a treat, and may even lighten the mood a little bit after a particularly invasive procedure.

The Tiger King

At the beginning of lockdown in March 2020, Netflix kindly gifted viewers with a six-episode series called Tiger King, which followed the iconic lives of zoo owners Joe Exotic and Carole Baskin in their feud over the exotic cat zoo in Oklahoma.

People enjoyed the show so much that they started to create memes, merch, and even a campaign to get Joe Exotic out of prison. On this occasion, this person liked Tiger King so much that they got a cake with stripes and a photo of Exotic with a tiger.
