Wedding catering: What happens when it all goes wrong?

Getting married: It's one of the most important days in your life, something that can take years to plan, and is one of the few times when all of the special people in your world come together to wish you well. You want to entertain your guests and give them a day to remember.

Food gets people talking, and one of the centrepieces of any wedding catering is the cake. But what happens when your cake designer or wedding caterer gets it wrong?

CakeWrecks.com gathers some of the most horrific - and tragic - attempts to make a cake for the happy couple's big day. Ranging from sloppy icing and edible photographs right through to a model of a foot with a severed toe, these cakes have to be seen to be believed.

Perhaps one of the most unbelievable wedding cakes involves a tiered design with champagne flutes supporting two layers. These flutes are filled with water, and inside, the glasses contain live fish! See the fish cake here.

One way to avoid poor wedding catering is to research your choice of caterer thoroughly, and be sure to check the company or individual out on several web forums. User feedback is invaluable, and helps you to avoid trouble by learning from other people's experiences.

A bit of web research can go a long way, and can mean the difference between a day to remember, or a day to forget. Some useful checklists and words of advice can be found on WeddingGuideUK.com and WeddingPlanning.com.
