The Story Behind the Abandoned Wedding Cake

Mum finds abandoned wedding cake on the side of the road and now we all want to know WHY!?

Fifty Shades of Cake shared the sad image on her Facebook page explaining, “I would love to know why a wedding cake was left on the side of the road which we found on our dog walk today? Bad cake maker? Flavour not up to scratch? Wedding was a disaster?”

Her post received hundreds of comments from other curious followers some sharing a guess as to why the cake was just left on the side of the road.

Many concluding the bride was left at the alter and the wedding cake was just abandoned in a fit of tears.

Some suggested maybe it fell from the roof of the transport vehicle or was just simply forgotten.

Upon return this morning the cake was STILL just sitting on the side of the road. On closer look the mum said it seems it was a test cake possibly but still a lot of hard work went into the cake.

It included a chocolate cake on the top with a couple of dummy layers covered in fondant with sugar flowers as well.

The update shared today, “The saga continues! Curiosity got the better of me and clearly the rest of the locals! Went back to video, touch it, find out, examine! No one was home to ask why it was there, but I can tell you it is mainly display cake with evidence of tiers of chocolate cake on the top! Intricate sugar work, fondant and lots of hours to create I would say! (Not sure why it’s roadside, could have fit into a bin)!”

Can you help solve the mystery?

Very strange. We are in such a throw away society. I know parts of the cake were fake but those that weren’t? There are people starving!

Just imagining all that wasted time that has gone into making that cake, not to mention all those ingredients.

Lots of possible different scenario’s.
Sure is a waste of money and effort, because clearly some hours and ingredients went into making this cake.

Maybe they didn’t want it so they left it there as a prank. I wonder if the culprit watched for while to see id anybody took it or anybody’s dog any of it. I hope it hasn’t been baited at all.

I have no idea but even one layer of cake being thrown out is sad to me.

That’s just so random. Would love to hear the reason why.

No idea but whatever the reason, it should’t have been left by the side of the road?

Perhaps it was a cake for a final examination in cooking school and was given a bad score – wouldn’t want the reminder around so got rid of it on the side of the road.

I guess its a dummy cake or just a trial cake but even then they should kept it some where else instead of throwing it.

It says it is mainly display cake, does this mean not all the layers were actual cake? If it was just a practice, I can’t see it being too much of an interesting mystery to solve
