Cake. It’s the ultimate comfort food that can make anyone feel better no matter what has happened? Right? Just think about it. We celebrate occasions with cake and show sympathy with cake. From happy times like birthdays, weddings, or graduations, to sadder times like a recent death or someone moving away from town or leaving a job, cakes are always on the menu for any event. So it should only make sense that people would choose to give a cake to apologize as well. We all laughed at Kristen Wiig’s “carrot” cake in Bridesmaids, which displayed the words “I’m Sorry” prominently in icing. Perhaps her character was on to something. Apology cakes are more common than you might think, and here are some of the most hilarious cakes people have used to apologize.
Sorry it’s not pizza

This cake doesn’t give us any of the details about why the person who gave it was apologizing, but it does let us know that the recipient preferred to have an apology pizza. At least whoever bought the cake used red icing to somewhat look like a pizza. Too bad it probably did not taste like pizza. Then again, if it did, that would taste really gross for a cake of course. The heart shape is also a nice touch to convey feelings of remorse. Hopefully the recipient accepted the apology for the deed that was done as well as for the fact that this cake is not a pizza. After all, it should be the thought that counts not the cake that counts, right?
You’re the crazy one

It has been said that there is at least one crazy person in every family. But if you don’t know who it is, then it just might be you. Once you own up to the fact that you probably are the rotting branch on your family tree, you should probably apologize to anyone who has had to put up with you all of these years. Since you likely mooched off of them too, it would be a nice gesture to give them a cake. While one cake couldn’t possibly make up for all of the times you let your family down, or for all the free meals they provided you, it couldn’t hurt. The hardest part is knowing what to say. If you’re at a loss for words or have way more to apologize for than you do icing, just write “sorry.” A cake is worth a thousand words.
It was an accident
Via: reddit.com
Usually the kind of person who willingly apologizes for his or her faults is the kind of person who did those faults by accident. An even kinder person is someone who apologizes not only for something he or she did by accident, but also for something he or she thinks might have happened. Take for instance, this person who apologized for maybe peeing in a friend’s dryer . . . by accident, of course. Most people would never mention such a feat, especially since it would dry and leave no trace of evidence other than a musty smell. This person felt compelled to apologize, however, and did it in the most delicious way possible. Nothing makes up for musty pee in an appliance like a double chocolate cake.
A neighborhood nuisance
Via: cakewrecks.com
There are plenty of advantages when it comes to living in your own home, but there are also some disadvantages. A lot of what is good or bad usually has to do with who you have as neighbors. Then, there is the presence or absence of a home owners’ association that can make things even more cumbersome. The best you can hope for in any case is to have a good relationship with your neighbors. Maybe then they will respect your property and not be any trouble. The next best thing you can hope for is that whenever they do cause problems, they feel bad about it and apologize. One sleepless night and a trash can soiled with vomit doesn’t seem so bad if you get a delicious cake the next day. Besides, if they had to puke on something, they could have picked much worse objects than a trash can.
The apology angel
Via: trendzified.net
Few things look sweeter than an angel with colorful rays accenting its wings. That was the hope at least when someone chose this cake as a peace offering for doing not one but two wrongs to a friend. It’s never a good feeling when you find out that your sibling and friend have been connecting on a romantic level, but at least this girl apologized for it. While she was saying her apologies for making out with the brother, she thought it best to go ahead and throw in another sorry for stealing her friend’s shoes. That way she could go ahead and get everything out in the open so that nothing else would stand in the way of their friendship.
MILF remorse

What’s worse than making out with your friend’s brother? How about sleeping with your friend’s mom? Ouch. No amount of making out with anyone or stealing all of the shoes you own could compare to this. Naturally, no words that could come out of the guilty party’s mouth could bring comfort for this sinful act. So that is why he decided to smooth things over by writing it out in icing on a delicious cake. While this gesture can in no way undo the wrong that was done, it will at least give the friend a bit of comfort with a sweet treat, just like the cakes mom used to make. Maybe he will share a piece of cake with his mother, so that she can have her cake and eat it, too.
Sorry about the crabs
Via: cakewrecks.com
When it comes to getting a gift from your significant other, the only kind of crabs you would ever want to receive would be in the form of those that come on a seafood platter with a side of butter. If any other type of crabs is transferred, then a big apology is order. Make up sex will probably be out of the question for some time, so the next best way to say you’re sorry is going with something sweet to eat. A cake would be the natural choice, especially since poor Dana obviously had this tragedy occur so close to her birthday. She probably used her birthday wish to wish the crabs away. Whether Dana accepted his apology or not, he still gets some points for apologizing in such a sweet way (literally).
Gender reveal cake
Via: cakewrecks.com
Talk about the ultimate gender reveal cake. If only this person’s gender were revealed a little sooner, there would be no need for this cake. This apology had to be an embarrassing mistake to admit to, but not near as embarrassing as the mistake must have been for the person whose gender was actually mistaken. Perhaps he was caught entering into a transgender bathroom and caused a bit of confusion for the offender. But it could have been something much more intimate that caused the gender reveal, which would be an even more embarrassing scenario. Who knows? All we know is that the recipient of the cake was mistaken for being a woman. It takes a lot of guts for the person apologizing to bring up this mistake again, though using blue icing for the writing gave this cake a nice “manly” touch.
No parental approval
Via: funnycakepics.com
Few things can stifle young love like a parent disapproving of your significant other. While you may know that your parent has a strong distaste for your boyfriend or girlfriend, it gets even worse when the boyfriend or girlfriend knows that as well. There is little you can do at that point to make your boyfriend or girlfriend feel better about the fact that your parents are not welcoming him or her into the family circle with open arms. The least you can do to build his or her confidence is to go the extra mile to show your love. If that doesn’t work so well, you can always go to plan B and bake a cake that apologizes for your dad’s evident hatred. Nothing heals the heart, soul, and mind like eating your emotions with extra icing.
Unconditional parental approval

The flip side of having a parent hate your significant other is having your parents think your boyfriend or girlfriend could do nothing wrong. Getting caught in this act probably embarrassed the parents just as much as it did for you and your main squeeze. In that instance, most parents would just try their best to act normal and go on as if they had never seen anything. But not these parents. They love the girlfriend so much that they had to go the extra mile and let her know that no amount of dry humping their son could diminish their love. Naturally, this was too awkward to say to her face, so they chose to say it with a cake. This gesture leaves us to wonder what they might have given her had they caught her and their son going at it without clothes.
Hope you have insurance
Via: eonline.com
What could be worse than having your car wrecked? How about having a friend or family member be the one who was driving. At least if you were driving, there is nobody else to blame. Just when you think it can’t get any worse, consider that the person who borrowed your car not only wrecked it but did so by running over you. Talk about having a bad day! There is little that can be said in such a situation to bring comfort. Perhaps that is why the person at fault chose to use a cake for comfort. That was probably a good choice as being hurt and not having a vehicle leaves one with little else to do besides lie around and eat cake. Maybe the injured party has insurance, both car and health.
Tased and confused
Via: community.babycenter.com
Sadly, we have no way of knowing the backstory behind this cake. Was it a cop who had to taser someone, or maybe an everyday person trying out a taser who happened to get too close to a friend? While it would be interesting to know what caused the tasing, the important part to note is that someone was tased. So in order to shock back that person’s senses, the guilty party decided a sugary dessert was in order. The guilty one even went a step further by drawing out a nice little illustration with the help of some colored icing. It was probably a wise choice to go with gel icing, since we are sure that the person who was tased felt like a glob of jelly for a while.
Flaming forgiveness
Via: thechive.com
From getting run over by your own vehicle to getting tased, it looks like a lot of unexpected tragedies can happen that are worthy of a sincere apology, complete with icing and sprinkles on top. Just when you think nothing worse could happen, someone gets set on fire. That might just be worse than getting tased. Again, we have no knowledge as to how the fire was started or how it was transferred to the person. But we can all agree that a heart-shaped cake is the least that the person who started the fire could do to try and help things blow over. Despite the pain that was obviously involved in this offense, maybe the guilty person’s sweet attempt at an apology can rekindle the flames between old friends (pun intended).
A deadly offense
Via: reddit.com
This cake alone lets everyone know that regardless of whatever led up to these events, it was one rough night for the people involved. Who knows if the blackout was caused by illness or intoxication, but is that really the point? No. The point is that not only did this person pass out, but he or she then tried to commit murder. They were obviously in a public place too, since this almost led to them getting arrested. Did the blackout and attempted murder lead to the almost arrest, or did the almost arrest lead to the blackout and attempted murder? That is about as debatable as the chicken or egg coming first theory. In cases like this one, it is best to skip the protein all together and go for dessert. Preferably in the form of an apology cake, with black icing to match the mood.
Satan and sprinkles
Via: imgur.com
The only thing worse than a friend or family member attempting to murder you would be if he or she attempted to sacrifice you to Satan. There is no right way to apologize for such an act, so you might as well make it as sweet as possible. And by sweet, we mean with icing and sprinkles and a little smiley face at the bottom. Better make the icing white and pink as well to send off a peaceful vibe. On second thought, the rainbow angel cake would have been a better choice for this one. It is unfortunate that your buddy drank the Kool-Aid and got in on the cult, but try to look on the bright side. You know what goes well with Kool-Aid? Cake!
