Baby showers are supposed to be a sweet way to celebrate the pending birth of a child, with homely gifts and fluffy toys.But if these cakes are anything to go by, the usually sweet tea-parties appear to be morphing into a cringe-worthy equivalent of the synonymous hens night.Headless pregnant torsos, graphic birth scenes and newborns that resemble stillbirths are just a few cakes that have taken center stage at baby showers.
I'm coming out: A headless baby matches the headless mother on this awkward baby shower cake
The awkward cakes, compiled by Cake Wrecks, were emailed by offended baby shower attendees, or those with a strange sense of humour.
The website describes a cake wreck as being anything that is 'unintentionally sad, silly, creepy or inappropriate' - categories the all these baked goods easily fit into.

Benjamin button: A limb-less pregnant torso cake that appears to be wearing a hospital gown and giving birth to an old man
Peek-a-boo: These cringe-worthy birthing cakes are awkwardly pushy and R-rated
It is possible that a few of the R-rated cakes may have been made by a chuckling, sarcastic baker.
However some of the tasteless cakes are so disturbing that baby shower goers could find themselves a little queasy as they cut a slice.
Life-like: The fetal baby cake on a hospital try is more scary than sweet
Star-light surprise: This cake illustrates maternity wear gone wrong with a Cabbage Patch doll look-a-like baby
Whether it is a 'baby's coming
out' cake, one where a limb-less pregnant torso appears to be wearing a
hospital gown, or the too-realistic fetus cake, most of these cake
wrecks are downright disgusting.
As the iVillage put it: 'These cakes may have been labors of love, but we question why they were ever born, errr, baked.'
