This is the worst cake I have ever tasted. I would rather eat cardboard.

This cake was a complete disaster. It didn't rise properly, the frosting was runny, and it tasted terrible.

I was really disappointed with this cake. It was dry, bland, and the frosting was too sweet.

I thought this cake was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This cake was a bit too dry for my taste, but the frosting helped to make up for it.

I would have liked the frosting to be a bit creamier, but overall this cake was a good choice.
