It marks the day they can legally vote, get a tattoo, and gamble, but a teen's 18th birthday also gives parents the chance to embarrass them shamelessly. This time, as adults. Of course the first way you can remind your adult child that you're still in charge is via birthday cake.
And these parents went wild, went crazy, and took R-rated to a whole new level. These inappropriate 18th birthday cakes will make you cringe … and possibly give you some ideas for the future.

Can someone please check her ID? Or teach that kid that one drink is enough?
Congratulations!

The dad clarified when posting this photo: "My kid's 18th birthday cake."
