If it only happens when you are braking I would suspect warped brake rotors. Other reasons the front end could shake would include unbalanced tires or the vehicle needing realignment. Whatever the case may be; driving a car in this condition is unsafe and you should repair it or have it repaired before you drive it again.

Why does a car shake when braking?

This would normally be down to either: Warped Brake Discs (in some counties these are called Rotors) where there is a small ripple in the surface of the disc. This causes the brake pads (which are flat) to make intermittant contact with the surface which causes a vibration. This "warping" is not always visible to the naked eye. Worn or Perrished suspension compnents. This can lead to the wheels moving around in an unctrolled manner during braking which can also cause vibration.
