What's a Wreck?

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.

Now, don't you have a photo you want to send me? ;)

Happy Labor Day!

I'd like to wish you all a very happy Labor Day in true Cake Wrecks fashion.

(So, you know, you might want to put that coffee down.)

Can I get a virtual drum roll, please?

[cymbal crash!]

Amanda N., here's a cake that doesn't need any cutting remarks from me; no matter how you slice it, this baby is hands-down the best gut-buster I've seen in a looong time.

Bonus Pun: Say, do you suppose this bakery delivers? (Booyah!)

That writing on the sign is beautiful... too bad...

September 7, 2009 | Unregistered Commentermandi

Oh dear lord.

Yet another nightmare to haunt me for weeks....

=D

September 7, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterMoonManandBallerina

That is the creepiest cake I have ever seen.

September 7, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterNani

That's all folks? Isn't a birth the beginning? And I don't want to get started on how unappetizing a surgery wound cake is.

WV-eurgin Eurgin see your lunch again if you look at that cake too long.

Most of the horrible cakes I see on this site I think I would eat after scraping some icing off.
A C-section cake? I don't think I could go there.
Blerggg

this was great!

Most. Disturbing. Cake. Ever.

September 7, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterGeri

This is so disturbing! What is the "That's all, folks" supposed to reference? A much-needed C-section? So strange.

September 7, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterYou Nanimous

No way!!!

(Great puns btw!)

September 7, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterS3XinthePantry

I will never understand these "protruding belly" cakes! As a woman who's given birth twice (via caesarian section both times), I can't say there is anything appealing at all about eating such a cake. Booyah, indeed!

September 7, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterVickie

Looks like that mom was having a c-section...

bad idea for a cake.

September 7, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterHeather

That is so repulsive! Ugh!

September 7, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterCaitlin

my but that's a gross little cake. I've got this sick desire to get one for my friend's baby shower...

September 7, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

Oh my GOD! Now I know why my husband was so disturbed by my c-section. Hmmm...I'm thinking anniversary cake here :)

September 7, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

I love the new look! Happy Labor Day! Perfect "labor" cake!

September 7, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterCanCan (Mom Most Traveled)

What a great way to celebrate my birthday -- by seeing this "birth" day cake! (I was born on Labor Day, too) ;) The cake is truly disgusting.

September 7, 2009 | Unregistered Commentermisseditor

AAGGHHHH! an Alien.

September 7, 2009 | Unregistered Commenterdiddleymaz

Wow, that is truly disturbing. I can hardly wait for an episiotomy cake! Maybe with licorice stitches! Mmm...

September 7, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterLesley B.

Whoa! Run away, run away!!!

September 7, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterJanella

Great. I'm pretty sure I'm going to be too frightened tonight to get any sleep with images of bloody wounds and baby hands dancing in my head. Ew ;)

Whoa! Run away, run away!!

September 7, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterJanella

Perfect.

I love it.

P.S. My word verification to post on your blog is 'hymen'. Even more perfect.

September 7, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterAndrea

WTH?

/baffled

"That's all folks?" Just how many babies did the cake recipient have?

Is this an Octomom cake?

I guess we can be glad that's not a Looney Toons hand sticking out.

And 20 lashes with a wet noodle for the bad pun, Jen. =P

September 7, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterSharon

*falls to knees, lift hands to the heavens and screams* WHYYYYYYYYYYYY?!?

September 7, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterGiana

I don't think I'd want to be in the room when someone cuts into that cake.

The sound of screams are already haunting me.

September 7, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterAnnapolitan

Is it supposed to be a C-section or a pro-abortion cake? Either way, EEK!

My husband just saw the picture...I think his brain snapped. He's babbling now.

September 7, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterLizzy Leigh

ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!

September 7, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

This looks like a scene from my oldest son's birth video.

September 7, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterLeslie

Oh dear. You know, I had a c-section, and I got my beautiful daughter because of it. But that cake....*dry heaving*

September 7, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterShannon

Wow.
Ugh.
Eeew.
EEEEEEK.
That is THE most gruesome cake yet (I'd I've been a silent admirer or your "arts" for quite sometime.)

Someone is seriously disturbed.
If nothing else, I know *I* am!

September 7, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

Yeah... I've had two kids via c-section, and seeing this cake has made me reconsider ever having more children... It's actually making me reconsider eating cake ever again too!

September 7, 2009 | Unregistered Commenterthepaperbluebird

...except, um, that's a c-section, which kind of doesn't really involve *labor* (assuming it was planned, since there's a cake and all...)

September 7, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

When I was pregnant, I dreamed this exact thing! The baby's little hand popped out of my belly, waved at me, and popped back in. The dream was weird. This is way beyond weird.

September 7, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterRebekah

3 kids by C-section here. I really didn't want to know what happened on the other side of the curtain.

wv spliet. How appropriate.

September 7, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterKristina

I think the cake is celebrating the birth of a baby, and the ending of the mother's ability to have more as in after the baby is delivered she's having her tubes tied.

Just when you think people can't ruin the beauty of cake anymore, you get this.

*deep sighs and head shakes*

September 7, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterJaemi

I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.
That has to be the single most disgusting thing (I refuse to call it a cake) I have ever laid eyes on.

September 7, 2009 | Unregistered Commenterthe-gersemi

oh wow! what a wreck!

September 7, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterLucille Ball Jr.

Proving once again that skill level and taste are not precisely the same thing. The workmanship on it is pretty good, but ye gods and little purple fishes! the concept is both revolting (who wants a slice of a sliced up belly?) and surreal in the extreme (that's all folks???? just the hand???? holding a sign in utero????? Salvador Dali couldn't have come up with that one! and if he had, he'd have slapped himself).

BTW, loving the new look, Jen! Naked mohawked baby carrot jockeys FTW!

September 7, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterTwistie

"Hey! Can I have a c(ake) section? Yeah, just "hand" it over. That looks so yummy, I can't wait to rip into it. Mmmm! Oh baby!"

September 7, 2009 | Unregistered Commenterjill

Oh. My. God.

I'm not sure which is more appalling here, the customer who ordered this affront to all good taste, or the other-wise apparently capable person who produced it.

Why, oh why, can these wreckerators not use their skills for good instead of evil??? *sob*

September 7, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterCake_or_Death

great design! Love the new blog.

I knew that the baby carrot jockeys couldn't be hidden!

Love

**gasp** Ok, it took a full 5 seconds to wrap my brain around what I was seeing, after taking my breath away!! The first second DID NOT see C-section!!! Now the fits of giggles begin!!

September 7, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

I don't understand that sign. "That's all folks" makes it look likes he's going back IN.

September 7, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterHalf Assed Kitchen

I'm having a repeat section in six weeks...and I'm on OR nurse. That still makes me wanna throw up.

However, I'm having a tubal at the same time, so THAT'S ALL FOLKS! No, dear husband, I do not need a tubal cake.

September 7, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

I have a co-worker who will be delivering by c-section this month. For some reason, my sick little mind wants to make this, but with a sign that say "Coming Soon To A Belly Near You!"

September 7, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

I'm hoping that is the Octomom's belly with baby number eight coming out. That's all folks should mean she's finally closed her womb!

September 7, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

I LOVE it, LOL.
I just really don't get the 'that's all folks' thing???

September 7, 2009 | Unregistered Commenterjess

Turbopuns!

September 7, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterDakota

You didn't even mention the missing apostrophe in "Thats". It's pretty understandable, though. That cake is gruesome.
