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? ;)

This Post is Brought to you by the Number 809

Why 809? Because that's the number of votes Cake Wrecks received over at the Blogger's Choice Awards. That's right, Wrecks fans, WE WON!!


Not only that, but your voting made CW win by a landslide: 300 votes more than second place! Of the 37 or so categories on BCA, I think I only saw 3 other winning blogs with more votes than Wrecks: most winners had between 200 and 500 votes. Wow. So thank you - all 809 of you - for your completely spontaneous support: I am just floored by your response, and very grateful.

Now, about your evil henchmen duties...

Congratulations - well deserved.

Plus that Mom2mysixpack is a formidable foe. She made me pee my pants a couple of times, but just not as reliably as you.

:'-) <--- tears of laughter.

October 17, 2008 | Unregistered Commenterharmzie

Congratulations! It's certainly well-deserved. I look forward to Cake Wrecks every morning to start my day off with a laugh.

Contgratulation!

Are you going to have an *ahem* cake to celebrate?

Congrats! You deserve it!

"Congradumalations". I found your site yesterday via a friend's recommendation and I have shared it with all my work colleagues. I have achieved nothing at all today save for giggling over your pics. I am now, though, truly terrified. For I have a professional cake on order for my Dad's 60th and it is based on a trout. I think I may be in trouble...I will of course be in touch should the dreadful happen...

Congratulations, Jen!

As always, thanks for the wreckporting. It makes my 8:00 class so much brighter every day, especially when I have to fake a cough to keep my laughter in. Which is every day.

October 17, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterChristine Jane

This is the worst post yet. Very little humor, poor quality picture of a cake. I don't even get why it's "wrecktastic".

WORST POST EVER!!!!

I didn't vote. There was voting? When? Where? Do you have to be a member of the academy to get a ballot? Am I just clueless? I would have voted for you, Wrecks. You're awesome.

I would of voted but I've only just found your blog. Its cheered me up no end although I couldn't understand wht you had against cupcake cakes, as I pictured in my mind a lovely stand full of cupcakes, and then I looked through your blog and oh my goodness! I can't tell you how much your blog cheered me up, I've just had to share it with everyone!

I'm waiting to see this on a wreck: "Conflatulations!"

As stated by everyone else, you deserve it! I'm so happy for you.

With all due respect, your second place competition has quite a following and is responsible for sending this reader (and I'm sure many more) your way. And boy am I glad she did. I pass you along to anyone who will listen. I'm so glad you won!

So, yea, where's the celebratory cake?

ps Also, thanks for the Jim Gaffigan connect. Love him, too.
