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? ;)
December 18, 2008 "HI HI HI!"
I thought this was the decorator's version of Santa on too much sugar before I realized those are really skinny 'O's. Which is odd, considering that the decorator could have just used the six extra cupcakes to make all the letters the correct size. *facepalm*

Laura - I think that instead of Christmas trees, the 6 spare cupcakes should feature the mohawk baby carrot jockeys. I can just picture those little dudes yelling "Hi Hi Hi" as they ride their noble vegetative steeds.
Word verification: Conates - stretching exercises specifically designed for people who eat too many ice cream cones.
Oh, that one is hilarious!
Hi, Hi, Hi... Murry Chrastmis!
Ditto the "Hi, hi, hi," which at least seems cheery enough to match the holiday season!
It took me a little while to make out the O's.
Still looks delicious to me.
I find it sad that I would actually like 24 of those Christmas tree decorated cupcakes than the mess of HOHOHO cakes.
Three hydrogen and three oxygen, what does that make?
Also, word verification: ticip. That's like TCP/IP for us computer geeks, but when drunk and having that perpetual twitch in the corner of the eye, developed thanks to our bosses and users.
It's actually kinda cute....
I really don't see what's so bad about it. It looks fine to me. A lot worse could have been done to it.
I believe this will be our new Christmas greeting for all eternity: "Hi, Hi, HI!!!! Merry Christmas!" Somehow, I see a wee cartoon dog saying that:)
Sorry Jim and Garrett, but I agree with Sarah,
and I don't think her comment was mean spirited. For such a great blog, I think Jen has some crappy readers.
Personally I think that there is a bit of responsibility that comes with commenting.
1) Read the entire blog post before commenting
2) Read at least a few of the other comments before commenting.
I like to read the comments, some of them are as funny as the post, but when you have to scour through twenty posts that say "eighteen cupcakes," you get bored.
What's sad is that it would actually look pretty good if they weren't so cheap on cupcakes! It's not too bad of worksmanship. Well, considering some of the other wrecks, anyway.
Too much espresso evident on that decoration.

Oh, pshaw, this is just "ho, ho, ho" in Gill Santa MT Extracondensed Bold.
That's the friendliest/please for the love of god buy me out of the torturous hands of my decorator I've ever seen!
HI HI HI to you wreck-a-licious!!

Someone was at the coffee pot a lot that day at the bakery! That's one hyper-looking wreck.
My three year old was sitting on my lap as we got caught up on the last few wrecks.
I read the entry, and almost as soon as I finished it, she turned to me, crinkled up her little nose and said, "Hi, hi, hi? No. Ho, ho, ho."
At least now I know if I can't pay for her college, at least she has
career options.
'Hi Hi Hi' is the background music for the Mr. Saturns in the video game Earthbound.
Guess what started playing in my head when I saw this.
Somebody shoot me. I'm totally sober and I LOVE it! Something's wrong with me.
