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 cake is appallingly distasteful.
Eh?

I should be able to feel my eyeballs.
Why can't I feel my eyeballs?
All I remember is purple...and orange...and...
It looks like a halloween cake, an anniversary cake, birthday cake...all rolled into one! xox
Everything looks nicely done, just mismatched. I agree with one of the other commenters that suggested that the features on the cake were probably picked out by the customer.
Colourful is...Happy Birthous Cupon Wel
Hear that? That is the sound of my eyes spontaneously combusting. Technicolor disaster.
The orange thingies around the edge look just like nudibranchs (brightly colored sea slugs)! See the following: http://www.robots4farms.com/scubadivingpictures_files/browningwall_bp_files/99_jms_OrangePeelNudibranch_90p_PA040114.jpg
You know that popping sound? That's the unfortunate Choon's brain imploding
It's so incredibly tacky I love it XD

Looks Canadian, unfortunately... So colourful...
I saw "GOLD WAFUL IS... HAPPY BIRTHDAY CUPON WE!" at first...At least they spelt birthday right (maybe...) Can't say the same for 'coupon'...they missed the first 'o'.
Aphasia cake

I like it other than the lettering.
It's well executes hideousness. That's something...
