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? ;)

There's Something to be Said for Consistency...

But in this case, nothing positive. (These were supposed to say "Dirrrty Thirty".)

Dawn P, thanks for providing us with Wrecks that give our gag reflex a break. :)

I just have to tell you I discovered this blog while laid up in bed with a terrible summer cold. I credit your site with helping clear my poor old lungs (gross as that may seem!). I laughed until I simply could not breathe, then laughed even more! Laughter truly is the best medicine! Thank you and keep up the wonderful work...

Congraniations "Jen"!

What in the heck is a dirty thirty? Is it a specific type of birthday party? if so please let me know...

July 28, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

As if "Dirty Thirty" when spelled correctly wasn't redneck enough......

OMG - that's hysterical. Do you really believe that somebody paid for that?

I'm glad you explained what it was supposed to say b/c I wouldn't have gotten it, on my own.

What the heck is a dirty thirty party anyway?

Bahaha!!!

In norwegian "Dritt" means "Crap". That makes it even funnier to me :)

Dirty Thirty is not a kind of party. It is just something a friend from Austin always said when people turn 30. And we paid for it because we were in a hurry and it was pretty funny. ;)

The good news for this decorator is that a recent proposal was made for allowing such mistakes to be considered (legitmate)"alternate spellings"--spellings that would be acceptable in college/university classrooms. See the story here:

Sad, sad, sad.

Sorry about the link. Let me see if the rest comes through. This should be the remainder of the word "spelling" and the rest of the link:
