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? ;)

"Teach them well and LET them lead the way,
Show them all the [juvenile delinquency] they possess insiiiiide…"
Because every four-year-old is searching for a hero, that’s why. And if that hero can bus’ a cap with his 9 mil (check the photo), so much the better.
Play on, Lil’ Derrick: play on.
Thanks to Mary B. for pointing this one out over on Photo Basement.

*is speechless*
Oh man, that is AWEsome!
What is with the $$ rolled up and stuck in it? That is just too much. Great blog!
Ah, but at least the cake was well-executed! (ha! I kill me!)
Geez, could that possibly be in poorer taste? I think not.
Are the dollar bills edible? Or can Lil Derrick use them to pay for ho's?
I especially love the money around the cake. I guess even a 4 year old needs to afford his bling, yo.
Ha-Ha!! ...now I have the song stuck in my head though :(
OMG - what kind of loser parent is letting a 4 year old play GTA?
Cool looking cake... but not exactly kid friendly...
I'm sorry... did that say "Lil Derrick" or "Lil Derelict"?
NOW GET OUTA THE DAMN CAR BEFORE I BLAST YOUR HEAD OFF!!
Oh, and Happy Birthday.
I weep for our future.
What, no hot coffee?! Not a true GTA cake; )
Maybe...just maybe the kid was born on a leap year and is actually like 16?
Oh man some people are just nuts! What 4 year old is into those things? My 4 year old likes Thomas, Elmo, and Lightning McQueen, etc (you know... happy things). I couldn't imagine rolling up bills and sticking it on his cake with some dude holding a glock or whatever kind of gun that is.
I have to say you are so funny and creative when it comes to these cake descriptions. I laugh out loud constantly. I love your blog. Even my husband is hooked.
OMG, where are the words? There is NO WAY my child would even know what GTA was at the AGE OF 4!!! Sheesh...nothing says 'here's hoping you can out run the cops when you grow up, Lil Derrick!' like a GTA cake! Whoo hoo!
Oh, yep, it's the 4 that makes this freaky. 14, sad, but 4, FREAKY.
Hey, a kid's gotta have goals, right? So what if some four years are looking forward to kindergarten or getting a new bike for their birthday - this kid can STEAL one!
I often wave fake bling in front of my four year old's face and tell him if he cleans his room he can buy a gat. Gotta keep him motivated, you know?

My poor four year old is stuck playing Playhouse Disney computer games. I'm CLEARLY not up on what's cool for four year olds!
Has anyone called Child Protective Services yet?
OMG, I just don't know what to say.
However, this is my new favorite blog. I love it!
Tacky, tacky, tacky!
So bad and sooooooo sad. I can't believe a parent would order a cake with a picture of a dude with a 9 mm., not to mention the stolen cars and "cash". Ay carumba.
In the immortal words of Dylan, "The times they are a-changin'" Although I don't think this is what Dylan had in mind!
I'm really hoping that the disaster here is that the cake should have read Happy 14th Birthday!
at FOUR?! I don't even let my son play that at 14! :p Way to give your kid a role model!
^.^
This cake says way more about the parents than the cake creator. And it isn't saying anything good.
OMG! I am speechless. I saw the "Grand Theft Auto" first and thought "OK whatever" but THEN I saw "Happy 4th". I don't even like my husband playing Grand Theft Auto! LOL
To be fair, they may have gotten it because it had toy cars on it - chances are no four-year-old knows really what GTA is.
The bills are so Derrick can snort the icing.

Terribly funny, Chris K. Unlike this cake, which is just plain terrible.
...and he's a fan of the worst of the series to boot...
Unbelievable - and yet, there it is!
not sure I would have labeled this one 'Just Funny'...
I can only hope the decorator missed a number on the age
Something tells me I'm glad I'm not Lil' Derrick's preschool teacher...
I'm so in awe of this cake. My jaw has dropped completely to the floor. How can this be? A FOUR year old's cake?!!? Are you kidding me?
This one has got to be the worst that I've seen thus far. The parents themselves must be 16 years old to commission a cake like this for a child!
You just *know* that those cars are totally going to blow off those traffic lights and stop signs to get to that cash. They are already heading the wrong way down that one way street!
Guess what daddy's favourite video game is...um...nice that he is spending time with his son...? Oy.
Ok, if this was an 18th birthday cake, that'd be one thing, but OMG!!!!!!!!! Four-year-olds are really SHOULD NOT be acting out beating hookers in the backs of vans...
All I am hoping is that someone explains the difference between reality and video games to Li'l Derrick before he pistolwhips someone at pre-school...
I'm hoping "Lil Derrick" was born on Fenruary 29th.
Wow, if the dollar bills are edible, they actually appear to be well-done. But, yeah, talk about inappropriate!
I'll bet Lil Derrick has some interesting playdates.
If I was the bakery, I would have refused the business and call Child Protective Services. That is awful.
But if Lil' Derrik is playing GTA, at least one should admit he's got pretty good hand-eye coordination, which will come in handy for those drive-bys.
This is a photoshop. The original said Happy 14th Birthday. You can tell by the gap between Happy and 4th.
That being said, 14 is still a little young for Grand Theft Auto.
This cake is...horrid. My daughter is 4 & I can't even comprehend a parent getting this cake made for their child. Wow.
I have to agree that it looks changed. 14 is young but plausible because there are some moronic parents out there.
And if it isn't changed, I always assumed that it was bought as a joke to post on the Internet and not for an actual 4 year old (I've seen this cake around the web for a while now).
Ghetto much? Oy. It shouldn't even be made for a 14 year old! Try 34 year old is more like it!
Photoshop or not.. I still wouldn't let my 14 yr old play this game!
*shakes head*
