Fan Wrecks
September 7, 2008 We've officially come full circle, folks: people are now making Wrecks on purpose, either in honor of the site or just to recreate their favorite specimens. Check it out:
This wrecktastic design was the brainchild of readers Alissa, Elisa, Phillip, Gail & Tara. Hey guys, shouldn't the baby be riding one of those carrots?
Msyendor was more musically inspired: here's a song to the tune of "Working on the Railroad":
"I've been looking at some Cake Wrecks,
And laugh until I cry.
I've been looking at some Cake Wrecks,
So glad one isn't mine!
Visions of sweet disasters
See 'Toe Jams' 8/11/08.
Missed spellings gaily plastered
Ferule to, uh, pree, she aaaate!
Baby butts upturned,
'Wachungas' -what a word,
Effigies invite you: Slash away!
Psychedelic dreams,
Done in tasty butter cream,
I'm putting in an order today!"
Readers Aimee C., Amy G., Jessica S., & Amanda K. threw a Cake Wreck Decorating Party:
"Run, Wall-E, Run!"
Here's an official Wreck, since it was professionally made for an Army guy. Submitter Lena had the decorator replace the original inscription with the most famous of Wreck mistakes, and then swapped Eve out for a toy tank. (Which is especially funny when you realize the blue is supposed to be the night sky - it's a Hover Tank!) Believe it or not, though, the space poos are part of the original design - proving that it wasn't that far off from wreckiness to begin with.
And lastly, the quintessential Cake Wrecks homage:
Not only is the inscription referencing at least five separate Wrecks, it's also rocking some extremely unbalanced sprinkles distribution and crazy clashing red dots. Score!
Teresa B. and gang, you rock. Totally.

Love your blog. I found what that Wall-E cake was supposed to look like http://cgi.ebay.com/Wall-E-Eve-Keepsake-Cake-Decor-Party-Kit_W0QQitemZ260288394164QQihZ016QQcategoryZ25466QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting" REL="nofollow">here
It's a Wilton cake decorating set so it should have been a no brainer!
the white poo on the wall-e cake are actually star-shaped sprinkles...
that was staged. no one, and i mean no one, could mess up so awfully.
this has to be staged. its impossible that this cake is legitimate.
Is the background in this one the background from Antoine De St Exupery's 'Petit Prince,' (the bit at the end where he talks about his favourite landscape)?
For that first cake: If you like it, then you shoulda put a baby on it.
Last cake, so many things went wrong:
1)Weeding
2)E.T was written in all of the corners
3)Writing: under neat that
4)Writing: under NEAT that
5)(in green)
6)Comguadulations
7)Only one set of quotes. "Under neat that
8)Red dots
EIGHT THINGS THAT WENT HORRIBLY WRONG!!!
