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? ;)
January 19, 2009 This is great stuff: not a Wreck, but fun dessert-themed claymation. Stick with it to the end for the big finale.
Many thanks to Gini N. for sending it in!

Now if only some of our wreckerators could do that good.
This is great! Who created the original claymation? I want to post that to any links I give to this, give proper attribution. But so far, my googling hasn't found the makers. Any ideas?
That was fantastic!!!!!!
Great example of acceptance and integration on this, Martin Luther King's birthday. Also fabulous claymaton.
Brilliant! I don't even have words for how much I love this -- wonderful use of colours and shapes and just fun, cute, and clever!
Nice.
I think the little icing entities belong to the Ministry of Silly Walks. ;)
That was great! Definitely worthy of a post!

Delightful! Here's the same clip including subtitles for those interested in what the words from La Traviata by Verdi mean.

Wow, that was too cute and amazingly done.
It's not everyday that I get to say, "That was a great claymation opera!"
First comment! WOOHOO! IN YO FACE!!!
those little dessert claymation people did a better job decorating that cake than many Wreckorators I have seen. Lets have a big round of applause fo cute little opera-singing clay desert people!!!!!!!!!!!!
THAT was VERY cool!!
Loved it!
Wow That is just amazing!
That was awesome!!! I wonder how long it too to make! So clever. And Cute!
That was really cute!
WOW!
That is stinkin' cool!
that was truly an amazing video! thanks for sharing!!
Those little guys are adorable.
Ha! That was cute!
Woo! That was awesome! It wasn't entirely what I was expecting but it was beautiful nonetheless. As a once-was-an-animation-major I know exactly how hard that was to make and I -always- appreciate claymation. So glad you posted it = )
Well, I'm hungry.
That was great! I loved it, too bad we couldn't see what the cake looked like from a different view when it was done.
That is adorable! If different dessert goos can learn to get along...why can't we?
Funny, always loved clay-animation!
That was so cool!
fantastic! As I am a lover of both claymation and desserts, this definitely tickled my fancy -- thanks for sharing!
Oh, well done!! >claps< I love the little marching puddings!
Great video and great blog! Thanks!
This is very fun. Thanks for sharing. My toddler wanted to watch the ending with me again and again!
Holy cow! Someone has WAY too much time on their hands.
That was hypnotic to watch.
And now the music is stuck in my head.
This is fabulous! And a perfect addition to this hilarious blog.
This is absolutely lovely and incredibly creative...I love the characters and the finale is just beautiful...Wheeeeee!
that was really impressive! But I don't know if that cake would have turned out a wreck if it were real...lol
Awesome! I can't imagine how long it took to make that.
What a cool video! I love it!
I couldn't help thinking of those cute little Adipose fat babies in Doctor Who; "the fat just walks away"
That was adorable! I love the end--them becoming decorations was great!
This is just too cute - and so well done! Thanks for sharing!
Awww this one cut short. The link Toby gave is better you get the whole sha-bang at the end! Too cool. Apparently it's from something called L'Opera Imaginaire (it's in the comments of youtube and there's a few more clips from the collection there, different animation styles).
That was AMAZING. It was nice to cake-themed animation on here; it breaks up the awesomely bad cakes with just pure awesome.
Keep up the great work!
Super cute! Um, but... okay, maybe I'm just a little wrong. Did the yellow blobs that hopped along not look like, well, something unmentionable? Urm.... Still, incredibly creative and fun to watch!
That was so totally fantastic! i just love it.
i think its made be a french company. i saw another version that was slightly longer and included the name of the composer "verdi" and then 2 french words. i dont speak french so i dont know if it was someone's name or what. but after a little more search i found a site which seems to have the info of who/what/where/why but again, in french. freetranslation.com!!!
