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? ;)

How to Make Your Twins Hate You

You know how I've said before that the main thing I despise about CCCs (that's cupcake cakes, for you newbies) is all the icing slathered in the gaps? And how "cupcake mosaics", or CCCs that use individually iced cupcakes, aren't quite so bad?

Yeah, I think I'm going to have to rescind that.

And to think I was horrified at the split sheet cake. Yowza.

Let's see: moldy camo and blue roses. [Chandler Bing voice] Could this BE any more wrong, Ila P.?

And what's up with the weird semi-outline on the side cupcakes?

I really think this is the worst cake I've seen before.

Poor kids...not even a little pink for the girl. They both got blue, white and barf coloured cakes.

Hmmm, Someone likes Jenny alot more than Vernon :<

The blue roses and white frosting are not bad, but that camo! ICK! And it's not even equal. If they're going to have the same cake they should have done it 50/50 with a matching theme, maybe blue roses for the boy and pink for the girl. I bet Vernon chose the camo though, little boys aren't exactly known for their taste!

I guess I should be happy that the cake pics you're pulling off my site are all freebies that were done when I was first starting to decorate.
Thanks Again

Hey, oversensitive-cake-decorator...

If you don't want the people seein' your f'ed up mistakes, then don't PUT them out there for the people to see! Logic 101, darlin'. And your feeble attempt to shame whomever submitted this photo doesn't work either. After all, you yourself are responsible for letting loose this picture into the wunnerful world of cyberspace. And deep down, c'mon, you know this be nasty, right? Riiiiighhht??? Man up, already.

Okay, I can see maybe having fewer cupcakes for Vernon- maybe he had fewer people coming to the party than his sister.
But I mean, how hard would it be to get another plate and make three different "cakes"? Sorry, but vomit-camo does NOT match.

So many comments! I read the comments and saw everything I would have said was already said two or three times.
Love this blog!

Funny, but upon first viewing this, I just assumed that poor Jenny was receiving this abomination FROM Vernon--where did the twins idea start?

This is described so well and clearly, now to make our twins hate you will never be a difficulty. Thanks
