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? ;)

Oh, It Sends a Message Alright

The label on this says it's a "message cookie":


Now, I'm just ballparking here, but I think the message might be something along the lines of:

"When I think of you, I think of bug-infested poop. And football. Because I hate football."

Gee, at this point, why not just cut to the chase?

"The Message Cookie: When you hate enough to actually spend money on more clearly expressing your hatred."

Remember, E.M., if you're ever offered a poo-spotted football cake, the proper response is: "Thanks, but I think I'll pass."

Actually this reminds me of my son's first birthday cake. We held the party in a park and a football landed in the cake! Seriously.

No bugs or poo though, that I knew of.

no one seems to be commenting on the mysteriousness of the green circus tents behind the football. maybe that is where the bugs live, in a flea circus

"I'll pass."

This could be my favorite post ever.

haha that is funny. Who wouldn't see that as looking like poo?

Unfortunately I think I just might get the message. I'm from Ohio, and our mascot for just about everything is the Buckeye. For those of you with actual lives, the buckeye is a little round brown nut that is kind of like an acorn except much less cute. I suspect that might be what those little poop balls are intended to be. And that would also explain the random green barf in the corner.

I seriously want to meet these cake decorators...and the managers who hired them.

Reminds me of Andy Griffith's What it was, It was Football.

I don't know friends, to this day, what it was that they was a doin' down there, but I have studied about it. I think it was that it's some kindly of a contest where they see which bunchful of them men can take that pumpkin and run from one end of that cow pasture to the other without gettin' knocked down or steppin' in somethin'.

I LOVE it!!!

Can I please order one of these for the crap-tastic beyotch who's married to my husband's bro? Because she truly is a troll. And I can't stand her. Neither can I stand bug-covered poo nor football.

ps - I just want to send out a Mad Props to all the commenters here -- you all make me laugh, too!

Thank you!

There's nothing I like better than a fresh football pun in the evening.

I'd try to defend that statement but I'm afraid it would be too offensive and touch down on something sensitive.

@Hanna, I totally agree with Elizabeth: "Vous avez decouvert le blog meilleur de l'Internet!"

Jen and John, you bring a smile every day. Thanks for your wonderful blog! Wreck on!

Jen, Jen, Jen. Don't split your infinitives - it hurts their feelings if you stick an adverb between them.

It's funny that Amyk posted about the Titans and their 0-6 season so far, I was about to say the same thing about the Tampa Bay Bucs! hahahaha

Please tell me you watched "18 kids and Counting" tonight on TLC. There was a hilarious Cake Wreck and I immediately thought of you! This is a famous reality TV family who just gave birth to a much anticipated grandchild...they have been featured on the Today show (or was it good morning america?). Anyway, they were throwing Anna, the expecting mother, a shower and bought a sheet cake for the party. The baker spelled the child's name wrong!!!! Luckily, Michelle (the soon to be grandmother) was crafty and did a little work on the cake to "repair" it. Bet that baker is wishing her mistake wasn't all over TV right now!

Misfit @ 9:25 p.m.: Didn't you get the memo? Split infinitives are allowed nowadays. Have you been asleep for the past thirty years?

On the other hand, Jen, I'm looking askance at "alright" . . . but I know you've had rather a full load lately, so.

(Get it? Load?)

"I think your football team is a pile of...."

I'm with Maria. Hailing recently from Columbus OH myself, I am familiar with the love of the Buckeye nut, and when I saw those sad sad sad looking brown blobs, and the green "holly" in the corner, I thought to myself "Self - I think that's an Ohio State cake"! If it is indeed, around Columbus people would pay large amounts of money for that poo cake...

GROSS! LOL!

I might have to actually stop reading this website after this cake because I'm not sure I'll ever read anything this funny again and I don't want to set myself up for any more disappointment down the line.

Not-so-good message
With a "MESSAGE COKE" sticker
Glad that's not my cake.
