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? ;)

That's Some Spout

"I'm a little teapot,

short and stout.

Here is my handle

here is my..."


Erm. Yeeeaaahhh.


Heather L., do you take one lump or two?

This is amazing.

October 3, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

To paraphrase Mae West: Is that a teapot yer holding, or are ya just glad to see me?

October 3, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

Nothing like a good laugh first thing in the morning. That is hilarious.

October 3, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterMeghan

OMG....did it have to be PINK?

October 3, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

Wow! "Pour some sugar on me.."

It COULD be a flower-loving elephant if you tip your head and squint just right. :P

October 3, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterMarji

Actually.....if you look at the whole thing long enough....it looks like a cute pink and white elephant's head...with the obviously pre-fab rose being the eye.

October 3, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterSuzanne Dargie

Looks like Jenna Jameson got herself a day job.

Bwow chika bow wow...

Is that a spout in your pot or are you just happy to see me?

October 3, 2009 | Unregistered Commenterlifeofleisa

I dunno... looks like the "spout" is suffering some shrinkage. Must be iced tea in that pot!!

Oh a side note, I just bought your book and read it and laughed so hard that I cried. Thank you, oh thank you for such a wonderful contribution to the world of the written word!

WV: doweep. "When you see this cake, you doweep".

ROFL that's classic!

October 3, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterKimmygintx

October 3, 2009 | Unregistered Commentermlpieters

October 3, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterLucille Ball Jr.

Someone needs to submit this to failblog too! Oh my!

October 3, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterNancy

Jen, Just got my copy of the CakeWrecks book in the mail today! I immediately sat down and devoured it. Awesome job!

October 3, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterPromise

Nice FotC reference... can't have a pot of tea without sugar lumps.

October 3, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterJennie

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... HA!
Amazing. The comments are just as great.

October 3, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

At least it's a HAPPY ,little spout!

October 3, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

I want to meet the person who thought they could make a teapot out of cupcakes. That kind of thinking takes cojones....which may explain why the thing looks the way it does.

October 3, 2009 | Unregistered Commenter12 hour pills

WUT.

Well blow me down.

October 3, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterJane

... "when i get all steamed up, hear me shout. tip me over and pour. me. out."

*sigh* if only it were that easy. ;-)

i do believe this little teapot should be in your next book!

gearing up for AUSTIN tomorrow! can't wait to meet y'all! i'll be the blonde with a texas drawl. ;-)

October 3, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterTerry Lee

I always prefer those spouts that are bigger than a baby's arm ;)

October 3, 2009 | Unregistered Commenterliz

ROFL Double AA -- "Handle hole" is what we're calling it these days?

the spout was so ...stunning that i didn't even notice it was a CCC til reading the comments!

WV: watol = watol you have with your pee -- i mean tea?

October 3, 2009 | Unregistered Commenterreikifeet

It looks like the decorator was aiming for delicate and feminine... and missed. By far. At least it was a shocking pink and not the lovely fleshy pink we saw on the fire hose cake. *shudder*

October 3, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterMelanie

Oooh, this one would've gone great with the CCC bra and panties photos I submitted this summer! Too funny!!!

October 3, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterHeather

I knew I liked tea for a reason!

October 3, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterLybertygirl

That certainly does not look like a spout.

October 3, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterMissy

I've never scene a cirmcumcised tea pot before!

I just got your book, Jen. It made my day!!!

October 3, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterSiouxzr

Um...the flowers are pretty.

October 3, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterNYCGirl

When I'm horrified by cakes on this site, I think about how delicious they must be because that would be the only excuse for selling such monstrosities.

Have you ever done a post about what people can do if a bakery severely messes up a cake (putting the wrong inscription, etc?). Do they have to make it right?

October 3, 2009 | Unregistered Commenterfeathergirl

It seems the guy that drew the phallus on the "little Mermaid" movie poster got fired from Disney and decided to follow his dream to become a cake Wreckorator.

October 3, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterDevilWomanCake

Wow, is that a cake you're eating or are you just happy to see me XD

October 3, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

You know what really gets me? That's actually a pretty decent buttercream rose in the middle. Why on earth is someone who can actually do some decent decoration making such a hideous mess of a cake?

October 3, 2009 | Unregistered Commenterrhonda

No. No freaking way...

October 3, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterErin

hahahahah! I do believe that is a XXX CCC?

October 3, 2009 | Unregistered Commenterdeemack

Um.. that's about all I can say!

October 3, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterJennifer

Oh, give me this cake! Give it to me! yeah!

October 3, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterCellar Door

Today is my 40th birthday and now, my simple DQ ice cream cake somehow feels... inadequate.

I have cake envy!

October 3, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterPatty O'Chair

Teabag, anyone?

October 3, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterPlaidfrogg

I dont know if i am allowed to say the word that comes to mind when I see that Uh "spout"... oh yeah its a tea pot. Hehehe!

October 3, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterStacy

I wonder what the flavor is. At least you wont have to add your own cream to this tea.

October 3, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterLynUn

I just found your blog...I heard about your new book on PW. I could not stop laughing when I saw this one! Instant pick me up!

October 3, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterTrace and Sarah

At least it's not steaming.

October 3, 2009 | Unregistered Commenterlazykins

I wonder if it has cream filling...

October 3, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

OMG, I haven't laughed that loud at a wreck in some time. Them wreckerators still got it!

October 3, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterFlartus
