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? ;)

Frankly, Carianne, I don't think I can top the genius of the pun that is 'batter up', so I'll just quit while I'm ahead.
PS: Take that, Failblog.

Once you go black...
I think that label shouldn't be "The moistest cake you've ever tasted" but the soggiest, based on how misshapen that plot of land is. It's a regular swamp.
The only reaction I could muster up was my jaw dropping.....
Hi VeggieT,
Please let me say first off that I know you have been a long time reader/commenter and that both Jen and I appreciate it. But your statement that "disgusting" cakes are becoming the "general rule" is a little off base. Just for fun, I looked through the archives and the closest remotely risque cake was a skeleton holding a pumpkin. Three weeks ago.
Believe me when I say that Jen and I always try to be sensitive to the readers when potentially posting something that some might find unsavory. At the same time, you need to understand that no child will ever see anything more than a skeleton holding a pumpkin, a baseball bat or a space shuttle. And frankly, it's just funny when a decorator makes an honest attempt at a nose or a baseball bat and fails this miserably.
I have said it before and I'll say it again: It's part of Cake Wrecks. It always has been and it always will be. It's no more frequent now than it was when the blog began. The question is, does it really bother you so much that you stop reading? The choice is yours.
Sincerely,
john
They had to label it moist? Of COURSE poopy-covered 4 leaf clovers are moist...DUH!!!
Oh no the DI'INT!
"I'm looking over
a four-leaf clover
that I've overlooked before."
And kinda wish I had overlooked it again. Because the combination of a CCC "diamond", and poo-penis bats is just melting my brain.
WV: crest--We have reached the crest of baseball cakewrecks (I hope!).
Excuse me, baker? Are you SURE this is the only baseball cake you have?
Oh...
"The moistest cake you've ever tasted"...if you can get past our shameful attempts at presenting it to you.
I love baseball, but when it comes to cakes I gotta say, Hooray for the off season!
I just laughed till I cried at this cake, my boss even came out of his office to see if I was ok. Willies and doggie doo, priceless! I wish we had cakes like this in the UK..... ;0)

That had to be intentional.
Moistest cake ever? I wonder what the secret ingredient is.
@ maya-- lol
If that wasn't on the cake's label, I don't know what should have been.
Thanks for the laughs, Jen (and co. found here)!
P.S. I love the dig at failblog. Their bat cake from a while back in no way lives up to anything from Cake Wrecks, and they are so dismissive of Cake Wrecks. The snobs.
I think the label, "The moistest cake you've ever tasted" only ups the ranking on the unintentional comedy scale for this wreck. That, and the dog-turd baseball bats.
Egads, the one on the left even has a decent curve on it.
Hey John, my kid would probably look at those and think they were badly made letters! But yeah, kids don't see the dirty joke until they're old enough to turn EVERYTHING into a dirty joke, at which point a decorator could make a lovely and accurate bat and the kids that age would still giggle and say "heheh, BAT!" a la Bevis and Butthead.
PS OT, I just got email from Kerry Vincent thanking me for the cupcake wreck I did for you guys. :D
wv: moosh, as in what you have to do to your icing bag to make it squirt penis-turds like that.
That one's gotta be intentional. I mean, it is SO heinous.
... clicked the comments on accident, and the WV inspired me to post where I really hadn't planned to do so...
WV: slyze
No matter how you slyze a CCC (ptooie!), it's still a cluster of cupcakes completely covered with copious clumps of colored icing.
Wow. Just wow.
And P.S. I just checked out Failblog and your site totally takes the "cake".
this is so disturbing on so many levels.
Mmmmm....moist....
wow. That's all I can think of to say. just. wow.
And why does it cost either $22 or $32 (hard to read). A CCC, looking that bad, costing that much?! It must be the moistestness or something.
ROTFL!! Oh, this CCC (ptooie!) is priceless! And the comments by the faithful following are just "icing on the cake".
I'm proud to be part of the Wreck nation!
Love you guys!
Don't they say once you go chocolate you never go back?
Or was that black?
Mmm, chocolate bats.
Look! A Penis!
Leigh
wow 2 balls.. a piece of poo and a teeny penis all on a mutant clover... and its the "moistest cake I'll ever taste?"..... I think i will pass..(and judging by the items on the cake.. i don't wanna KNOW what they moistened the cake with)
That cake is made of fail. It's even a ccc. pthoeey!
The phallic bat and poop in conjunction with the label on the box reading "the moistest cake you've ever tasted..." ...nevermind, I suppose we shouldn't go there!
Tamara
Was a lurker long before becoming a commenter, John (hubby of Jen), and I haven't noticed an uptick of disturbing wrecks. And as I have to keep reminding myself, it's just cake. ;-)
Onto cake: Setting aside the CCC wreckiness on this one (happy St. Patrick's Day everyone!) the phallic poo 'bats' have to be intentional.
i almost think the "bat" on the left was unintentional... only because i can't imagine if a wreckarator *wanted* to make a tiny penis bat that it would end up that accurate!
what do i want on my shamrock cake? hmm... i think i'll have two baseballs, a turd, and a big black schlong. perfect!
-helen
So that is where Bobbits "manhood" ended up...So srry I just could not help that I think that cake just was a set up for every joke its gets.
Okay,
The hard part (no pun intended):
What words for penis are considered "family friendly?" Much more difficult than you think.
john
I know turds are a regular on Cake Wrecks, but I don't believe I have ever seen such realistic turds done in icing. Well done!
I have no comment for the other, uh, thing.
Oh, and it's moist too. Added bonus.
Those phallic turds are disturbing.
oooh! I think we just hit the motherlode of Wrecki-ness. Penis, turds, and anti- baseball "diamond", and the dreaded CCC.
it took me a while to figure out what that was SUPPOSED to be.
THE MOISTEST CAKE YOU'VE EVER TASTED!!!
Bwahahahahahahhahaaaaaaaahahahahhahahahahahahhahaahhaaaaaaahahaha!!!
Only thing funnier than this cake? The comments! Thanks for ALL the laughs everyone!
What the heck!
If you expect me to pay good money for a cake that looks like that, it darn well better be the moistest cake ever.
Also, Jen and John, if you have cakes to show that are going to stir up that kind of emotion in people, to be honest, I want to see those cakes! teeheehee
CCC + phallic poo!
Is it me, or does the "bat" on the left look remarkably like a penis? o.O
The heading, "The moistest cake you've ever tasted!" is not helping at all.
That "bat" on the left has *got* to be on purpose. Surely something that phallic couldn't be acheived on accident--to me it looks like the left bat was piped in 2 rows--maybe someone was trying to get fired?
P.S. Am I the only one who thinks the words "moistest cake ever!" just add to the naughty factor of this "cake"?
I've only lurked but this just made my day! a wilted wiener, oh my. I hope the CCC isn't cream filled. Yuck! hehehe
John, I think the "family friendly" word you are looking for is, apparently, "bat." After all, baseball is full of lots of other euphemistic terms, it being America's OTHER favorite pastime. What's not to love?
love how the cake box says "the moistest cake you've ever tasted" that just brings even more to the plate so to speak LOL.
