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? ;)
May 4, 2009 And now, in honor of Star Wars Day, a Yoda/E.T. love child:
Jennifer, did you hear about the time Luke kept swatting at imaginary bugs? Yoda told him, "Shoo, or shoo not; there is no fly."

Also kinda looks like Dobby from Harry Potter.
oh my god, what's with the hairy ears?!
That's a cake worthy of nightmares. :|
Well, that's not the worst cake I've seen on this site, but it is pretty bad. :) Yoda phone home.
@Justfrosting
YES! It's like... Yoda, ET, and Dobby all had a love child.
Love the ear hair. *blech*
Actually, it looks like my grandfather.
Eerily so.
Hmm....
I think there must be some sesame street monster muppet in his bloodline too.
Must be a radioactive yoda. I think he's glowing.
Obviously the force was not with this baker. This baker must be from the dark side.
Never underestimate the power of the dark side...
I'm still too busy laughing too hard over why it's Star Wars Day to really appreciate the wreckiness of the cake.
just nasty. and will probably leave you tongue all blue-green-ish...
:o)
It looks kind of like mold.
Wow - there is a disturbance in the force.... big time. Ugh!
I agree with the Dobby, ET, Yoda assessment. Full of the Dark Side, that one.
I shall have bad dreams tonight.
I don't know...even without the commentary I would know that was Yoda in a heartbeat. I think the decorator did a good job - I don't see ET at all.
Just my opinion tho'
So, Yoda is the child of Kermit The Frog and Miss, Piggy.
Then he had a baby with ET.
Then that baby had a baby with Dobby.
Then the grand child of Kermit and Piggy found a baker who was high enough to put his face on a cake.
And here we are now. There is no other possible explanation for this... thing... Except drugs...
Two wrecks in one day?
My little heart skips a beat
. . . then stops at this cake.
wv: berbla I'm hungry and my tummy is berblaing.
OMG! I totally snarfed at "Shoo, or shoo not; there is no fly." That made my day. I'm sending it to everyone I know.
Love it. Jen, I heart you!
Folk art!
Don't forget the authentically mouldy-looking icing. Just...why?!
dear God, make. it. go. awwaaayyy!!!
Yoda's looking a little green(er) these days...0_o Maybe he's got the Dagobah flu? Either that or it looks a little pop-art.
But those ears. *shudder* Not appetizing, this cake is.
a bad cake that is!
It's as if millions of legitimate, talented cake decorators cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced.
I fear something terrible has happened. And that it has ear hair.

Look its EToada, after his light saber exploda.
*giggle*
When baking a cake with 900 year old ingredients, look like this it well.
Gross! The ears hairs made me gag.
Wow! That is one ugly yoda

Slimy? Mudhole? My cake, this is.
Word verification: coppa - this cake looks like it's made out of 900 year old coppa
You should have said:
"Choux or choux not, there is no fly"
Kills a lot of punning birds with one stone, if you see what I mean.
And at last, my 4 y.o. son has been introduced to Cake Wrecks! His first words upon seeing this pic was, "Is THAT a CAKE???" LOL
I kinda thought there was some Mickey Rooney in there, too...
May the corpse be with you?
I especially like the ear hair.
Yoda I like because long poofy ears he has.
Long poofy ears this Yoda cake has not.
Also, gross it looks. :)
Normally I show the daily wrecks to my husband, but not this one--cry, he might.
Was the cake made by JarJar Binks...Really Bad.
BTW, how does one put earhair on a cake?
Gross, this cake looks.
Yeah, the hairy ears just add a whole other dimension. Kinda looks like a zombie hobbit, doesn't it?
this particular cake is the most unapitizing thing i have seen EVER!!! it makes me want to hurl!
lol :P wow my gf's birthday was on star wars day :P
I always knew Dustin Hoffman shoulda played Yoda. Just a hop, skip, and jump from Ratso Rizzo.
Nothing says "yum, dessert!" like ear hair.
I LOVE that this has caught on as "Star Wars Day!"
(it is my son's birthday and my husband is a big Star Wars fan...it was destiny!)
Oh my. It reminds me of this furry sweater someone I know used to have. This though, is so much worse.
It looks like Yoda/ET/Dobby is carsick.
Ack--the ear hair really gets me!
Most unappetizing!
Bad bad bad bad bad.
That looks much more like Yogurt from Space Balls than Yoda.
I want to say that this cake IS in fact, molded over. Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
the violet seems to be the regular green melding into some other frosting and changing color or something... o__O
wv: acked. Yes, I acked, alright.
Well, pooh. I had occasion to visit the local Super Walmart tonight and actually remembered to check their bakery for Wrecks. Alas, they obviously hire only talented decorators, because every cake in there was either a) beautiful or b) completely adorable (the baby turtles were to die for)!
I feel unworthy to enjoy your efforts so completely when I cannot contribute myself. :'(
