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? ;)

Well, That's Not a Good Sign

Note: You folks following me on the social networking site which shall not be named have already seen this, but it's just too good to keep as a Twits-Only exclusive.

So John and I were cruising around town last weekend looking for good Thrift shops, and lookie what we found instead!

A sign of Wrecks to come, perhaps? :D

Can't wait 'til you get your hands on them!

June 10, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterPineapple Princess

If they can't spell correctly on the banner, how in the heck are they gonna spell "Congratulations" or "Kindergarten" properly?!?!?

June 10, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterJoMama

HAHAHA oh no. They might want to change the name, NOW.

LOVE IT!!! Which town is this, by the way? I want to see the future baked goods for myself!

June 10, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterNatalie

Maybe they set the bar a little too high with the name...

This is the first time I've commented but I love all of the wreckiness you share. Thanks!

That is hilarious! There's also a shop that's called Cupcake's here in LV. I don't get the apostraphe! Does Cupcake own the shop?

June 10, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterLauraNthezoo

June 10, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterLaura

June 10, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterFluffy Cow

There's a store near my home with a vinyl sign that reads; "No Quality." Hmph. At least they are honest!

Oh that just made my bad day soooo much better. You need to have friends and family order cakes through them to see if the sign really was an omen:).

June 10, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterSugar Mama

That is excellent! I bet it's another fine work from the people who brought us the "Now offering Brakfast" and "Breakfast with Satan" banners.

Oh, how easily English is abused.

June 10, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterZombie Roadkill

Haha, brilliant! I'm sure we'll see some "masterpieces" soon. (Scare quotes intended, lol.)

June 10, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterDrisana

don't mean to get off the subject of cakes, but....there's a good directory thrift shops at www.thethriftshopper.com

OOOhhhhh that is too funny!!!!!

HA! Awesome!

June 10, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterHolly Noelle

That is classic!!!
Hahahahahah!!
Wow. Signmakers who can't spell or proof is way worse than bakers who can't!
"Perfect". LOL!

"Congalulation's On Youre Diplema!!" - Future Wreck, I just know it.

June 10, 2009 | Unregistered Commentershadow

At least they used 'o'.

June 10, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterJeremy

You would think they would have caught that in the sign shop!

June 10, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterC.G. the Foodie

*groan*

June 10, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterThe Country Mouse

Let's hope so!

June 10, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterDeAnn

First I thought...that has to be fake. Then I thought...oh my gosh...it's a Cake Wrecks Theme Bakery!!

June 10, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterModestGirl

Hahahaha! I would be first in line to get my cake there! Oh, it's "perfect"!

June 10, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterKristine

Awesome.

Perfect, indeed!

June 10, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterM K Glass

The owner/sign maker must read cake wrecks....great marketing technique!!

Or not. We need spies to go here and scrutinize everything they do.

June 10, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

Totttallly awesome!

June 10, 2009 | Unregistered Commenter*THE Disneyland Mom*

That is Awesome!! You'll have to check out their cakes once they open. :)

June 10, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterAnna Kauz

absolutely too funny.

June 10, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterMaggie Nellie

Well, at least they didn't spell it with a "U".

June 10, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterRhett Soveran

Oh I hope so!

June 10, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterBrookely90

Awesome baner!

June 10, 2009 | Unregistered Commenterzenbecca

Oh my goodness, I just noticed the extra M' in Comming. ;) This is interesting!

June 10, 2009 | Unregistered Commenterlaura

Does this count as a double wreck? I mean the sign folk didn't catch it before it went out the door, and the cake folk went ahead and put it up.... Maybe they were hoping the humor would bring the customers a'runnin.

Becky

hahahaha, wv: wantse - The customers will come just because they wantse how bad the cakes really are.

June 10, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

Ahahahahahaha! Priceless. XD

June 10, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterMelissa (& Billy)

The cake shop owner apparently needed to write "Coming with one M" on the order form, but then again we know how that invariably turns out...

June 10, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

I'm trying to figure out how to pronounce that. Comming as in Commuting?

June 10, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterKristen

Oh, the wrecks they will make!

June 10, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterBobbi

maybe it's an online bakery? i.e .comming soon.

sorry, that's the best I could do!

June 10, 2009 | Unregistered Commenterjoanne wardle

I am so excited to see what comes out of this place!

June 10, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterGeans

I can't wait to see the wrecks that come out of that bakery. I'm sure they'll be perfect.
