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? ;)

We need more story to this one... although in a way, it does speak for itself, literally...
ladyk -- while your ordering skills do seem a bit more honed... i put my wrecktastic cap on and thought... hmm... she must want a cake with blue icing, the word OCEAN and cut into three separate but equal cakes... i wonder if i should write ocean on all three, or write ocean, then cut the cake... OC EA N ... hmmm.. ;-)
Actually, to be realistic (or it could be because of late hours) I could Imagine a scenario where a theater ordered a cake to celebrate it's installing of a three movie projector... and... the theater is in hawaii? Yeah that explains it.

EPIC.
I love this blog, so don't take this the wrong way, but this was my first "LOL" here in several weeks. Maybe I have become jaded from the endless parade of funny cakes. But a fail that epic just screams "inept" so loud that anyone within earshot HAS to laugh.

To all those who don't think this is possible or who just enjoyed this little dessert detour, check out this earlier Cake Wrecks entry in a similar theme:

Oh, classic wreckage. The kind that make everyone, modest and kinky, carrot lover and naked baby hater just united
united in a shake of the head
and a sound of laughter/saddness.
Thanks Jen. Thanks so much for doing all you do to unite the world.
I can't wait to see the wreckplica made out of cupcakes!
you have to find this baker, do an interview. they may actually be brilliant. either way it will be funny. ( :
Are you sure it wasn't a dyslexic baker making a cake for ED?

I'll be honest....if this were ordered over the phone, It would come looking like this. Hangs head in shame I am a literalist and the customer is always right...even when we think they're insane.
Customer Looking At Sheet Cakes: This ocean cake, can I have it in 3D?
Me: Sure.
Yep, I'm pretty sure I could do this.
I'm surprised they didn't put three Ds. DDD.

Bwahahaha! I love this one!
Fantastic! This ranks right up there with Happy Falker Satherhood Day, but different. Not really, actually, but it's still a WINNAH!
Wow . . . although this is absolutely ridiculous, it's very clever.
I designed letterhead for someone not long ago and she told the printer "put the same thing on the envelopes" so that's what he did, same size, everything the same, except he put it over in the corner (sort of. It was so big it took up most of the width of the envelope). She was furious and made the printer do it again and eat the "messed up" envelopes. But he had done exactly what she asked. What else can you do? It's not always the printer--or the person making the cake--who is the wreck!! People ask for stupid things and pay you for doing them.
There are no words...
Long time reader, first time commenter. Behold, my lame attempts at punning. I seriously laughed aloud hard at this for a good five minutes or so, and afterwards my head was swimming a little. I cannot fathom just how ridiculously amazing this wreck is, but it buoyed my spirits a fair amount. Was a three dimensional ocean cake one of the ordering options, I wonder? Did the wreckerator's creativity go adrift? Hopefully, at least, the fair amount of frosting on all those endpieces was enough to tide the guests of that party over for the night.
Okay, I'm done now. XD
*Smacks forehead*
Oh, now that is a wreck but I must admit, clever at the same time is a weird sort of way...I think the joke is on the person who ordered it...perhaps a decorator who needed a bit a cake therapy ?
This is awesome!!! I have to try it wish someone that wants me to make him/her a 3D cake!!! Genius!!!!
at least it wasn't
"DDD"
covered in blue icing...
