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? ;)

Put The Coffee DOWN

It's not often that a baker submits on of his/her own creations for us to pick on. But Maayan, who both bakes and documents funny food horrors, did just that.

The following diet-assisting monstrosity was actually ordered by a customer. And what is it?


Go ahead, guess. I'll wait...

Spaghetti with tomato-y cream sauce?

An ear?

A cherry, Cheez-Whiz and regurgitation torte?

Nope, nope and nope! Give up?

It's a fetus-with-an-iPod pie!

Uh, I guess fetus cookies would have been going too far?

Thanks to Maayan Z. for being such a great sport!

What the hell??? That's all I can say!

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterNikalady

I think I see how this happened:

One guy: "Are you going to feed us pie?"
Second guy: "Yeah, feed us pie!"
Mob: "Feed us pie! Feed us pie!"
Frenzied mob: "Fetus pie! Fetus pie!"

*blink* ummmm. Does the fetus realize there is a mjor case of worms going on around it?

OH MY GOD, MY EYES!

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered Commenterevilsciencechick

OH Holy Mother of God!!!! There should be a warning before that picture. Some of us haven't eaten our breakfast yet (and now may never eat again).

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterStria

Oh my... I lost consciousness for a minute there. Didn't think it was possible, but I have officially lost any desire for cake EVER AGAIN.

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterThe Courteous Chihuahua

why?

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterLeah Hollett

I don't know if the vernacular exists to even describe how disgusting that is, both in concept and execution! On the plus side, it looks pretty much the same before you eat it as it does when it comes back up.

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered Commenter7th Row Center

That has to be the most disgusting thing I have ever seen.

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterNichole Loves Cake

fetus pie?
yum.

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterThe Chick!

Whaaaaa???? *sigh*

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered Commentersharalyns

I was going to guess an upper and lower intestine.

do you mean ordered by the customer? YUCK!

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

Beats my guess, which was "a stomach that has been assimilated by the Borg"

I'm speechless. And horrified.

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterLinda

iPuked.

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

Wow, I thought it was a human organ with some sort of medical device attached...I do work in a hospital though.

Did the people who ordered this like it?!?!

wv: ingsync: I sure hope that fetus isn't listening to ingsync.

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterAmanda M.

I...I...I don't feel well now.

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered Commentermelissaknits

Thanks for the coffee warning, Jen, but you should have also given a food warning: "Caution, this wreck is not just diet-assisting, it's diet-inducing!"

Seriously icky. I was thinking about breakfast a few minutes ago, but now... I'll stick with coffee, thanks.

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterLynette

wow, that is foul.

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterLaura

Holy cow. I thought it was some kind of internal organ (intestines, pancreas, something) with an iPod. I'd never have guessed the fetus. I think I sense my breakfast coming back to visit me.......

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterTrevor

I call shenanigans! This is a PIE, not a cake, and therefore does not count as a wreck......or something.
Just getting that out there early, maybe you wont get 8,000 camments like that. Or maybe you will. Meh

I really want to say "I can't believe someone ordered that.", but I have been reading this site for far too long and its no suprise. Gross.

I just hope its Mozart they are puttin through to that bebeh.

Becky

wv: khanymb - probably all a fetus can hear on an ipod.....they gots no ears!

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

i thought it was a brain with an ipod implanted. i was on the right track, but not nearly gross enough.

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterSummer, Andy and Audrey

Well, I'm not sure how something could be ordered by a "custom", but if a custom were to order something, it would only make sense that it would be something strange.

This is the most disgusting thing I've ever seen!

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterSarali

Wow, I thought it was a stomach...yeesh, people are SO weird! LOL!

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered Commenterkimberly-327

I just threw up in my mouth a little.

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered Commenterknitwit

Ew. That's about all I can say.

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterClaire

Oh, gag! That is totally gross. What WAS the customer thinking????

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterDee

Looks positively delish... in a completely repugnant and grotesque way.

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterAlix

Oh man, that's grim. I could have sworn it was a cochlear implant - equally grim.

way to wreck!

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterDearness

*gag*

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterKelly

Urk.

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered Commentervb

Ooooh, what a disgusting way to start a Thursday. Thanks!

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered Commenterrosellajo

That's disgusting!! I must confess i thought it was a pre-gastric bypass pie. That would have been ironic, right?

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

I hadn't eaten breakfast yet...I may wait now...lol

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterKat

say it ain't so. please.

btw, anatomically speaking, that's one helluva umbilical cord, assuming that's what the squiggly thing is around said fetus.

sheeeesh. i can only hope he's listening to dylan ...

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterTerry Lee

Eeeeeeeeeeeeew! That is even more disturbing than the children watching the jaw being cut off the life size Vladimir Lenin cake.

People are so unnaturally proud of those sonogram/ultrasound photos.

Eew. Eeew.

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterSharon

What's really scary, or perhaps sad, is I guessed it correctly on the first try.

Something this horrible has to have a back story. Does the baker know it, or did he just fulfill the order unquestioningly?

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterMartin

That is absolutely...stunning!

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterSuzette

I was going with an x-ray of a stomach after ingesting an ipod. Bluuurgh.

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered Commentermrs. q.

ew. at first glance, I thought that was one of those deals where you get your large intestine 'stapled' or 'tied' so you lose weight.

Your revelation didn't lower the disgusting quota much.

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

Perhaps the customer just wanted to instigate one of those devilishly charming, friendship-killing dinner party debates by taking the pro-life argument to the next level... "So the idea of carving up a music-loving fetus bothers you, does it? Uh? UH?"

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

I guessed it, too.

I think the internet has made me callow, though. While I find that weird and unappetitising, I do not find it horrifying, and I'll be eating my breakfast now, hum.

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterJessie

All I can say is thank god Stanley Kubrick didn't get a load of this cake. 2001 may have had a TOTALLY different ending.

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered Commentermudslicker

Frack, that's gross. WHY???

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterMiranda

whyyyyy?

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered Commentervery married

what really freaks me out is that I guessed right! I then dismissed my guess as not remotely possible, since no-body was likely to order a foetus-with-ipod anything!

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterCaite

my eyes are bleeding
my stomach is churning
I may die this very instant

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterLittle Lovables

It's just a fetus people...with an ipod. What's they big deal? I bet many feti would love to have something to pass the time in there. :)
