Two Thumbs Up!
September 18, 2009 Ah, it warms the very cockles of my heart to see Hollywood embracing the Wreckage.
For example, check out what showed up on this week's episode of Glee:
As I'm sure you've guessed, this was for the shop teacher who'd just returned to work after accidentally cutting off his thumbs. Naturally they served him a whole hand, too, which he then had to eat without the benefit of a fork:
It's enough to make me think we need a new spin-off: Awkward Cake Wreck Photos. Eh? Guys?
"Ok," you're thinking, "but that's just a TV show. No one would actually order..."
"Uh..."
"Ack!"
Yeeeah. You were saying?Oh, and we can't forget this gem:
(Yes, it's a repeat; I just couldn't help myself.)MV, Angela A., & Anony M., thanks for giving me a hand with this post; I think we nailed it.

I saw that episode of Glee. So glad you put a pic of that awesome cake! The best part was watching the guy trying to eat it with no thumbs. Love that it was a roomful of guys trying to cheer him up. Well played!
"Your day has arrived"... yeah, I thought the scentence to an end. I could mean: "Your day has arrived.... Pay now, or we will send the rest of your wife to you. Piece by piece..."
these are just so funny. I can't imagine what the wreackator things when taking hte call, "you want a thumb? mmmmkay"
I'm so glad you included the Glee cake in the wreckage today. All I could think when I watched the episode was "that cakes belongs on Cake Wrecks!" Then I found myself wondering if the script writer and props people are secret CW fans, and were aiming for a mention on the blog. One can only hope!
creepy cakes is right!

That scene in Glee was great.
I would cry if someone sent me a "Your Has Arrived Cake" like that. Scary. Very scary.
Oh, when I saw that cake on Glee, I immediately thought of Cake Wrecks!
I acutally had a middle school shop teacher with missing fingers from an accident in class the year before!
I saw that episode of Glee last night and when that cake was shown, I thought of Cake Wrecks. So funny to come here today and see you posting about it.
Oh great. Now I need a thumb cake.
I'm kind of wondering if the person the show hired to make that wreck-tastic cake was so good at their job that they could make it look disgusting and slightly badly made or whether they hired a genuine wreckorator.
I'm glad you caught the Glee cake, I was looking for screen caps of it yesterday to send you!
I have actually made a severed finger cookie (gingerbread complete with jam filling blood and marshmallow bone) for the spouse the year Sweeny Todd came to our area for Christmas stuck out of a meat pie with tickets underneath, and while it was gross ^_^ and good-natured, these are a bit disturbing.
Oh, Jen! I was laughing my head off while watching that most recent show of Glee. I wanted to run right over and post a comment so you'd write a blog about it. Unfortunately, our computer was still on the blink!
I'm glad to see you went ahead and read my mind!
Great post!!!
OH NO!!! What am I to do. My neice is having her 9th birthday party at Color Me Mine. And she has submitted her cake design request.
A painter's paint palette, a paint brush, a small figure of a dog (which should look half painted) and then here it is:
There needs to be a thumb coming up out of the hole in the painter's palette!
Uhm Sweetie are you sure, that could look a bit creepy?
Nope! I think it will be cool and funny!
sigh...cakewrecks.com here I come.
LOL
That's funny! I saw that episode and IMMEDIATELY thought how wreckish it was!
ewwwwww! ewwwww! ewwww!
I thought the cake on Glee was so funny!
I'm not really sure what a PSP has to do with "Happy Marriage"....
I'm kind of scared of the flesh colored frosting.
I just started reading your amazing blog, and had been showing my favourite entries to my Mum. Later we were watching Glee and she said, "That should totally be on Cake Wrecks!"
That last one looks more like a death threat- perhaps against someone who broke up a marriage. 0__o;
I was watching that episode the other day and was wondering if you were going to post something about that or not. I loved that cake!
I gotta hand it to ya — those are some seriously gross cakes.
Finger sandwiches, anyone?
>>>As soon as I saw that cake on Glee, I thought of Cake Wrecks!
Same here :-) But I *thought* people would have better taste in real life. (Obviously, I'm a slow learner. After all, if Cake Wrecks has taught us anything, it's that there are plenty of disturbed people out there! And that many of them, apparently, have jobs in bakeries.)

I so thought of this site when I saw Glee on Wednesday night!
Body parts just don't work on cakes.....they always look severed which never really brings the message intended.
Keep on bringing on the good wrecks!
Does no one else think that the *hands* on the first cake look like gorilla feet?
Because they do; those hands are distorted, disproportionate, and anatomically CREEPY.
Palms are supposed to be a bit concave, not all bulgey and gross...
(Hmmmm, kind of like my ex father-in-law's...
Come to think of it, HE looked like a gorilla.)
Can we change the subject?
=^uu^=
I wonder if there are any walnut cakes involving thumbs.... Might be a sinister takeover by our distant neighbors the twiloites... Anyway with all the talk of digits and TV shows that just popped into my head...
I'm glad to see the cake from Glee on this site. When they brought out the cake all I could think of was, "Oh, I hope someone gets a picture of this because it's perfect for Cake Wrecks!"

I saw the cake on Glee and instantly thought of you. It makes me so happy you've featured it!
I find VeggieT's comment (September 18, 2009 9:44 AM) quite offensive. Why do some people automatically believe ALL the misspelled (or grammatically incorrect) Cake Wrecks are done by non-native speakers of English? I wish you (CW's moderators) will not allow such comments as this one by VeggieT to be published in the future.
That PSP cake would actually look awesome without those creepy... thumbs?

Seems apropos to post a link to the Tom Lehrer song I Hold Your Hand in Mine:

Anon @ 2:39,
You know, maybe this is just one of those instances when I am Mr. Positive, but when I meet someone who speaks broken English, my response is always, "Don't feel bad...you speak much better English than I speak (fill in the blank)." Dutch. Spanish. Swahili. I admire those who have taken the time to learn my language and I am pretty ashamed of myself for never quite learning one myself. Aside from the cursing, of course. I can curse in 9 languages.
All that to say that I guess I think it's kinder to assume that the baker speaks 12 language pretty well and struggles with a few phrases than to assume that the baker is unintelligent.
On a side note, I found it interesting that I was immediately inclined to be offended on your behalf even though I don't agree with you. I even read Veggie T's comment several times to see if I should take it down. I think we Americans have been so well trained that we're always ready to be offended.
Next time put your name,

Some things just shouldn't be made into cakes...like human body parts. http://blog.sweetservices.com/sweetscandyblog/
My favorite show mentioned on my favorite blog. This is truly momentous.
Something about eating flesh coloured cake... I don't think I'd want to.
ahahaha i saw that episode! it make me think of your website! :D
I saw that episode of glee and immediately thought of cake wrecks. And I loved when they gave him the entire thumb. :) Glad to see it on here...
Now what I am wondering is why anyone would ever need a cake of a severed finger!
I totally saw this when I watched Glee and IMMEDIATELY THOUGHT of cakewrecks. I am so glad you captured this!
Oh man, that second photo is priceless! The guy in the background looks like he'd rather be anywhere else. Awwwwkward.
Serves them broads right. I CAN'T STAND the whole "YOUR special day" bridzilla ubbersexism business. Like it's not HIS day, too. Like, non-brides or post-brides never have "special days". Like getting married means Bridzilla somehow became a superior being compared to the rest of us slobs. (For you fellow Catholics, this does count as a sin of idolatry. Hit the floor and give me twenty Hail Mary's, you white-dressed #*@@(%!!!) ARGGHHH!!!!!
No, really. I HATE the whole "your special day" business!!!!!!!!!
Have a nice day. Every day. Everybody.
good to see you're a gleek too! i was def thinking of your blog when i saw the cake!
