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? ;)

I Call Fowl

I dunno, would you say some hen-pecked Wreckerator just winged this one?


I mean, I don't want to ruffle any feathers, but this isn't exactly poultry in motion.

Now this, on the other hand...

Yep, that's a dead ringer.

Hey Dana S. & Elin A., you know the expression "running around like a chicken with its head cut off"? Well, apparently, if they keep their heads, they just lay there niiiice and still-like.

Poor plucked chicken -- his little wings are on backward and someone has stolen his drumsticks

I would totally bring that to my inlaws for a holiday desert!

ummmm...I'm having a hard time finding any depth to that first masterpiece. It really strikes me as though they might have milked a few chickens to get that color variation for the frosting. I'm just sayin', ya know?

Between this website and the peopleofwalmart.com today, I haven't been able to have a normal thought. I just wanted you to know I may be mentally scarred for life now, but I will always come back for more!!! Rubberneckers make wrecks rule!!!!

Missing your drumsticks?
These cakes STILL manage to march
to their own sweet beat.

Haiku Joy's husband on the first cake: "If Predator, Alien, and a chicken had a love child, this would be its birthday cake."

I'm sure I've written this before, but I'll post it again. As a vegetarian and a cake lover, I am offended.

Not really, but kind of. A little.

I actually like that second one. Just don't confuse it with the real Thanksgiving turkey!

I must say I chuckled at "poultry in motion"

Pullet Surprise? Anyone else get that? Wow.. Maybe it's just me but that's borderline pure genius...

Looks like a stuffed rubber chicken. Maybe the Swedish chef had enough of the Bok Bok Bok's.

Hey, I'll take a big piece of white meat from that second one!! =D

I think the first one's a groom's cake, ordered by the best man. The subtext: You cock-blocked me, man!

September 30, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterLindsay Beyerstein

That second one is really a cake? That's awesome! It's quite well done....but somehow I'd be afraid to eat it fearing it would TASTE like chicken!

They have to lay there "niiice and still-like" when they have no legs!!

With his head cranked around backwards, he's saying "Hey, go find your own sticks to beat the drums!!...Awwcckkk.....AAAWWWCCCKKK.....Aawwcckk!!"

Did anyone else notice that the first chicken is walking on water?
