Teaming With Wreckage
November 30, 2010 The only thing I know about sports is that hitting the man in black over the head with a rock is NOT very sportsmanlike. Still, even *I* can see something's off with these sports team cakes.
I mean, c'mon, who takes a lovely sunburned R.O.U.S. like this:
...and turns it into Disney's Mushu, twisted up like a pretzel?
P.S. For you non-Disney folk, this is Mushu:
This next one is much better, though:
Bwahahaha!! Yes, I lied. Get used to disappointment.
How about a simple star?
Think it'll work?
Correct answer: "It would take a miracle."At this point it's just morbid curiosity keeping you going, isn't it? [nodding] Yeah. I'm right there with ya.
[blinking] Hoo boy. Anyone else have a bad feeling about this?
Oh. Well, I guess it could be worse..
It's worse, it's worse!Hey, you know those videos online where you see the freight train headed for the tanker truck full of gasoline, and part of you is cringing and thinking what a horrible tragedy is about to occur, and the other part is all, "Oh man, this is gonna be GOOD!"
Well, allow me to introduce a tanker truck full of gasoline:
Now, heeeere comes the freight traaaaaiiiin!! (Choo choo!)
KERBLOOOIEEE!!!
Thanks to today's Wreckporters Steve R., Rebecca W., Tug T., Valerie, & Stephanie, who would never get involved in a land war in Asia.

Great post! Princess Bride rocks. And to the wreckerators: I do not think it means what you think it means.
To the pain...I leave you in anguish, wallowing in freakish misery, forever.
what's that last thing SUPPOSED to be? 'cause he's a happy blue frog in cake....
meanwhile, those fleurs-de-lis look like belted babies--one with a tail, and one with a gimpy foot. utterly frightening.
wv: accalis. maybe it's not a pimple. maybe it's just accalis.
Wow!! Who knew that Lord Voldemort was the Broncos new mascot!! Gee I thought he would have much preferred Quidditch over football!
I am now wiping tears from my eyes...
You could do PB quotes every day! They NEVER get old. Any PB cakes out there?
I seriously fall more in love with you guys every time you speak Princess Bride to me. (Wow, that sounds so stalker crazy. Oops)
GO SUNBURNED R.O.U.S.-es!! (That's awkward. I'll have to keep cheering for the Hogs, I guess)
These cakes are inconceivable!
My 5 year old thought the second Saint's cake was a gingerbread man! :)
Princess Bride theme!!! I love it! The demonic Bronco was the best lol- WHY!
"who are you? I must know!"
"Get used to disappointment."
Dear Jen, I adore you for your princess bride references.
Now find me a Fezzik cake ok?
Yay, Princess Bride! Have you read the book?
The first Saints cake attempted fleur de lis looks like a dead lizard wearing a Michelle Obama signature belt.
LOL this cake wrecks made my morning!
My name is Inigo Montoya. Today is my birthday. Prepare to eat cake.
Good way to celebrate, Jen, thanks for the laffs!
The Broncos cake looks like the creature for the 4th Alien Movie!
Well, you were remarkably apropos or just incredibly nerdy with the Princess Bride quotes. Apparently (according to the facebook princess bride page) today is Inigo's birthday. So Happy Birthday Inigo!
Hello! My name Inigo Montoya. Today is my birthday. Prepare to celebrate.
Okay, I am not that clever. That was the facebook quote. But good anyway!
whoa! That may not be a bronco, but it's a dead-accurate Scarran (from Farscape)!
LOL'd right from the start. I just watched Princess Bride yesterday.
LOVE this post!!
By the way...I believe the quote you're looking for is...
No more rhymes now...I mean it.
Anybody want a peanut?
Ironically...the WV is Saltys
I am a current TCU student -- and we are the horned frogs! It's this little spiney lizzard found in Fort Worth that apparently shoots blood out of its eyes (or at least the bakeries around here think they do?). If you guys could only see the absolute tragedies of baked goods that are produced around here... it's enough for a whole post! Especially lately because our football team is likely headed to the Rose Bowl, there are all these cakes with "frogs" and roses, it looks like a giant bloody purple masacre. I understand that a horned frog is an ambiguous mascot but that's what the internet is for!
*facepalm*
To the pain... so seriously, when viewing this set of wrecks.
I'm still cringing. And whinging.
I'd love a peanut. It might take my mind off the sight of that unknown cake. I mean it.
BTW - love the blue frog song.
Elizabeth C. -- Well played!!

Horned toad, blue frog, same difference, right?
Yep it is official. My brain has just exploded from these cakes lol. And I loved the R.O.U.S reference. Wow haven't seen "Princess Bride" in forever. Must read the book again too..
Props on the Princess Bride quotes! Always a solid choice. I would like to point out, and thank you, for the Star Wars reference as well. Hee! You made my day so much better!
"What an incredible smell you've discovered," could be applied to the cakes.
(Am I the only one who saw the SW reference?)
What have you done with Grover's nose?!
To me, the Broncos logo looks like a flaming hell's angel skull and the last cake looks like Grover unfortunately in the "little monsters" room.
I snorked on my pizza just now. That's a mix of choking on pizza and blwoing it out my nose simultaneously.
After looking at all those cakes...anybody want a peanut?!!!
GO TEAM! Go team. Go team?.... Oh, forgeddabowtit.
That last one WTF?!
You KILLED my cake...Prepare to DIE.
Oh my gracious! The Razorback cake...no wonder it was on Manager Special (though it wasn't marked down ENOUGH, if you ask me) The Bronco's cake - anyone else see Skeletor? :)
That blue monstrosity in the last cake wreck is just strange. What the heck were they thinking.
Freaky Frog at the end looks disturbingly like No Face in the film "Spirited Away." Yes? Yes? Anyone else see the resemblance? Do I sense a post on Anime cakes gone horribly wrong in the offing?
Okay, so... does the middle Saints cake look to anyone else like a man wearing a belt and, erm... well endowed? o_O
Am i the only one thinks the Bronco wreck looks like Voldemort?
I was throwing up all day Sunday and didn't have much of a reason to laugh at ALL until I woke up Monday morning to this HILARIOUS post! OH man, and I'm not even a sports fan. You guys are AWESOME!
Only you could mingle sports and Princess Bride quotes with such aplomb.
Cracked up at the last one. Almost snorted rice. IMMLunchBreak
Well, before Disney, there was just mushu pork, am I right?
I could understand HOME bakers coming up with indescribable birthday cakes, but the worst offenders today (and usually everyday at Cake Wrecks) are the STORE bakeries. A SKULL AND CROSSBONES ON LIPS? What's the message--"I'm dying to kiss you"? "Kiss me and you're DEAD"?
I think that last cake was made by the same Wreckerator that created the Baby Tristan cake last summer! http://cakewrecks.blogspot.com/2009/07/baby-showers.html
How could they get the star wrong?! It's a basic shape you learn in preschool!

the horse looks like one of the gargoyle-dogs in ghostbusters :)
Elizabeth C- you are as cool as Jen & John!!! lol
either I missed it or no one realized we finally have the answer to wrecks: they were frosting left handed!!!!!
-Barbara Anne
wow, that denver broncos logo totally looks like voldemort :]
The bronco logo cake looked to me like Lord Voldemort's ace pushing itself out of an unfortunately colored Quirrel. But that could just be me.
As a fellow horned frog (TCU) I must say... wow, that is one pathetic cake! A frog =/= horned frog, baker friend. Excuse me while I go cry and find out which bakery to NOT buy my TCU cake from for the bowl game! :)
I totally just used the Broncos wreck to design a monster for a comic book I'm making. It's making me hope even more that I eventually get published.
