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? ;)

Is It Just Me?

I just wanted to say that, although I don't post comments, I have read your blog almost since the beginning. I work in a book store and it was really nice to see your book for sale there when it came out. Congrats on the success. :)

I agree... they could be twins!

wv: uttur

The simian CCC is an "uttur" fail. I'm just sayin'.

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered Commenterdebbo

I'm always wary of food that could kill me, and that includes bananas. That's one of the scariest cakes you've ever posted.

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered Commentermimiheart

That is one ugly monkey I agree!!! And the CCC is AWFUL too....

I would LOVE to win a calendar..

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAngie of MI

For what it's worth, I did read that in Seinfeld's voice, so your impression is good enough for me!

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterTudor Rose

Well, you what THE DOCTOR says:

"Always take a banana to a party, Rose. Bananas are good."

(Right now I am listening to the fun song, "I can't decide" by the Scissor Sisters. I love going on You Tube and watching The Master sing it to The Doctor!)

What a resemblance.....

I mean, can you just find a banana lying on the ground? And if you did, would you eat the banana? What's the deal?

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAndreaClaire

What needs to be done to end the era of the CCC (patooie!)? Its getting absurd. (but thats part of the hilarity, I suppose...)

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterLiss

i have to say, the first thing i thought of when seeing that money was "holy crap, those are a huge pair of . . ."

or do i just have an incredibly dirty mind??

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterKatherine

i deserve to finally win and i *heart* bananas. that is all.

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered Commenterjen bryner

The comparsion is both hilarious and creepy. I can't stop staring at that monkey face (the cake, I mean).

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAngela

How many legs does this monkey have? Is it a spider monkey?!

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterCara

that is a weird resemblance! and that calendar sounds awesome! [:

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterMandar

Hmmmmm... maybe his wife can write a banana cupcake book next!

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterKaryl

I *DO* want to win! I do I do I do!

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterMaggie Bailey

OMG, that's scary!

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterLarissa

Seinfeld endorses bananas -not mutant monkeys. It's cool, though. Common misconception.

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterCheryl

Egad that must be a GM monkey. Nature can't do that!

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterLady of the loch

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm cake.

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterStay

No cake for you!

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterRamona

Gotta love Seinfeld!!

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterValerie

There must be a Seinfeld frilly-shirt CCC somewhere. *shudder* Wait, nevermind, I hope not.

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterLoJ

What is the DEAL with that cake? What is it - cupcakes or a cake? The bakery needs to make up it's mind! And why does it look like me?

Hmmmm....you post a picture of Seinfeld and you're also having a "contest"....hmmmmm. ;-D

LOL@Jen Price! Kramer is hilarious!

I'd like a wall calendar please. I am a faithful henchperson!

wv: othors. Jen and john (the hubby of Jen) are the othors of the Cake Wrecks blog.

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterLoo-E Loo-I

You take the monkey's side, go ahead!

Jen - Look to the cookie!!

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterMelawnie

LOL that was good. Thank you Jen Price, that was spot on.

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterStella

It's fitting that you are giving away a calender that says "Nothing" from a post referencing a show about nothing. I'm just sayin'. :)

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterMeghan

lol! I see it.

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterSuzie G.

The only thing I'll give the wreckerator here is that s/he didn't resort to plastic flotsam for the face, it is made of actual icing. Though putting a human face on a monkey is mighty strange. And what's up with those appendages? The only identifiable one is the tail...

Please, please, please pick me for your totally awesome, fantabulous, out-of-this-world CakeWrecks calendar!

Thank you.

WV miterti - Miterti looks better than this poo-covered CCC (ptooie!).

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAnne-Marie M.

Ooohhhh...Cupcake Jerry! YUMmy!

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterLabyrinth Gal

Cupcake cake Seinfeld joke... you learn something new every day.

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAdam O

"No Cupcake for You" **second worse Seinfeld impression

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterMichelle

you guys asking for witty comments the entire week is wearing me out!

llama?

Thats all I got. If I win with this half hearted comment I'll be super embarassed (but happy)!

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterKaryn

Oh my! That is so funny! It took me a second, but the more you look at it the more they look alike!

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterPatches

I love this site! It gets me through the workday :)

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterKira N.

Forget the face! I am trying to figure out it's legs....

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterLeJoy

Maybe Jerry likes monkey-banana-CCC's...not that there's anything wrong with that. Yada, yada, yada...blah, blah, blah.

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterMindy

haha that's A-Mazing! It does look like him!

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterMeagan

No more monkey business!!

Kerri S

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterKerri

Hmmm, I was so distracted by the cake limbs pointing off in random directions that I didn't even notice the face. Wrecky on so many levels.

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterMarianne O

I would love a copy of the book or calendar. Cakewrecks.com is one of my sites I go to everyday. I love the monkey and Seindfeld. Pick me to win, i never win anything.

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterPamela

I've been reading cake wrecks for awhile now, and I would love a book! (I've recommended the site to a bunch of people too, including one person getting ready to pick wedding cakes.)

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAriana

I can see it... if i squint... sideways... ;P

Not that there's anything wrong with that

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterJenni

Gol dangit, what does it take to win the autographed book!?? It would make my day to win! :)

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAndrew S

Good post! Love the blogs and would love a goodie of some sort - calendar, book, etc....
