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 SO want a calendar!!!

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAllison

I don't guess there's any reward in trying to make sense out of a CCC, but the resemblance is pretty striking...

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterMaryanne & Duke

Pick me. Pick me. Said the banana or the poster wanting to win.

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered Commentergrowmyown

I'd love a book or a calendar! Thanks for the chance.

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered Commenterlangela

Is that what they mean when they call it a "chunky monkey"?

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered Commenterka.middleton

Thanks for the giggle today.

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterJessica K

I'd love a calendar! Love your site!

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterSharon

I hate it when they turn cupcakes into something like that. It's horrible!

I'm still trying to figure out which one's the cake!

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterDoug

The popular "brown monkey with a banana" creeps me out...

I'd rather see a black and white capuchin with an orange, quite honestly. Highly underrated.

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterKate

That is one ugly monkey!

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterKristin

A co-worker just mentioned how she thought cupcake cakes were cute, and I about punched her.

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterLaura M.

Bananas do your body good

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterTinu

last chance already? I hope I win. And you are sooooo right about the seinfeld/monkey guy!

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterCarli

What is the DEAL with cupcake cakes? They're not cupcakes, and they're not cakes!

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterErin - Thrift Madness

Lot of icing on the monkey there! And it does resemble Seinfeld.

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered Commentermetsa

Not what I wanted to see this morning!

That's the most horrendous monkey CCC (patooie!) you've ever posted.

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterKatie

Um, what's the deal with those... I don't even know what they are! Monkeyboobs??

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered Commentertessler

Hey Jerry, the jungle called. They're running out of bananas!

I'd love a copy of the book! :)

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAnne

I was just calendar shopping yesterday. I was debating between Marc Chagal and chickens. A Cake Wrecks Calendar would certainly end the debate.

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered Commenterrockandrollcannibal

Would love a book or calendar!

Sandra

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterSandra

I'm one of those folks who never understood the popularity of "Seinfeld." I think he and the monkey cake bear an excellent resemblance!

I think the Jerry Monkey is kinda cool.... Put me in for winning something :) Love you

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterFifi's Sweet Stuff

Very close resemblance!

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterShania

I always call my little boys my monkeys...I think this post has me wanting to change that nickname!! lol

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterMcConnehey

HaHa! he's just trying to get away from the Bee movie lookalike. and yes, I so wants your book

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterLittle Lovables

The fact that I did not win is Bananas! B-a-n-a-n-a-s!

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterPip

I'm in agreement with Dr. Who, Bananas are good! These guys are scary, but Bananas are good!

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterRosen Creature

I think the monkey has an arm coming out of its boobs/chest area. Just a little creepy. Maybe Jerry likes disfigured monkeys....

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAshley Alley

Patedis. A dangerous infection of pate.

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterJayKuz

pick me pick me pick me. is tht enough begging? Love, Love to you and John. You are both such awesome people. I enjoy both of your sites on a daily basis. "too steamy" indeed. Great wedding pics. Have a superb weekend.

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered Commentertaichinovice

The extra long arm is freakin me out! And yes, there is some resemblance, wonder if it was on purpose?

-Reagan

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

Maybe he's made of cupcakes too?

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterKrista

I think that monkey needs a manzier or is it a bro?

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterLynn

comment!

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterErin

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

I'm ordering that cake for Festivus.

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterBakingdom

I bought a copy of Cake Wrecks for my sister-in-law for Christmas, but I fell in love with it and am having a hard time convincing myself to give it up. Money is too tight to buy a second one, but if I won one then I wouldn't have to have this inner struggle.....

Okay, enough of the pity party. Life goes on, and I am sure I will talk myself into giving it to her by Christmas.

Love the Seinfeld monkey!!

flededge: I got nothing....maybe it is a new kind of ledging product?

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterJuliaKoponick

Hah! It does look like him.

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterMichelle

Seriously, it would make my week to win the book (or the calendar)!

I'll spare you the pity-me story, but just know this gal goes through a lot, and loves a good laugh!

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterPrairie

I'm torn between commenting, "Yadda yadda yadda," or "NO CAKE FOR YOU." So here's both.

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered Commenterabi

Maybe the monkey is just trying to network at a conference.

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterRue

I would be ecstatic to get a calendar. My husband gave me your book last Christmas and I've shared it with all my friends. It is one of my favorites!!!!!

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered Commentersparky_writer

I like to eat eat eat eapeels and beneenees...and I'd also like a book...and cake. Wait this isn't santa's lap...sorry sir!

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.

Now I need to go clean coffee off my keyboard. (Winning something for all my pain and suffering would be nice too. I mean, that was good coffee!)

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterKimK

*batting eyes*
Even though that never works, but a girls gotta try! BEtter then flashing you, no one needs that.

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered Commentermzmclean
