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'd love a calendar to go with my book!

you're way more funny than jerry seinfeld.

Gone bananas! Back soon.

Being diabetic, I tended to stay away from the cake aisle at the grocery store. However since becoming addicted to this site, I can't resist looking for Cake Wrecks and this pseudo-technophobe may even splurge on a camera phone just to record the wrecks I find.

Whomever invented cupcake cakes deserves to be dressed in a clown suit... shot out of a cannon....into the Pacific Ocean....near an island inhabited by cannibals.

Hey Dud, does this clown taste funny to you?

It's Jerry Seinfeld's newest role as Banana Council Spokesperson.

Sometimes I think decorators say, "Eh, it's just for a kid. They won't know the difference."

But hey, they're kind of right, kids today don't know who (or what) Seinfeld is.

p.s. I'm also imagining how horrifying this would be if it were a flying monkey...

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterSammie

Never having watched Seinfeld, I have to resort to another sitcom of the 90's.
Could that monkey BE any more disformed?

I would love win an autographed copy of your book! I think cakewrecks and epbot are SUPER awesome... In fact, in my application to Princeton, I'm listing cakewrecks as my favorite website. (true story)

I'm quite intrigued by this Seinfeld- headed monkey's limb placement. Not quite sure how that monkey moves around with such wackado limbs. . . or how it copes with a hand in the middle of its' arm.

My husband loves Seinfeld more than just about anything...I don't really care for it? (Sorry!)

I have to admit that it's a little creepy seeing those pictures together. I'm going to have to take them home and let him see for himself!

As always, love the blog!

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterCallie

Cake(wrecks book) please!

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterJessica

If that monkey had been decorated with a full set of teeth, it would have been a frightening doppleganger.

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered Commenterthesacredandtheprofane

heLLLLOOOOOO

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterPandora

Pick me John! Pick me! Pick me!

Bananas are an excellent source of potassium. They make a great on the go snack as they are portable,and dont require washing or knives for peeling. Pick one up today.

Did you know the easiest way to peel a banana is like the monkeys do. Simply squueze the BOTTOM stem and the skin will split apart easily.

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered Commenterkwcinderella

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterJayde

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterJessicaMarie

imagine if you will a certain whiny pitch in the voice--"Why does 2% milk taste good with cake, but tastes different with cupcakes?"

call me bananas!!

Sam i am

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered Commentermusikartlvr

Best imitiation of that no-talent Seinfeld I've ever seen.... I think it even channeled his personality!

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterRobin

I'md dying for a calendar!

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterJen L.

Pick me! I have the book, now I need the calendar. Didn't even know there WAS a calendar until today. :)

My cellular, bananular phone!

Banana phone, ring ring ring!

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterJosie

"Get out of here!!!!"

But really, you are not the only one that sees the resemblance.

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered Commenterangieruns.com

I've been instructed to stay away from breads and NO sweets for 2 weeks, so you know I'm just dyin' for some cake... but THAT ccc (ptooey!) makes the craving flat out RUN away. Yikes.

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAngie

Never mind Seinfeld. That CCC Monkey is scary on its own merits.

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered Commenterdrumnate

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterKaitlyn (IUB)

I'm sort of afraid, since I've been reduced to soft foods like bananas (I broke a tooth off last night)and would hate to appear as part of this ccc setup.

WV cangshin I am trying to cangshin on the pity vote to get a calendar.

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered Commenterdrgns4vr

Uncanny.

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAli

I love your site... I think about it each time I go to order a cake!!! :)

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterHollie

Hahaha! And I'd still love a book ;)

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered Commenteramchornetgirl

If the contest is open for international readers, count me in. :o)
Also, the Seinfeld/cake monkey resemblance is all kinds of uncanny and creeps me out.

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

Sorry, my last post went without my name...
As I said, if the contest is open to international readers, please count me in!!

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterEva H.

I'll enter for the giggles.

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterSpud31

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterEmily

I'm seeing Rodney Dangerfield.

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterKara

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterEWebey

What is it with cupcake cakes?

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterLivingInSong

I'm trying to figure out what the other two pale cupcakes are for... the ones that obviously aren't part of his limbs.

And although I am in the process of teaching my nephew to love monkeys, I now know to never get him a monkey cupcake cake.

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterJuliana

Here I go, trying again. :)

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterBeht Spellman

Never thought I'd see a ccc actually resemble someone without really trying. The creator must have been denied soup. ;-)

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterStampin'Cat

That CCC (bleh) creeps me out. Please enter me for the book. =)

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterShelby

I just got a book for my birthday and would love a calendar. I take my book to my cake decorativ classes that I teach.

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered Commentermon amy

I sure would love to win. Being that I'm home sick with a virus that my adorable plague carrier..uh mean 3 year old child has so thoughtfully given me. Since he's totally into Monkeys it seemed fitting that I enter under this "spectacular" monkey cc!
