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? ;)

The 12 Wrecks Of Christmas

On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me:

A choking hazard in a treeeee.

On the second day of Christmas, my true love gave to me:

Two buttered bells,
And a choking hazard in a tree.

On the third day of Christmas, my true love gave to me:

Three whipped ghosts,
(And by "whipped," I mean they do what their wives tell them)
Two buttered bells,
And a study on the Heimlich for me.

On the fourth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me:

Four day-glo Santas,
Three whipped ghosts,
Two buttered bells,
And a bunch of crap in a gross tree.

On the fifth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me:

♪ Fiiiiiiiive molded 'shrooms! ♪
Four Santa blobs,
Three whipped ghosts,
Two buttered bells,
And a lot of flotsam in a gross tree.

Four day-glo Santas,
Three whipped ghosts,
Two buttered bells,

Four Santa blobs,
Three whipped ghosts,
Two buttered bells,
And a plastic coated nasty icing tree.

♫ ♪♫ Fiiiiive molded hallucinogenics!! ♪ ♫ ♫
Four Santa blobs,
Three whipped ghosts,
Two buttered bells,
And is anyone even still reading this?

On the ninth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me:

Nine kiwis riding... reindeer? Swans? Thestrals?
Eight I-think-he-hates-me,
Seven snowmen melting,
Six pounds of icing,

Four Santa blobs,
Three whipped ghosts,
Two buttered bells,
And a beer.

On the eleventh day of Christmas, my true love gave to me:

Eleven candy canes that kinda look like Slimey the Worm,

See?

Ten piles of nothing (You FORGOT?!),

Nine kiwis riding,
Eight runny egg yolks,
Seven snowmen melting,
Six pounds of icing,

And a reason to have the ER on speed dial.

On the twelfth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me:

Thirteen TWELVE fake flowers,
Eleven Slimey Canes,
Ten lots a' nothing,
Nine kiwis riding,
Eight counts of salmonella,

And a Cake Wrecks Calendar
for me!

Thanks to Michelle, Amanda C., Kyle C., Cheyanne, Joel S., Georgia T., Erin T., Monica K., NWM, Monica B., Jana S., & Jon D., who have been counting down the days 'til they could endorse a fine product like the 2011 Cake Wrecks Wall Calendar. [nodding earnestly] It's true. Take my word for it. No need to ask any of them. Or even check to see if they are, in fact, real people.

This is a hunch, but I'd bet that the baker for the 9th day of Christmas was feeling more like the Nightmare Before Christmas because they could almost pass for Zero the dog.

I not only read it, I was singing along with you! Very very funny. My big guy Sam is also extremely good with funny lyrics to well-known songs, and I still laugh after 6 years of marriage. - Jan

I knew I shouldn't have started trying to skip the "repetitions" in each verse. You caught me there!

On an entirely unrelated note, the actual creator behind Sandra Lee's disastrous Kwanzaa and Chanukah cakes has confessed: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/denise-vivaldo/kwanzaa-cake-sandra-lee-hanukkah-cake_b_797165.html. It's well worth a read for an insight into Sandra Lee's world, where truth turns out to be even stranger than fiction, and for the real reason why she stuffed marshmallows inside that Chanukah cake.

Fantastic!

December 16, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAmanda

SOOOO FUNNY!!! I laughed (and sang in my head) through the whole thing! You are hilarious! I have to tell you though, as funny as those mushrooms are, I actually made some a while back and they are DELISH!!! Meringue goodness. :)

December 16, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterKelly's Korner

Best. Post. Ever.

Well done!

December 16, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterSeenoht

The worm cake better be spice cake.

wv: Innati -- the signs are there, cleverly hidden in the cakes. Find them before times runs out.

December 16, 2010 | Unregistered Commentermsyendor

I think this has to be one of my favorite posts ever, and that's saying something! The thestral part was definitely the best, followed by the "fun guys" line. Nerdy humor!

December 16, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

Jen, you are amazing. Where I am left speachless, you are able to go on, and on, and on. I'm so glad - otherwise I'd miss out on crawling back on my chair each morning, LOL. Norine

My wife and I got Married at Best Friends Animal Society, at the Angel's Landing amphitheater, in Kanab UT. It is very beautiful there. We donate to Best Friends every year.

I think this is the best one yet!! I totally sang along, and, yes, I was still reading the post.

December 16, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterLisa

Your best blog yet! And I like Slimy the worm! :)

December 16, 2010 | Unregistered Commenterprotojew62

I liked when you switched to the Bob and Doug McKenzie version... "And a Beer."

December 16, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterKelly@MentalGarbage

fucaketastic!

December 16, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

Oh I love it! I was singing the whole time. You have to record it and post it, or else I will!

December 16, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterCostumeholic

This is even more hilarious because my husband is doing a "12 Days of Christmas" gift-giving thing for me this year. Love it!

December 16, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAuntie J

ROFL

I love the changing lines!

December 16, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterTortugaRachel

I sang the entire thing! I loved the crossed-out-due-to-nonconformity poinsetta. :) Awesome!!

December 16, 2010 | Unregistered Commentercuregirl0421

Love it. Absolutely LOVE it. Kept killing me with the last line of each verse. Great job Jen!

December 16, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterCarol

I am positive those Kiwi were riding Zero the ghost dog. Just not sure why!

December 16, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAmy

December 16, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

debating still: do I like more Day 10? or the comment "is anyone still reading this?"

December 16, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterT

Thanks for this Christmas present! 'Twas Festively Fantabulous!

December 16, 2010 | Unregistered Commenterneicee

Bravo!! Pure genius!!

December 16, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

This is the funniest thing I will read this whole holiday season, without a doubt. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

December 16, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

Totally hilarious. I'm cracking up. This is just as good as the 12 Pains of Christmas. The only thing better would be if you guys actually sang it.

December 16, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterLori W.

LOVE IT. Really, the fungi puns alone would have done it for me, but this was insanely awesome.

December 16, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterBeth

O.K. number nine sure look like kiwis with chicken nuggets from a Happy Meal..maybe I am seeing it wrong

December 16, 2010 | Unregistered Commenterbingomelissa

Bob & Doug, Sesame Street and Harry Potter? Thanks!

December 16, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterShay

It sure would be swell to get an audio track to go alongside that HILARIOUS post... go on, it's Christmas!

December 16, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterStay

Thank you cake wrecks! A good chuckle. I especially loved the "beer" referencing Bob & Doug McKenzie's album Big White North. At least I hope that's why it was there...
For those of you who don't know what the Canucks on here are talking about: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2oPio60mK4&feature=related

December 16, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterSarah B

OMG hilarious! Laughing out loud at my desk. The first tree with candy in it just kept getting better and better. I am going to re read to laugh again. One of my favorite!!!!

December 16, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

When do we get the video with Number 1 singing along!?

December 16, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterKatherine S

Best submission EVER! Love the boug and Doug 12 Days reference. Brilliant!

So hilarious, "I think he hates me"

December 16, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterLittle Lovables

That is the best one so far. Words fail me how awesome your blog is! Love it!

December 16, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

Now I have B&D's "five golden tuques" running in my head AND I have Sandra Lee cake mystery solved. My day cannot get any better!

December 16, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterMichelle

So funny. And the Slimey the Worm visual was awesome (as was the crossed-out thirteenth flower).

December 16, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

Too funny. Btw I purchased your calendar whilst I was on holidays in Australia a month ago.

December 16, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterFelice

I got the Cake Wrecks calendar and I laughed so hard I cried....Thanks!
