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? ;)

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

Two buttered bells,
And a study on the Heimlich for me.

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

Seven snowmen melting,
Six pounds of icing,
♫ ♬ ♪♬ ♫ Fiiiiive really fun guys!!! ♪ ♫ ♫ ♬ ♬
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,

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

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.

Hilarious!! I love the new (ever changing lyrics). Amazing you had cake samples to represent each number (except for 10) and the modified 12 (with the crossed out 13th flower--brilliant!)

never mind the plastic flotsam choking hazards on the tree--do I see glass ornaments and light bulbs??

this is definitely a favorite post. Slimey the worm! love the cake mockup. Slimey looks so happy in the icing.

December 16, 2010 | Unregistered Commenterjo

YAY! A Harry Potter reference for me and a Sesame Street reference for my 2 year old! Who, by the way, shouts "CAKES!" every time I look at your blog with her... I'm truly concerned... Either she's a genius or I make really REALLY ugly cakes!

My 12 year old son thinks #12 looks like it is wearing a sweater.

He thought this post was hysterical.

ROFL! One of my favorite posts yet. I love the "beer" line and then the "piles of nothing". My favorite, though, is the reference to the "I'm a really fun guy" joke. LOL

December 16, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAllison

The Santas look like they are sitting on sprinkle covered toilets...and the kiwi/reindeer thing.....still scratching my head.

December 16, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterPauline

You caught me on the 10. Brilliant!

December 16, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

I don't have time to see if others said this, but... DON'T THOSE LOOK LIKE CHICKEN NUGGETS ON THE REINDEER, um, THINGS?! What in the world is going on there?

saluer: "If someone looks sick, I might say 'salut'. If it's because of these cakes, I must say 'saluer!'"

December 16, 2010 | Unregistered Commenteremily

Personally, I prefer the ten days of nothing! Those other days were sure to give nightmares and a trip to the er.

December 16, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterGrammaR

Hahahaha!

When my 2 year old daughter saw the first one, she said "That's a yucky cake?"

Yes my child.

Also, I did read the whole thing. Nicely done :)

December 16, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterTori

Meringue mushrooms are a perfectly traditional way to decorate your buche de Noel (along with toasted coconut "dead leaves" and powdered sugar "snow"), and those are well made. The cake itself, on the other hand, is a disaster...

December 16, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

Yes yes I read it all too!!!
And now i have it going through my head, probably for the rest of the day, thanks bunches....
you guys are great!
This is one of my favorite sites every, you always bring a smile to my face even when I am having a tough day-- THANK YOU.

December 16, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterPilgrim

My guess for day 9 was "Battle Droids", but Thestrals work too!

This might be my new favorite Christmas song. Thank you :)

December 16, 2010 | Unregistered Commentertarichuck

OMG, I think that was the funniest thing I've ever seen on this site, and that's saying a lot! Happy Festivus to all of you!

December 16, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterStefRobrts

December 16, 2010 | Unregistered Commentermegan

*Me standing, applauding furiously*
Awesome!
Bravo!
Well done!

December 16, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterMaureen

Love how you worked Bob & Doug McKenzie's beer into that one! (ignore the cheesy pictures, but their full version is at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACApP94ei14)

And I had Jen #1's voice in my head as I read/sang it :)

I will never look at candy canes the same again. And you seemed to rather ignore the yule "log" but rather enjoy its decorations ;) I, too, liked how you kept changing the lines... VERY amusing.

PS What did that poinsetta do to you? And... are you sure it's fake. Given they're toxic, I sure hope so!!

December 16, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAliza

Ten lots of nothing!

I can't wait to find someone recording this thing for real.

December 16, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterJason

Love the thestral reference. Love the slimey reference.

The "thestrals" actually look like Zero from Nightmare Before Christmas... with what look to be chicken nuggets (as a previous commenter commented).

December 16, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterJennifer

This post is why I read cakewrecks. You are hilarious.

December 16, 2010 | Unregistered Commenterbookbug

This must be your best one yet, how fun, I love it! You have outdone yourself! Now off to donate to the charity....

December 16, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAnnette

That was the best Christmas song ever! I'm always amazed at the blog writer's sense of humor because they always make me laugh.

December 16, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterLeAnna

you seriously rock, thank you so much for the laffs!!!

December 16, 2010 | Unregistered Commenterdebo

I laughed so much all the way through that, thank you for the entertainment! I will be showing this to everyone lol

December 16, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

YES, I sang all the way through... and giggled madly.

December 16, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterLN

I'm laughing so hard I'm crying. Helpless. On the floor.

December 16, 2010 | Unregistered Commenterfurpurrson

You literally had me rolling with laughter (more than usual, when I read your blog). Thank you! I needed the laugh today.

I couldn't see #10. Was it taking a break at Epcot? Or was it the font?

December 16, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterTuesday's Child

Your mentioning of Thestrals and Slimey the worm prove, once again, that you guys are supermegafoxyawesomehot.

Oh, and the kiwis are obviously riding on Jack Skellington's dog, Zero.

December 16, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterElizabeth Douglas

Were there still skins on those kiwi slices?!

December 16, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAmy

So freakin' funny!

"Fiiiiive molded hallucinogenics!!"
