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? ;)

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:

Four Santa blobs,
Three whipped ghosts,
Two buttered bells,
And is anyone even still reading this?

Eight I-think-he-hates-me,
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.

Can't help but hum along while reading.

The one where you ended "and a beer" - did you just make reference to Bob & Doug McKenzie's Christmas song? If you haven't heard the song, go online and find it. Eh.

December 20, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterMeghan

Brilliant! I was singing along with the words in my head... when I wasn't laughing too hard to think. :)

I think I love the musical posts the best. +1 Thestrals ftw!

December 20, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterMouseArmy

Oh, dear God this was hilarious. i lost it on the hallucinogenic line.

As for the 'nine kiwis'. It looks kinda like they're 'riding' Zero the ghost dog from 'The Nightmare Before Christmas.

Been out of town, so just catching up on CakeWrecks. This was the funniest thing I've read in a long time. Salsa up the nose, not so fun though.

December 21, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterRose B.

My father passed away unexpectedly a week ago. Though usually a daily Cake Wrecks checker, this was my first time back since falling into this strange chasm of sadness. Just wanted you to know that the fungi . . . first time I've laughed in a week. And I laughed HARD. Thank you so much for that. ♥

December 22, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterRaggy Rat

Your best yet!

December 22, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

Do me a favor and publish this as a Christmas-themed coffee table book. I would buy it.

December 22, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

Wonderful! This was great - I sang the whole post to my brother. Thanks!

December 23, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

You guys absolutely make my week every week, but you've outdone yourself with this. My sides hurt, I laughed so hard!

December 27, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterScott

I love you, I've commented occasionally, you often make me laugh.. You know, a little giggle... a smile that won't quit. Well.. I got to #9... and simultaneously choked on a cookie, went into a coughing fit (inhaled said cookie) laughed and coughed back and forth, and ultimately had to run from the room since I was in fact, peeing myself. I should tell you... I'm at work. Now I have to clean chewed cookie off my keyboard.

By the way, I saw it as green halo'd dog angels...

December 28, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAmethyst

O.k. I know I'm late in reading this post, but I just laughed my butt right off!!!!!!!!!!

December 29, 2010 | Unregistered Commentersassypackrat

That was tempting me to actually put the ER on speed dial in honor of how hilarious that was.

January 1, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

This post just made my day. Hilarious!

January 1, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterSarah J

This was hilarious! I LOVED it.

(Yeah, I'm way behind on blogs.)

OH! I saw your calendar at the store the first week of the year! :D

January 10, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterKris

Late as usual, but I just have to say: CW team, you are the BEST. Funniest version of this song yet. :)

As others noted, #9 does look like Zero..but it made me think of http://www.justhungry.com/2005/03/inarizushi_sush.html" rel="nofollow">inarizushi (made with fried tofu skins) rather than chicken nuggets. Either way, not something I normally associate with kiwi fruit *or* cake. Or Christmas trees for that matter...
