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? ;)
December 29, 2010 "Hi, I'm here to pick up a cake for my five-year-old's birthday? Grace Marie?
"Ah, that looks great!
"Oh, but I was wondering: it's also my husband's birthday, so could you maybe throw a little something extra on there for him, too?
"Perfect! He loves Elmo!"

WHAT!? This is so wrong. I'll never look at Elmo the same again.
Wow, it's hard to achieve a really awkward moment via cake, but this baker has skills!
A. Hysterical.
B. The Boob Nazi being the first comment? Even more hysterical.
I hope it was a "drop off" party. Otherzies, poor Grace Marie is going to see a drop in playdates.
Ok, why not? Plus the handwriting is rather nice. Overall a well executed cake.

WTH??? This is soooo funny and strange that I'm just sitting here laughing and laughing like a goon. Who does this?!!? Who goes, ya, Elmo and Boobzilla on the same cake is a good idea?! HA HA HA HA HA HA
Man, I love this site!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did anyone else notice that the word before "love you" is intelligible?
Yeah, sorry, i know, deriving from the main point. Really funny. I can't help but feel sorry for poor Grace Marie that she has these parents.
Oh..... my...... GOSH!!!!
"Tickle me Baywatch"? Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
that's one bad Elmo er, MOMMY.
Well, that's certainly...different. It's like Muppets meet a popular Herb Alpert album cover...
This wreck was brought to you by the letter "T" and the letter "A"!
Ah, the CW team continues to astound!
mocking
Today`s word is C Cup kids. So funny `he loves Elmo` so great as always.
Good one, Jenniffer. Also brought by the number 34....
Wait! That's not Katy Perry! Shouldn't that be Katy?
~~Di
wv - ilost -- well, okay. *sigh* I neverwin.
Cool! A cake to honor the Elmo/Katy Perry "lost episode" duet!
Yeowza.
wv: Lappe
I wouldn't have thought Elmo was a fan of lappe dances, but you just never know about people...
Why not put a smaller pic of Katy Perry when she appeared on sesame street... at least there would be some rhyme to the madness

Hey. At least the girl wasn't facing the OTHER direction! Imagine how awkward that would be!
My youngest son's 5th, and my husband's 45th are 5 days apart. Maybe I should make them a cake like this. NOT!!!!
Does this commemorate the banned Katy Perry episode?
Wow!! Im not even sure where to start!? There's something wrong with this family!! May I suggest that next year mom gets two cakes!!! Or...maybe just get dad one of those brown paper wrapped gifts and let Grace Marie have the cake!
Clearly, that mom wasn't one of the ones protesting Katy Perry's appearance with Elmo on Sesame Street. ;-)
I was wondering if the lady in the corner was a portrait of Grace Marie, and Elmo was for daddy?
Naw, however I try to justify this in my mind, it always ends up in the same gutter.
Is that Katy Parry on the cake?
that is seriously disturbing! what mother in her right mid would pay for that?!
Like everyone else has said this is messed up...now am I the only one to notice that the red bra/bikini top is actually bigger than her boobs? I think I need to go repent for spotting that! :P
The wreckerator was clearly outraged by the Elmo/Katy Perry flap, and this was his or her form of retribution.
Well, they DID have the red airbrushing tools out...
Too funny! My soon-to-be 5-year-old and my husband share a birthday as well - I'm sure Hubby would be just fine with this cake!
LOL you know that's an afterthought! Daddy's red icing is a little off...so how do we explain to the kids about Elmo's little buxom "friend"? is she a bikini Barbie?
What sort of cake is that -- cheese, by chance?
Maybe Grace Marie and 'Daddy' sent the cake to someone else. Nope -- doesn't work. Still pegs the Creepy Meter, because 'Daddy' is wearing an Elmo suit, and it isn't clear if he is the unnamed recipient's 'daddy' or Grace Marie's. It also leaves the identity of 'bikini girl' disturbingly vague.
If Grace Marie is part of the Elmo set, then I guess that could be 'Mom' in the corner without requiring a really early start. Starting next year, separate cakes is an incredibly good idea.
Did anyone else notice the, er, proportioning problems? Not just that one, but her head and her hand. The lack of an elbow is yet another disturbing detail.
Wow, I get to say the same thing I said on the NetFlix pic from a few weeks ago on Facebook :)
They definitely found my demographic-Elmo and prostitutes!
Is the chick Katie Perry? If so, then what's the problem?
WV: tempar
How the Pepperidge Farm guy says "temper" : Watch yar tempar.
Looks like Barbie. What's the problem? :P
Argggh.....another cupcake cake, no?
Now you know why Elmo doesn't wear pants...
Why is her bra three sizes too big?
I am now terrified of giant Elmos attacking weird girls in bikinis lol. Hilarious and scary at the same time. Who on earth would do this to a child's cake? Or should I say what sane person would do that? Lol.
All wrong but funny. If the cup is bigger than your head it is at least a FF or G cup. Yes, they exist.
Mummy, what's Elmo doing to the funny lady? Why is Daddy watching? Can we go - I don't feel very well.....
my three year old daughter just looked at this cake and started singing [to the tune of twinkle twinkle little star]
elmo, elmo with a geerl (that is how she says girl), on a cake that's made with blue...
i thought, what blue? ahh... the airbrushing in the background is blue-ish. hope you enjoy her song. i really couldn't make up something that great on my own. :)
Anybody else think that DADDY ordered little Grace Marie's cake???
The size of Elmo compared to the size of the trucker mudflap girl makes me wonder if he's going to grab her and climb up to the top of the Empire State Building clutched in his faux-furry paw, King Kong style.
Poor Grace Marie. I bet she can't wait until she's old enough to move out! How embarrassing for her if this was served at a party with other kids-- and adults.
But, at least the drawings are done well (although the writing's hard to read)!
And yup, next year, get two cakes.
What the cuss?
"Perfect. He loves Elmo." Comedy genius.
*sarcastic tone, btw*
perfect, something for the kid, something for dad.
and you probably save $$ than having two cakes.
best part is that elmo and overly-padded barbie match
