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? ;)

From the Bottom of My...Bottom

Why give your heart to that special someone this Valentine's Day, when you can give him/her something even more special:

your colon.

You know, this is so moving, I think I feel a song coming on. That, or a bad case of stomach flu. [head tilt] No, no...I'm pretty sure it's a song. (Whew!) Ok, then - c'mon, everyone, sing it with me!

Laast V-day, I gave you my heart,
But the very next day, you gave it away.
Thiiiis year, to save me from tears,
I'm gonna give you my co-lon (colon!)

Psst. Soon everyone will want the coffee cake colon, Charissa B. - pass it on!

What exactly IS that? Is it a king's cake or something?

February 10, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

Ew. I work in a GI clinic and see colons all day - and this grosses me out!

February 10, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAmanda M.

I kept waiting for a joke about "My Bloody Valentine." But I guess that doesn't really go well with the colon theme.

I think it kinda looks like bloody monkey bread. If you don't know what monkey bread is, Google it. (Don't worry, it's safe to search for.)

SCREEEEEEAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMM

*hides under desk in terror*

Raw meat valentines! Sure to be the Next Big Thing!

For some reason this reminds me of my student who wrote that "Colon Powell" was a good role model for young Americans.

February 10, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterGary

Oh. My. God. I have been lurking on your site for years but have never commented. However, this is too awful to let pass. I can't believe this exists!

February 10, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAlphabet

So nothing says I love you like an edible hemorrhoid?

February 10, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterKashmir

Oh my.

Is that a "cake" made of meat?

Or is that an actual organ, harvested from a cadaver and served up on a golden cardboard platter?

Either way, it's repulsive.

Can't imagine anyone paid money for that --- any more than I can imagine why anybody made it!

February 10, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

What is that? Monkey bread? A grossly iced giant cinnamon twist?

February 10, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterSharon

Oh, blurp! That's disgusting. I can't decide if the decorator knew absolutely nothing about anatomy - or way too much!

What WERE they thinking? (Were they thinking?)

February 10, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterLady Anne

I just literally laughed out loud. I have never seen anything so disgusting! I love you guys, keep it up, I check in daily!!

"I left my bowels in San Francisco!" (not original)

February 10, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterVeggieT

Even the song is better than that *thing*

February 10, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterNatalie

That's just offal!

Ba Dum Tsh!

February 10, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

::blinks:: What is that? It looks like someone tried to make kissing lobsters or worms out of deli meat. I think the woman holding it ought to be wearing lab gloves, lest she catch something.

Thanks for sharing, I.. think. ;)

Have a great day!

February 10, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterSwan

That is disgusting.

February 10, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterThe Boob Nazi

OMG

reach for the eye bleach please...

and then help me try to get this visual from my brain

February 10, 2010 | Unregistered Commentermn_me

Nothing says, "I admire your intestinal fortitude" like an impacted ascending, transverse, and descending colon. More fiber, stat!

WV: pewingn After seeing this, I feel like (s)pewingn

February 10, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterKelly

That's a hunka hunka burning inflamed colon...

February 10, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterThe Shitty Astrologer

Is this cake really that bad?? This is what I got my fiance for Valentine's Day!! What should I do?? :)

February 10, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterKara Lynn

Ugh. Was this displayed in the meat dept. or the bakery? Looks like raw meat or chicken innards!!

February 10, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterSiriusSchwartz

It looks like a cancerous large intestine. Even my 10-year old son, who is into grossness, thought it was icky.

February 10, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterMichelle

WTF?!?!? I'm going to have nightmares for weeks!

February 10, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterJelliDonut

Looks like a King cake that tried to take advantage of V-Day.

February 10, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAndi

The cake is something else but my favorite part is that you've done your own version of Wham's "Last Christmas" Hooray for George Michael's neon short shorts.

February 10, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterMK

Crap, that's funny!

February 10, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

I'm not seeing colon here. I see Labia. That cake would really turn my hubby on.

February 10, 2010 | Unregistered Commenterkarina

and it has the gall to say "i love you". ack!!

thanks, but no thanks. just give me a box o' chocolates and let's call it a day.

February 10, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterTerry Lee

Boy, she must feel special after getting that cake. I can't believe someone PAID for that!

February 10, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterMelinda

Colon my..er...butt. I see a sphincter. :-P

February 10, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterLeslie

Oh the Puns!!!!

Thanks Jen, Now I will have that song stuck in my head all day - and the picture to go with it!!!

::shudder::

February 10, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterTiffany

I just feel sick.

February 10, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterValerie

Gah. There's really no other word. Just...Gah.

February 10, 2010 | Unregistered Commentermadrobins

Egads, that's awful. The cake, not the song. Okay the song too but that's awful in a good way.

The cake looks like a wreath and a heart got together and proved that their offspring was not viable.

PS More begging for you to come to the Austin cake show. We need you! We want you! We love you!

February 10, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterKimberly Chapman

Oh gawd. This is unpleasant enough...but it was NOT what I wanted to see in the waiting room while my fiancé gets a colonoscopy. Eeewwwwwww.

February 10, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterLauren

That one literally stopped me dead in my tracks... like a really bad impaction.

EWWWWW!!!!

February 10, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterGary

Is it my imagination/monitor, or is it oozing something brown and shiny from the center just below the 'L'? I distinctly see a caramel-looking blob. Something tells me that caramel filling would be a bad choice for this particular cake...

February 10, 2010 | Unregistered Commentergreyfuzzy

*gag*

February 10, 2010 | Unregistered Commenterthetoddlerwhisperer

I have nothing to say about that um, cake. Really nothing. I don't want to think about it ever again.

And, Jen, thanks for the earworm. I am gonna sing that song for days.

February 10, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterJenn

I like to check the bakery sometimes just for wrecks, hoping that someday I may, too, be a true wreckporter. I know what the woman holding the cake was thinking..."I'm gonna make it on cake wrecks! I'm gonna make it on Cake Wrecks!I'm gonna make it on Cake Wrecks!"

wv: furenti. If they keep making desserts like this one, a sign that says furenti will be hanging in their front window.

Gag me with a ... fiber-optic camera on a flexible tube! Barf!

February 10, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterRebekah

eyyyyeeeeewwwww!! Looks like someone coughed up a lung or something!!

February 10, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterHandy Man, Crafty Woman

My husband thought this post was so unfunny because he could not be convinced that the object in the picture is not a plate of raw meat. "What's funny about a plate of meat?" This, of course, causes me to find the Colon Cake twice as hilarious.

February 10, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

Today's my birthday. I was trying to figure out what sort of cake/treat to make myself. Now I don't even want to eat, much less make a cake.

February 10, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterLizziebeth

Did someone PAY for that???!!!!!!!!

February 10, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

Nothing like walking through your grocery store's bakery & WHAM! you see this caketastrophe. I'm pretty sure this cake is not "Everything She Wants" for Valentine's Day.
It makes you wonder "Where Did Your Heart Go?" because it is not represented here.
I think this baker needs to be sent to "A Different Corner" to think about damage done with this cake.
Thanks Jen - while George may not like the new lyrics I bet Andrew does!

February 10, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterJen Burns

Honey, for Valentine's Day, because I love you so much, I went ahead and scheduled your colonoscopy for you. You can thank me later.
