A Haiku for You, Deer
March 22, 2010 
Soft blue and brown swirls
somehow incomplete without
a beheaded deer.
Grace R., I hear this costs about 10 bucks.

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? ;)

I wasn't aware deer were blue.... Am I missing something?
That deer head is awesome.
Woa... woaaa... I've been reading this site for a long time and this has to be one of the more confusing and absurd "cakes!"
There's something kind of gorgeous about this cake, in a kind of 'hey guys, I took a load of acid and then made a deer-themed CCC inspired by Van Gogh's Starry Night' kind of way.
What the hell is that? What was the occasion? truly perplexing. was this an order, or (being blank) a *gasp* STOCK CAKE?
I love the haiku. Great way to deal with a WTF cake situation. Hilarious!
Whiskey. Tango. Foxtrot.
?!?!?!?!
What in the world??? Blue sky, white clouds, is this to celebrate the death of a deer or some such?
(My verification word is FRICITHY --- so they made the rest of the deer into a deer fricithy?)
"Grace R., I hear this costs about 10 bucks."
Really? I only see one buck.
... I kind of love it!
Do I get 30 points toward my next purchase? I hope I have enough doe. I wonder how many people are fawning over this one. I guess I'll have to stag-ger away from this before I'm caught in the headlights... (I was going to say "steer clear" but figured I shouldn't confuse my animals any more than I have).
So beautiful. If it was sold with the haiku it would have been a big hit for Valentine's Day.
"Permafrost icing,
Plastic deer's head a trophy -
I say ptooie!"
And it's a cupcake cake! *shudder*
10 Bucks. Bwa hahaha!
god bless you, becky
you took the words right out of my mouth...
Sometimes it makes you wonder... If this is a stock cake, what OOPS are they covering up with Deer Bits? And if it *shocked gulp* ISN'T a stock cake who in the name of all that is good left in the world would ORDER, SPECIFICALLY, THAT CAKE!?
It looks like a Duck-Fart Cocktail made with Blue Curaçao! GNARLY.
Wow. You've certainly posted more aesthetically unappealing wrecks, but I think this one wins the WTF-prize!
I'm not ashamed to say I'd buy this just for the sheer absurdity of it.
Hee hee hee. This one is really hilarious!
Weird, just weird!

This may be the prettiest Wreck I've seen on here—admittedly, without the deer head I would have thought it was a very, very impressionistic beach scene...
@Kirsty
I'm with you, it's definitely a drug-induced homage to Starry Night. That actually makes the most sense.
I am at a loss-
This cake is too perplexing.
I need more coffee.
Mindboggling... WTH were the wreckerators on???
Ba-dum-dum *cymbal crash*
Thank you, I'll be here all week.
WTF???
Between sky and land
A deer emerges from fog;
I will make a cake.
I call the cupcake with the deer head on it!!!
This one's definitely a real head scratcher!!! Maybe the blue deer is related to Babe The Blue Ox?
WV: ingulfo -- Bambi's forest was ingulfo a strange blue fog.

"See, boss? This is my impressionistic CCC! I call it "Foggy Forest." See, the blue swirlies are the sky and the brown swirlies are the forest!"
"But how are they gonna know it's a forest, Milo?"
"Ohhh, good point, boss. I'll just stick a deer head on the forest part. That'll show everybody!"
"Hello, Cake Wreckery, how may we help you?"
"Yes, I'd like a cupcake cake for my husband. Something simple, maybe in his favorite colors of blue and brown..."
"OK, we can do that. Do you want it to say anything?"
"No, he's not into that sort of thing...but he did just get back from a deer hunting trip. Maybe you can put a little deer on it -- you know, from his "dear" wife?"
"Hah ha, yeah sure, we can do that. It'll be ready this afternoon."
"Thanks!"
Bambi's mom in heaven? Whoops. Sorry it's a MAN deer...
So if that's supposed to be a fluffy deer I don't get the blue part
"Congratulations on your First Kill"... or maybe "Happy First Day of Hunting Season"... I dunno.
I give you an A+ for the haiku, and a D for whoever tried to pass htat off as a professional cake
I am really intrigued by this cake. Is there some astrological sign or system I'm not aware of and includes a cloudy deer?
Considering it's just the head, it must have cost a ... sawbuck!
I think it is supposed to be coming out of the mist. Like on a cold November morning when you are getting up to go hunting and the deer clears the mist and you blow it away. Which kinda makes it creepier.
I like the blue over-spray, personally; it just adds a little something extra.
Why??!?! My eyes! They burn! By the way, the word verification for my comment is "penris" *snort snort*
"Starry Night" my left buttock cheek! That doesn't look like nighttime at all! A nightMARE, yes. I just hope that it's not a new picture, because the "BEST BY" date on it is Dec 24 09...but that's neither here nor there.
It's just ridiculous.
The only *haiku" I'd reference would be to say, "Haiku out into the woods and TOSS that thing!"
Oh, and @ANONYMOUS--That "fricithy" SO reminds me of Sylvester the cat and Tweety Bird--he was always drooling about fricathy of Tweety. =^~.~^=
but...
what...
I am completely dumb-founded. Wh... no, no, I just don't get it.
This has to be the most baffling cake I have ever seen. Anywhere. At all.
oh deer me. this is one helluva ccc wreck. what the what?!
Oh Dear!
= to add even more surrealism to the whole thing I stupidly thought your reference was to a Maori haka and was wondering how that was going to be presented on a cake, but anyway congratulations on your haiku
WV: Oxylkel -- the "prescription" the wreckerator followed when creating the cake.
Next Campfire horror story:
Bambi in The Mist.
I'm going to have to view this one as art. I don't understand where they were going with this, and it sort of looks too old and crunchy for much else but hanging on the wall, so surely no one wants to eat it.
I mean, should we be surprised to find that this was created by a failed artist who never got the attention he's finding by turning to cake? Not that the world was ready for his work in this arena either, mind you....
It actually costs about 20 bucks, you're off by 10 ;)
10 bucks? That's a lot of doe.
.... What?
I'm with Hessica on this one. Never seen a cake this confusing.
I love the colors though. So soft. Almost like I can reach out and touch it.
Aw, the Monarch of the Glen got lost in the fog, poor dear....but why make a cake out of it.......

Yeeaahhh....okey dokey.
But I was kind of under the impression that "the forest" should be...oh, I don't know...maybe GREEN??
(FOR MORE OPTIONS, PRESS "ONE"!)
