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? ;)

Here's Your Sprinkles



Sprinkles:

Doin' it wrong:


"Wow, that's a lot of sprinkles."

Doin' it wronger:

"Wow, that's a lot of...

"Waaait a minute.

"Is that... paper?"


It IS!!

Not cool, man. Not. Cool.

Sorry, Anne-Marie and Katie W.; I guess one of you still can't have any.

Update: If you can't tell, the bottom cake is an edible photocopy of sprinkles. Yupperdoodles.

Is anyone noticing the "Fresh McDonalds" sticker in the corner. Is it a McDonalds cake or an a promotion?

I'm so honored to have found the second wreck at my local supermarket and submitted the photos here. I fully assure you that it was a real cake, hanging out by the milk, on the "Reduced for Quick Sale" cart.

Hard to believe that it wasn't just snapped right up with it's authentic fake sprinkles and it's lovely green frosting borders.

It's not a photo; it's a [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texture_map]texture map[/url]! Clearly this wreckerator has been taking a cue from the video games industry. Saves on polygons, and nobody can tell the difference. ...Right?

But, but, then you never ever run out of sprinkles! By just pouring them onto the scanner you now have an infinite supply of sprinkles! Sprinkles for everyone!

With a green poop border!

Oh...frick...is that a Meijer cake?!? I SHOP there!! And for everyone who doesn't get it, those arrows are pointing at the EDGE OF THE PICTURE SHOWING THAT IT'S A PICTURE AND NOT REAL SPRINKLES! I hope the huge print helped those who were confused.
