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? ;)

Then push 'play.'
This work of genius is by Joel Bradshaw, a talented Wreckie with mad video editing skilz and even madder taste in blogs. Thanks for making my week, Joel! When our bid for Wrecky World Dominion is complete, you'll be first on the list for promotion to head henchperson. ;)

ok, he gets my vote as head henchperson!!!
Awesome video!
So I love that in the first couple of seconds John is singing Popular from Wicked! I totally didn't catch that the first time haha

Fabulous job! So, are you working on a version to be performed live on Broadway? :) If so, then we will definitely make a trip to NYC to see the show!
I am dying with laughter. OMG. Brilliant.
and... the dog...
omg hilarious
Oh My Flying Sock Monkeys!!! I laughed so hard that my son came over to see if I was ok.
Triple A plus, fantastico, incrediblus maximus, you name it, I say it...
AWESOME!!!!
Carmiehead
That is AWESOME!! Way to go!! I didn't listen to the first version the other day since I was at work and didn't think it was probably "appropriate" to be doing. AWESOME!
Love love love it!! Nightmare is our favorite movie, so this was totally awesome!
Wow!
Sorry about the dog.
But WOW!
I simply love this. Greatjob!
Wow
amazing awesome and fantastical
I think everyone associated with Nightmare would be pleased ( perhaps even some of the suits at the Big D )
and the dog died oddest punchline to a one sided phone call ever
I love that he transcribed the phone conversation... so funny.
Superb job on the editing- Having the visuals and the soundtrack backing to go along with the song just put the icing on the Cakewreck!!
BRILLIANT!
Hooray for Joel! And John! And Jen! And The Other Jen!
!!!!
Tears! There are tears - this is hilarious.
You are so funny, I think I´m dying with laughter. Great job!!
Absolutely fantastic. Please add a tab for music videos and include this and the other CW parodies.
I was skeptical but they won me over. Hilarious!
Bahahahahahahaha! This made my morning!
That Was Fantastic.
Can't wait to see Cake Wrecks: The Musical on Broadway. ^__^
Love it...so funny!
Oh how fantastic!!
I vote that this is a monthly feature. Please?
Perfectly executed! Kudos to Mr. Bradshaw! I'm not a major fan of 'Nightmare', but I know many folks that are. They'll love this!
That was AWESOME.
My mind IS blown!
That...was great! What an awesome way to start my Saturday :)
I loved it the first time through, but this video is double-rainbows, baby!
wv: pressiv - that's some mighty pressiv work you did there, Joel.
After watching this with me, my two-year-old went:
Dumpa dumpa... What's THAT!"
Wicked + Nightmare Before Christmas = Epic win
...Standing ovation! Thank you Joel for polishing the original! (A diamond in the rough) "Her dog died"? wonderfully irrelevant. Did you guys plan this or did it just happen? (i mean the whole video thing)
Am I the only one who WANTS that Tom Selleck cake?
This is just the shot of wakeup I needed this morning.
I.
Love.
This.
Thanks for the giggle.
awesome editing--I can't believe he matched you up with the music despite your digressions
Wow! Can you do a musical wrecks on occasion like a monthly installment for us musicians? :-) It just adds to the wreckiness when it's put to music!
Did you intentionally wreck Joel's last name?
That's amazing! Awesome job!
Ha, I laughed so hard I think I may have wet my pants a little, damn weak bladder. I think we should see this on Broadway, pretty sure it would sell out. Oh, that made my day, he gets my vote too!
Mad props to all involved. Hilarious!
I think its bradshaw, not bradshow.
In a word... hilarious!
LOOOOOOOOOVE IT!
Fantastic.
The phone call puts it over the edge in morbid hilarity.
Especially since we find out that the excited laughter "that's Cray-zee. No, that's Great" is because, "Her dog died."
So funny.
I mean, not that the dog died....
That is about the best thing I've ever seen in my life. I loved the blog post it was inspired by...this just takes it to a whole new fabulous level! Thanks for sharing guys!...my word verifictaion is "abductomo"...I find that funny too.
OMG! Hysterical - my kids had to come check on me to see what the heck I was cackling about! Bravo!
Simply amazing. Love it!
That is positively hilarious! If you keep featuring sing-a-longs I'm going to have to be careful not to check in from work as often as I do. LOL
Speechless. Really.
And way to get back on track after the dog death and everything.
Wow.
Can't wait for the CD to come out...
Wow.....this was amazing, I was laughing so much! I feel bad for the dog dying though, so sad. But that whole phone conversation was hilARious! I'm such a huge fan of cake wrecks and the nightmare before christmas, them being put together.....epic!

Ok, I have to ask. What is the story about the dog?
Mind. Blown.
Wow!
(Getting Wreckie Henchpersons to handle Saturday posts - outstanding!)
(And I'm sorry about the dog, too. And the invoice for the pants.)
I am so glad this came up today. The first time you had the snippet it wouldn't work for me, so I missed Cake Wrecks, the Musical. Thank heavens for roadshows.
WV ablet If the cake wrecks give you a headache, take one ablet and call me in the morning.
I always love cakewrecks but just when I thought it couldn't get better . . .
