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? ;)

Twins' Night Out

[singing]

From a distance,
You look liiiike some boobs,

Even though I know you're not.

From a distance,
How could I eeeeaaaeeever choose,
A sleeping jughead tot?


From a distance,
We've all had enough,
And this won't be allowed to stand.
And there is no way - no how
That you cannot seeeee!
Big frosted tracts of land.

Thanks to Gina C., who would like to remind bakers that God is watching us.

HA!! That's so funny - I really did see boobs when I saw the cake.

Thanks for keeping me laughing!

Even if they didn't look like boobs, they are still super creepy!

February 17, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterThe Boob Nazi

What??? No jokes about "the twins"? Seriously, I spit coffee from just seeing this cake!!

February 17, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterJenniffer

They have HUGE tracts of land.

February 17, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterHolly

Bette Midler and boob/baby cakes. I love this day already.

February 17, 2011 | Unregistered Commenterelissa

Even when you said they weren't breasts, that's still all I could see. Until I noticed the eyelashes.

Creeeeepy.

February 17, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterAngela

I had too look back before I noticed they were babies. LOL

February 17, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterMelody

Horrible!

February 17, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterColleen

*Bleck*

February 17, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterFluffy Cow

CRAP! Now I have that darn song in my head!

Thanks Jen! :P

February 17, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterNikki

Oh my, what a gaudy spectacle!

I nipple, oops, I mean *notice* that the boobies, oops again, *babies* look like they came from the pregnant torso cake pan, minus the belly. I see they found a clever use of the "nose".

wv: plerses: One baby plerses one baby equals twins.

February 17, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterLoo-E Loo-I

okay, that's SO wrong. Just SO wrong. That's all I could say when I looked at this.

February 17, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterTrevor

Mixed emotions:

I adore a good song parody -- thank you!

I will never be able to see a pacifier without thinking of nipples again -- darn you!

And it's even the wrong end of the pacifier to bring that image to mine!

I'm so confused now.

February 17, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterEllen

Monty lives on! HUGE tracts of land indeed! Bwhahahaha!

wv:senso. Nice to realize that others share my odd? senso humour.heh.

February 17, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

Okay, so before I scrolled down to the commentary I thought - good heavens! Why isn't this cake being censored like the other topless cakes she's posted??

February 17, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterNancy

Oh my... really? They really took a torso cake and make "babies" out of it? Those nipple-noses are just so wrong!

February 17, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterBecky

The first thing I thought was, "WHAT THE -what is on those boobs??!!

Then... I saw eyes.. and...hair? Metalic, shiny hair? And infant hair bands--REAL infant hair bands?

OMG it's supposed to be twins! Well, they got the twins right, but not twin babies...

Thank you, this was exactly what I needed on my break this am.

February 17, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterSandy C also in SoFla

Um, that does not look like a torso pan to me. Looks like a sheet/rectangle, with 2 half balls and a smaller sheet/rectangle.. this was deliberately constructed... poorly..

February 17, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterSandy C also in SoFla

This is... I don't even know what. I think I'm going to go with creepy.

February 17, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterCarynSKA

>>And it's even the wrong end of the pacifier to bring that image to mine!<<

Oops. Meant "mind," of course.

Typo, not Freudian slip, really!

February 17, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterEllen

I am just imagining everyone at this shower (I am hoping it was a baby shower cake...) ooohing and aaaahing over this creation out loud. And wondering if they were able to control their hidden terror or laughter when the person who made or ordered this cake was in the room.

Or sleep that night.

February 17, 2011 | Unregistered Commenterscrapopotamos

Babies, boobies...it's a natural mistake, I suppose.

February 17, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

Nine months after she opened her erotic cake business, Tina started to get numerous requests for a different kind of cake. She did not have the capital to invest in new pans, so she had to get creative.

WV: cableduc. I have no idea what it is, but it sounds like a great product name! Even the way the letters came out made a cool-looking logo!

February 17, 2011 | Unregistered Commenterpikkewyntjie

Oh! Is this what is meant when one refers to them as "The Girls"?

February 17, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

HUUUUUUUUGE traaahcts oov laaahnd!

WV - Conses: Do I even have to explain? Aheh.

February 17, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterBADKarma!

Calling Otto Titsling! Those girls need the influence of his Over-the-Shoulder Boulder Holder.

February 17, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterCheryl_hiccups

This is nice also loved the lyrics :)

February 17, 2011 | Unregistered CommentereGencer

That's almost scary, especially since I have twin girls. *shudders*

February 17, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterAuntie J

Interesting nip...errr... pacifiers...yeah, that's what my hubby would call them too...LOL

wv: eneblum - what you do when you help someone along

February 17, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterDonna

It took me a while to see what the cake was *supposed* to be as well.

Then I started thinking of ways they could have very easily made the cake less "questionable" in appearance.

A simple brush of food coloring on the cheeks would have gone a LONG way. NOT putting a scalloped border around the bottom that looks like a lace under-bust bustier would have been a good call too.

Word verification:
pying.

Haz yoo been 'pying on meee?

February 17, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterKittyKat

Huge... tracts of land! Love it!

February 17, 2011 | Unregistered Commentersarah

Haha! "Huge, huge... tracts of land!"

It took me a good 5 minutes to see something other than boobs on this cake. I was trying to figure out why they had pacifier pasties on.

February 17, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterShannon

Yeah...all I was seeing were boobs. And since I'm at work, I was scrolling quickly so that the detention kids wouldn't be looking at the picture wondering what I was doing!!

February 17, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterCarol

Can't...comprehend...logic behind this. O_o

February 17, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

GAH! Song... In head... Bleach! Bleach!

BWAhahahahaha

Ok, I guess everyone else will think I'm strange . . . but, if you remove the 'twins' I think it's actually a nice cake. IF YOU REMOVE THE TWINS.

wv: tifiders - ok, this was a lot funnier when, at first glance, I thought the f was a t.

February 17, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterTheOneOnTheRight

As a twin...this cake TERRIFIES ME!!!!

February 17, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterJennifer

Aahhh! (scream of delight) Monty Python reference! Jen, once again you have gone up another notch in my admiration. :-) (I saw boobs too)

February 17, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterLaura P.

Those look like boobs to me. Don't babies and boobs go together?

February 17, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterThe Restaurant Manager

This obviously started out life as a lovely pregnancy cake. I suppose that the mother-to-be became a mother before the cake was delivered so they had to re-tool a bit.

February 17, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterJenny H.

I, too, saw boobies at first glance. You should put a note that it might not be SFW.

But it did make me snort after figuring it out.

February 17, 2011 | Unregistered Commenterangie

Wee Bubby Boobies - priceless.

February 17, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterAlex

Manager: "Bevis, you got away with it the first time, but we can't keep doing this! I think I can save it -- get me some baby flotsam, stat! And put that coffee down!"

February 17, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterCraig

That's just wrong. I thought those boobs had weird nipples, and then I read that it was babies. lol

February 17, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

It looks like (besides the obvious) it should be the babyshower cake for Mr. Mackey..Mmm'kay.

February 17, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterT.T.

I actually had to look for a few mins to see what it was SUPPOSE to be. WOW!!

February 17, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterDavina

Ah, I'm hearing Kathy Mattea in my head now - greeeaat. (I like her version of that song much, much better than Bette Middler. Must be the bagpipes.)

The cake? Um, er, ah, arrrrrRRRRggghhh!
TXRed

February 17, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

Holy what the heck! After I realized those weren't suppose to be giant boobs all I was trying to figure out is why the kids were sticking their tongues out at me. And then I realized those were pacifiers. Not to mention the children then look like their heads were severed off their bodies or something because there is no definition to anything under that blanket, either that or they are Siamese twins. No matter how you bake it, this cake is scary.

February 17, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

That's what I totally thought they were too when I first saw this cake!
