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? ;)

Hm. Perhaps we'll need to add "furious" to that list.
Thanks to the friendly, festive, and fearless Laux for today's frosted failure. (See? It's not *that* hard.)

perhaps fat should be fab
Maybe they meant "phat"? XD
Fantastic!!
Maybe they meant 'phat'? lol
well, I'D kill whoever gave me this one!!!
Wooowwww!!! I can't say anything else but wooowww!
She's fit AND fat?
I'm thinking what they meant was something more like "phat" than "fat."
Maybe they thought she wouldn't notice?!?
Perhaps they thought by hiding it in the corner, she wouldn't see it?
Fans Fear "fat" failed "Phat"
HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!
That's hysterical.
That f word is not allowed in our house! fluffy is preferred
Maybe they meant PHAT?
But her fat is fit!
A lot of people in the fat/size acceptance community would be totally fine with that - I suspect this is similar.
perhaps they meant "phat."
The friend who ordered this is going to get a face full of frosting. :P
(sorry, this is about as alliterative as I get at this hour...)
I'm also a Renee. and my bday is next week... 0.o
*notmycake notmycake notmycake notmycake*
Yes, maybe it should. I was wondering if Fit and Fat struck anyone else as funny...
Or, you know ... some people are actually fat and happy about it/see it as an essential part of themselves that they're not ashamed of =)
No... OMG.... No.... As yesterday was my 30-{mumblemumblemumble}th birthday, 40 is only {bleep} years away... I do hope no-one announces how fat I am on my cake!
EPIC!
maybe they forgot to add the AL ...?
I think they meant "Phat."
Is this definitely a 'fail'? I know some people who would put this on a cake on purpose. Not everyone sees 'fat' as unable to co-exist with such positive terms as 'foxy', 'fabulous' or 'fit' and 'fun'.
I'm turning 40 soon (well, not TOO soon) and I'm not prone to random acts of violence, but this being placed in front of me might cause exactly that. There are places that it's uncomfortable to have frosting.
That's some nice sizeism there. Perhaps you've never heard of Health At Every Size?

Or Phat and they just don't get it....
Just change the fat to phat. I'm sure it could be done. :P
I"m OFFENDED by all the comments that think this is offensive!!
What the hell's wrong with being "flirty?"
I read the center of the cake as "40ยข" at first. Perhaps Renee is a rapper who survived getting shot seven times, has two strange and violent video games to her name, and whose output is insufferable and derivative only 80% of the time.
To the "sizeism" people: being comfortable with your body doesn't mean you like being called fat. I like being short, but I don't need to be reminded of it.
But if you add "furious" on there, then she would be Fat and Furious! :)
Funny, flowery, frivolous, fresh frosting. Need more "f" adjectives.
Fair, fertile & flatulent?
I guess Renee is going in to have her gall bladder removed. I've just never seen it announced on a cake before!
My sincerest apologies for the obtuse medical reference.
whoopsies! Perhaps cake writing should be reserved for people who understand the difference between 'fit' and 'fat' and other polar opposites. 'Flabbergasted' would be too long to add t the cake, wouldn't it?
If it were me I would be very careful cutting around the 'fat' so I could take a picture of me about to shove the word in my mouth. Probably with a thumbs-up.
Wait...wha....? Explain?
Was there a story to go with this cake?
This makes me glad we never get store bought cakes. Especially when we're celebrating my birthday tomorrow o_o
Bet she said another "f" word, when she saw the cake.
Just chiming in to say that contrary to some comments, I don't see fit and fat as being opposites, or even one excluding the other. That said, I might personally pitch a bit of a "fit" if "fat" was on my cake!
The wreckerator was obviously a man. No woman would call another fat on her birthday!
Maybe they meant Epcot?
But, seriously, we all know we'll get fat after eating birthday cake. We don't need to be reminded on the cake itself!
Poor Renee had her cake made by her extremely passive-aggressive sister again this year!
I think whoever designed this cake needs to watch Gordon Ramsay's "The F Word" more often for inspiration.
A missing "L"? Renee is FLAT? No, that's no better ... ack ...
Phat is the new way to spell Epcot.
I'd be furious if someone put "Flirty" on my cake, too.
Makes me worry about what I am going to get when I turn 40. Because if they put that on my cake someone would be running for the hills lol. At least they didn't say she's old on it.
Well after getting depressed and eating the whole cake she will be fat...
I can think of much worse F-Words they could have put on there!
