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? ;)

NYUK!!!!!!!!!!
(NOOOO!!!!!! + YUCK!!!!! = NYUK.)
OK, *now* I get it.
Nyuk Nyuk Nyuk...
Can't. Stop. Laughing!!
Only here can I find things so horrifyingly funny!
ACK!! My eyes!! O-o
How did I NOT see that coming? And what occasion would require a "Curly Troll" sculpted cake?
*deep breath*
AAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*pantpantpant*
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The baby who is the exception to the rule that all babies are beautiful. Yeeps.
I wish I could post a 'blank' comment - since I'm speechless!!!
This would be the little-known *fourth* danger of the Fire Swamp -- the BZS. (Baby Zombie Stooge)
baby cake or midget cake?????
oh gosh, WWWHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(no joke I actually screamed a little looking at this one)
AHHHHHH MAKE IT STOP! MAKE IT STOP!
WASH AWAY THE HORROR FROM MY EYES!
Wow, that baby cake looks like it's trying to go poo poo...
My goodness, that baby has certainly filled his nappy! Do I want to eat it? No!
O_O
Okay, you can't leave us hanging like this. We need an explanation to help ease the eye burn!
rotfl.... Spot on!
Oh jeez that made me laugh right out loud! That's hilarious!
It's like a Munchkin from The Wizard of Oz... only not quite... *shudder*
looks like warwick davis!
Why????????
It always makes me just a little bit sad to think about how much work someone put into something that turned out this hideous. But then I get over it and laugh at it until my sides hurt!
Hobbit baby? Maybe?
And somebody, somewhere, thinks... this looks good enough to eat?
Any minute now it's gonna jump up and start singing about the Lollipop Guild.
This...
Wow.
This has some kind of European folklore explanation, doesn't it? All the worst stuff does.
At least it doesn't come wtih a bowl of placenta?
Aaaargh. That's gonna replace the whale in me nightmares.
What has been seen cannot be unseen...
This is good stuff! This is a major cake wreck, a genuine lolz. Whew, it truly is Three Stooges bodyslams Anne Geddes. I love you cakewrecks.
Is it made of red velvet, or even worse, chocolate??? :P
The temptation would be to plunge the knife into it's belly yelling 'die abomination die!'......preferably in front of the baker. The stuff of nightmares....
Hahahaha that was so hilarious holy crap!
At first I didn't know what to do...laugh, scream, cry but laugh won overall and I busted up right in the middle of work! :)
AAAAUUGGGHHH!!!!!!!! D:
Sharyn, you never fail to make Jen's awesome posts even better with your comments. Thank you to you both!
BTW, I always find Anne Geddes's photos slightly creepy, but this edible interpretation of her work really pushes the creepiness factor into another dimension.
Shiny innocent
wields dimpled cakefist of doom.
Don't mock the wimple.
I keep looking at that cake and expecting it to break into song:
♪I represent the Cake Wreck Guild,
The Cake Wreck Guild,
The Cake Wreck Guild.
I represent the Cake Wreck Guiiiiiiild!
Horriying cakes will make you hurl.♪
The original photo is so creepy, how could it be made worse? Why is there a giant orange butterfly attacking that baby? Why is it lying asleep on that dirty rock? How many little bugs are crawling off the forest floor, through those dead leaves and up into that baby's diaper? Why does it have an old rag on it's head? Call CPS.
Baby Bilbo, perhaps? O_o
You know I always did think babies look like Curly from the Stooges! Bald, round face, weird expressions... Kudos to someone's daring!
Breathtaking.
Don't be such a speciesist. Baby trolls are just as cute as baby humans. I'm sure the troll mother who got this cake at her bridal shower loved it.
Been reading Cake Wrecks for years. First time I EVER let loose an audible gasp....
It looks like its lying on a roasting pan.
Baby Herman?
I've read all the comments, thinking i would understand but no... My face is still like this: O-O
The "glaze" on the "baby" doesn't help to make it "shine" in the right way.
I very nearly spewed coffee all over my computer upon seeing this. Well done.
Look at the meat pounders on that thing!! Those hands are huge!
Does he do construction in between nappy times? Because I have a deck that needs building...
Without the first two images as a cushion, the cake would be major nightmare fuel. Anne Geddes pics are...interesting. A little strange, sometimes, but interesting. Meanwhile, the Stooges always make me laugh. Typical guy, right?
Good song, @SuzieQ. CCR on backup, perhaps?
I hope the customer refused to pay for this. It's HORRIFYING!
*blink* still there.
*blink* STILL there
*blink* OK, I guess someone really DID think this was a GOOD idea. *shudder*
Quiet Corner and SuzieQ, your comments were most excellent.
