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? ;)

Tinkerbells, Tinkerbells


Tink wrecks every day!


Oh what puns there are to write


When a fairy looks this way:

Oy vay!


Tinkerbells, hope this sells,


Clap your hands and pray


Baking skill and caring will


Be back again some day!

 

 

Thanks to Becky H., Michael C., Michelle S., and Kelly B. for the jingle.

Clearly all of these cake decorators have never actually seen a picture of Tinkerbell, and had to go by a description given to them by a 6 year old.

I would like to thank Sarah for putting things in perspective. I'd applaud you, but Mel is correct, as always. I musn't clap.

Tinker-baby got back!
And, I wonder if the girl's name is supposed to be "Brooklyn" and they spelled it wrong. Doubly wrecked.

Huh. Judging by the second cake (well, technically 1st as the 1st pic is a cookie) Tinkerbell is moonlighting as a fertility goddess. Who knew.

Tink#1 has butterfly wings, a nosebleed and a friend named “Cailtin?”

Tink # 2 takes “bubble butt” to a whole, new level (unfortunately).

Tink #3 “oh, noooooooooo”

Tink #4 Tinka the Hutt

@Sharyn-I'm better thanks, but please no pixie dust. I'm not going near any more artificial mood enhancers if I can help it!

I think the bunny just plain died seeing Tinkerbell coming towards it. Poor rabbit. Evil wreckerators destroyed poor Tink. Ah well next thing you know they will wreck my favorite movie of all time... Princess Bride. I have yet to see a cake wreck of that and am thankful. Then again it is out there calling my name I just know it lol.

#1 - Tinkerbell as depicted by a 3 year old.
#2 - Oh God, oh God! What is that hideous creature?!!!
#3 - Tinkerbell on a stick...Jeff Dunham's newest puppet. Tinkerbell meet Jose' Jalapeno...on a stick.
#4 - Tinkerbell is a werewolf!

Tink. You have to stay with the water pills, 'mkay? I know they turn you into 'Tinklebell', as we saw a few weeks back. But you can't even get off the ground, and your legs are all bendy and stuff. Try to keep things in perspective (like we all wish the wreckorator had).

Poor Tink! #1 could have used a good lip waxing before her portrait was done.

It went much more smoothly when I realized I was supposed to be singing along to the tune of "Jingle Bells," and not "Silver Bells." (Go ahead, try it.)
Mel, I kept chuckling to myself at various times all evening thinking, "Don't clap. DON'T CLAP!" I applaud you. No, wait, I don't.

@mel...your comment made me laugh hysterically. I feel a little guilty about that, but not enough to stop.

May 23, 2012 | Unregistered CommenterFortuneCookie

all I can do is shudder at the awfulness.

The first thing I thought when I saw Tinkerbell #3 is that she must be doing the 'stanky leg" (look it up on youtube if you're wondering what this dance "craze" is).

May 23, 2012 | Unregistered CommenterJessica

I reckon that third cake is an Amy Winehouse Tinker cross!

May 27, 2012 | Unregistered CommenterCharlie's Bird

ROADKILL on #3! i dunno, maybe she sat on that..... bunny, i think.... with her thunder thighs :)

June 25, 2012 | Unregistered Commenter*no comment please*

The second one's lower legs are spaghetti too. From two hams to spaghetti... ugh.
