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? ;)

And Now, a Musical Intermission

We here at Cake Wrecks know how much you all enjoy singing along with our various song parodies. However, this past week reader Simon S. went the extra mile by actually recording himself singing one of our song parodies - and it's so fabulous John immediately set out to make a music video with it.

So without further ado, we invite you to fall in love lose your lunch all over again, and be our guest:

 

 

Thanks again to Sharyn, our lyricist, and to Simon for the amazing pipe work. ;)

Logged in to catch up on my CakeWrecks fix, and got WOWWED!!! Way to go with the song, Steve, and the clips. I still love Sharyn's lyrics. I also had my whole family gathering to see what I was watching when they heard such familiar music. They all loved it, too. What a great team!
