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? ;)

With Apologies to Julie Andrews


♫ Bulbous-nosed witches who probably eat kittens


Messages piped out that should be rewritten

(Supposed to read "Congratulations Wojtek From Thunder Road")

 

Cakes decorated with smeared silly string

Bakers make some of the wreckiest things!

 

Is that a tongue sticking out of that poodle?


 Were they attempting to make ersatz noodles?


"Congradulations" with Doritos rings

Bakers make some of the wreckiest things!

 

Plumber's jeans that don't quite cover their "assets"


Creepy-faced smiley with too-thick eyelashes


Harry and Gollum and wands holding rings

 Bakers make some of the wreckiest things!

 

Though these dogs might

Be all frosting

 Though these cakes are bad!

I simply remember these wreckiest things

And then I just can't

Feel sad! ♪

 

 BIG thanks to Katie G., Victoria L., J.R., Vanessa M., Lisa H., Pete Z., Andrea G., Darla H., Becca T., Rachel L., and J.C.  You know you're my favorites, right?

mel, I have no words (really, you used ALL the good ones- what's up with that?) ;)
(and I also got the "applause" joke in your follow up post)

KarateLady, sorry, I had an attack of the sleepies last night and never booted up my 'puter.

Oh my gosh! I never thought I'd be happy to see a cake of mine on this site but I am smiling at the appearance of the butt cake. In my defense, I made this a number of years ago and it was completely intentional! A customer requested that cake, with those specifications, for her husband that had just passed his plumber tests. It still "cracks" me up!

now as Haiku:

cake's not really wrecked
though the butt of many jokes
thanks for the comments!

@Amy: You've made a truly masterful butt cake -- it's not here for execution, just subject matter. I'm sure the customer was thrilled. Like you, it "cracks" me up!
