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? ;)

MANLY MEN Cakes

Is your guy a real "man's man?" Does he enjoy grunting, beer-can-crushing, and flexing?

THEN DO I HAVE THE CAKES FOR YOU!

 

Remember, pretty colors are for GIRLS. Singed poop and "I love hunting" flotsam is for MEN.

HOOAW!

 

And you know what else is manly? 

DEAD ANIMALS.

Make it a bloody action tableau for that extra festive touch!

 

Oh, and MANLY MEN may only express affection for other MANLY MEN through poorly spelled insults:

 

Translation: "I value your friendship and enjoy our long talks and emotionally validating back-slapping sessions."

(I'd tell you how they say "I love you," but there are innocents present.)

 

MANLY MEN also love the bewbies:

... or the butts.

(It's like a dirty optical illusion: WHICH SIDE AM I LOOKING AT?)

 

And MANLY MEN ride big ol' manly motorcycles:

Vroom vroom!

 

... and chug smeary bottles of manly booze for breakfast:

MANLY.

 

But most importantly, MANLY MEN are always - ALWAYS - happy to let their kids choose their birthday cakes:

D'awwww.

 (Although it gets less cute when you realize those blobby things are supposed to be hearts. o.0)

 

Thanks to Julia K., Katherine H., Meredith, Anony M., Monica F., Anony M., & Marianne for joining me in a rousing rendition of "Men In Tights." All together, now, ladies!

We're men! {MANLY MEN!} We're men in tights! {TIGHT TIGHTS!]

Ok, girls, that should be stuck in everyone's heads now for the rest of the day. OUR WORK HERE IS DONE.

Is the Jack Daniels cake sitting a the well-worn bucket seat of a car?!

re: Cake #2: My husband (the hunter) would have a fit if he got this cake. A gut shot deer is just poor hunting technique and that hunter should never be allowed in the woods again. Nice 8 pointer, though.

Honestly, I feel bad for Ian's cake, other than the slightly poor paint job, it was actually fairly well made.

Picture 5: I though it was a cow with wheels. A new ride for a cowboy bar.

Honestly these have all made me hysterical with laughter. Our neighbors probably think I have finally gone off the deep end lol. Wow. And Men in Tights.. I love that movie too. My goodness wreckerators have finally given me a reason to stalk our local bakery for more wrecks lol.

Pretty sure that's actually a butt cake and the 'Happy 50th' is supposed to be a tramp stamp on the lower back.

Mr. Haiku has decided that Ian's cakeboard writing is done by aluminium slag Cheetos. He then agreed heartily that this was manly. Then he began explaining the color difference in aluminium slag and magnesium slag.

@Haiku Joy: I beg to differ with Mr. Haiku. It is obviously aluminium slag Cheetos PUFFS. ; - )

Darn you, the stupid "Men in Tights" song is now stuck in my head, mixed with the "Lumberjack" song from Monty Python...they are taking turns being loudest and since they are in my head, sticking my fingers in my ears is NOT helping. >.<

That cake is DEFINITELY a butt. The "happy 50th birthday" is supposed to be a Tramp Stamp (you know, those tattoos) and I think the straps are because somebody doesn't know what a thong looks like.
