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? ;)
August 30, 2013 ... 'cuz we're going to a wedding!
Here's the pitch: the cake was SUPPOSED to look like this:
;)
Which is a pretty ballsy choice, you must admit. Not to mention a little out-of-left-field.
But it ended up way, WAY off-base:
;)
o.0
And that's how you strike out with three foul balls!

Cake me out to the ball game.
See, I saw the first one and before I scrolled I was thinking: "Please look like skin, please look like skin"
It did not disappoint.
Sharyn, pleeease tell me you are going to finish that song. I know you will do it justice!
It's pink. O.O
Aw, c'mon Sharyn~~We all know that you've got the whole song in ya! Pitch it out here, and we'll catch it!
=^~.~^=
Reminds me of patches of skin sewn together - a la Frankenstein. eewwww
I do believe someone went 4 wheelin...in blood....all over that thar cake
That pink color makes it look like a Frankenstein cake. O.O
Oh, somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright;
The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light,
And somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere children shout;
But there is no joy in Cakeville - mighty Bakery has struck out.
-- With my apologies to the Mighty Casey & Mr. Ernest Lawrence Thayer :-)
C'mon, Sharyn~~We all know that you've got more "layers" in there!! =^~.~^=
When I look at the inspiration I think baseball.
When I look at the wreck, I think "She puts the lotion in the basket."
Cake wants BBBRRAAIINNNSS
@Annie.... same here! And I lol'd at your comment. At work. Ooops! It puts the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again!!
So…the bride fell for the baker’s pitch, and he threw her a curve and it made her batty. She struck out with the cake, but hopefully the marriage will be a homerun. (And what part of baseball is a girl’s best friend? The diamond….)
Yeah, really~what IS "up" with the pink? And why does it look as if it's been elbowed? (So many questions...so little real need for answers.) =^e.e^=
I must say that if that wreck looks like skin, it certainly has cellulite!
@Annie - XD. Bwaaaaahahaha!
Love this pun-laced post. And I love that their attempt to make the "baseball" layers look a little dirtied up included dents as well as smudges.
Why, in the name of all that's good and merciful, is it PINK?
From "Baseball Cake" to "I, Frankenstein Cake"... WINNING!!!!
Also, it looks like the bride hit the groom pretty hard in his... let's say "stomach". That tilt creates a slight postural change from "about to pitch" to "urk!"
That second cake is just batty
It looks foul
I'd like to strike that decorator
BOOyah! three in a row
The wrecked version was preceded by liver, served with fava beans and a nice Chianti.
Note to self: Stay far away from Buffalo Bill's Bakery. All those large moths flying around are especially off-putting.
Non-SOTL comment: Bride with a bat? Yeah, great idea. If the recipient of the second one had had a bat handy, I bet she would have hit it out of the park.
@ imspiffier: ("Why, in the name of all that's good and merciful, is it PINK?")
What, you've never seen pink baseballs? Me neither. And for heaven's sake, leave "good and merciful" out of it! Did you forget where we are??? =^e.e^=
@mel: "(And what part of baseball is a girl’s best friend? The diamond….)"
Heh, heh...that's cute! (And I wouldn't be surprised now if you've given someone the idea to propose on a baseball field.)
=^~.~^=
Strike out this good wood.*
This batter's eye is all black.
Good poke - - - in the gut.
I gotta say, even though it's true the second cake is wrecky, I can't say I stand behind the original either. They're both pretty ugly...and I like baseball.
Craig - It spreads the fleshy pink frosting on its cake...
So, the "theme" is that both of them like baseball? Or that both of them are nearsighted?
=^>.<^=(maybe it's both.)
"There's no crying in baseball!"
There is NOW. :p
Oh my, you all had me laughing so hard today!! Thanks!! Also, good one @BADKarma. Hahahaha!
@Annie: That is one of the sickest comments I have ever read. It's making me laugh now, and will make me laugh the rest of the day. Thank you!
This wreck looks like the laces have been bleeding into the leather/frosting. Eeewwwww. . . .
I don't think even Jame Gumb would wear this!

@Joemama: You couldn't stand behind either one, even if you wanted to. They're both shoved up too close to the wall. (.....Ha......Ha. =^e.e^=)

What a coincidence! Those are the exact ingredients of the cake!
=^-.-^=
Hmm... bloody bruised bitten cake, bride attacking her nearest and dearest with a baseball bat...
Zombie apocalypse wedding??
At long last, a cake I get! It's a wedding cake that is itself a Bride: the blushing Bride of Frankenstein. It's the little lacy white frills along each tier that give it away. How perceptive of the baker to see that the bride may have THOUGHT she loved baseball, but was really a sci-fi geek.
@Craig: Well, you're much "kinder" than I am, in calling those things "large moths"--I was going to refer to them as bats! (Either way, not something one would normally wish for on a baked good...)
=^-.-^=
Home plate is backward on the original cake.

three foul balls?
on the down side, they're foul.
on the up side, he's got three of them.
Man, I hope you guys who are supposed to be (lol) working are on a break (lol), or at least looking over your shoulders (lol), because if I were the boss *snort*, I wouldn't likely take too kindly ;) *wink* to someone playing around while being actually, you know, paid.
...Y'know? =^>.~^= (wink)
Best puns ever on Cake Wrecks!!
@Natalie ("Home plate is backward on the original cake.")
Holey cow--you're right!! Good catch! I wouldn't have noticed that in a gazillion years!
=^!O.O!^=
what the frosting??
the white border at the bottom of each non-white layer?? really?? decorating 101, peeps, don't mix white with ivory, tans or whatever the freak that color is...
UGH
(Annie and MovieMom win the interwebs!!)
Again, I have no sympathy at all for abride who asked another baker to copy some one else's work.
Wow. I really hope the bride had on her running shoes after she saw this cake. She would need them to chase the baker lol. I can only imagine what happened after she saw this.
Well... at least they got it stitched up after the coroner was done with it.
Takes the phrase 'making a balls-up' to a whole new level...
There was obviously something wrong with the batter.
@Pam: ("I have no sympathy at all for a bride who asked another baker to copy some one else's work.")
What about a baker who is willing to COPY another's work? They're just as bad-if not worse!
