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? ;)

'Cuz
THER'E BACH!
Now if only this baker would go with them...
Thanks to Ronda S. for assuring me that this post... is clean.
And also to John for helping me make jokes about a movie I've never seen. (I'M SCARED, OK?)

They got the apostrophe right!
It's going to be all right as long as everyone keeps their composer. (And stops letting their kids watch TV.)
perhaps they were Chopin and had the Monet to buy this cake. They told the baker they'd be Bach!
A knife in your Bach?
Or mowed down by short buses?
Your'e move, cake. Your'e move.
Aah Bach. - Radar O'Reilly
I'm assuming that Mr and Mrs Bach named their littlest darling Ther'e. (pronounced Terry). Just to be able to give disgusted looks to people who mispronounce/misspell it.
There was a young daughter named Ther'e
Whose teachers were excedingly wary.
Mom always said
My body'll be dead
Before I'll spell it more clarely.
Perhaps what many are taking to be an apostrophe is actually a slightly misplaced superscript call-out for a footnote, in this case written on the side: "'There', 'their' or 'they're' -- take you're pick."
Movie? This is from that Doctor Who story in which the alien hospital ship with nanotech healers crashes into the Bach family home in Mühlhausen. It not only resurrects the infant PDQ Bach, but starts a bizarre "epidemic" where anyone who touches PDQ is transformed into a replica of him, complete with "wigs" fused to their heads. "The Doctor Waltzes", that was it.
@Jamie Jo wins the internet today!
In other news, snorting coffee out the nose still hurts. Just in case anyone was wondering.
Both of my girls have problems spelling. The oldest has dyslexia and the youngest is just lazy. I swear to Bob I won't encourage them to become wreckorators, although the oldest is a very good artist. I'll just encourage her to pursue her talents in other formats. :-)
@Sharyn, thanks so much for sharing your rain with us in the PNW.
(@Jamie Jo: That's cute!)
So, WtF IS it with thys jazz, huh? I can knot get ove'r this!! How did these people ever graduawa!t from scule?? =^-.-^=
@Jodee: I can't be selfish -- we've gotten just under 20" of rain since Thursday. It's time to let someone else have some.
I heard that they WANTED to buy a dictionary, but they didn't, because they couldn't find one....because, you know...they didn't know how to spell it.
=^e.e^=
I must not have seen this movie either, because I have no idea what you're talking about...
Jen: It's not very scary. Not nearly as scary as a lot of these cakes. So watch it already!
@drgns4vr: Heehee...'Terry'...heehee.
@heloise: does not Radar follow that up by admitting he doesn't know who Bach is? Hmm, I'll have to brush up on my M*A*S*H...
Awesome! Jen channeling John(thoJ) channeling Zelda Rubenstein!
F her'e Bach? Klingons do cake?
Haiku Joy and Drgsn4ever you made my day! (Along with this wreck, that is!)
Jamie jo hehehehe :D I cannot comprehend this cake
The bus on the cake goes "Ther'e ther'e ther'e!"/ "Ther'e ther'e ther'e!"/Ther'e ther'e ther'e!/
The bus on the cake goes "There ther'e--Oh, screw this!
(Where are they FINDING these "bakers/decorators"? MAD magazine?)
Yes, students are Bach. In some places, ther'e Offenbach sooner, if it's not too hot and they can Handel it....
drgns4vr, thanks for recurring giggles.
Oh my. I'm sure the cake tasted grate.
Jen, I haven't seen Poltergeist either. I tried, but that little girl's voice freaked me out so much in the first ten minutes I knew my heart wouldn't survive. You and I can sit in the corner and watch Princess Bride while everybody else watches scary stuff.
BTW, I read the cake with the little girl's voice in my head and I didn't mean to. That's scary.
@SuBee: ("They got the apostrophe right!")
=^?.?^= (I thought I was confused before, but now I KNOW I am...)
I just can't help thinking "mmmmmm....caaaaakkkke."
@mel you're dangerous today.
Thanks for the laughs everyone. Today marks the 4 month anniversary of my momma passing and it's been a rough one. I keep coming here to read through today's comments and go through the archives to find my smiles.
@Jodee: ((HUGS)) :-(
Th'hairy back? UGH appetizing...get me some of THAT action...blech
This actually made me laugh so hard I choked on my own giggles. There's bad spelling and there's . . . this. Wow.
I weep for humanity.
I didn't think that movie was scary at all. It wasn't realistic. Reality is what can be scary! I love a good scare! You think I come here because I'm hungry?? =^-.-^= (heehee)
Hey, mel--Nice to know about the students coming back! I hope they're Copeland with it okay. And if they don't want to walk to class, I hope Debussy's on time. =^~.-^=
Joke all you want, but I'd like to call attention to the sobering fact that while all of the hilarity is going on, this very cake is sitting here, waiting and hoping for a home of its own!! And LOOK at the price tag on it: $19.99!!! Are they kidding??? What are the chances? Who's THAT cake-desperate? And time is running out...tomorrow it may be marked down, but it'll be a day older...and less adoptable/edible by the hour. Now, there is a new program that's like fostering a pet temporarily-you've heard of that, right? Well, this is the FROSTERING program. You take an unwanted cake home, froster it, and...well, eat it. No charge! Just don't bring it back! Bring it up if you must, but don't tell us about it. Call 888-0 I ATE 2 MUCH
A plethora of plastic bus flotsam, an errant apostrophe, an over-abundance of capitalized letters, and misspelling(s) -Whew! That is one exceptionally efficient wreckerator to fit all those offenses in one cake with only two words on it. I doff my imaginary hat in your general direction, Wreckerator!
I am so tired and brain dead right now that I didn't even see the problem with the first ...word?....right away.
Nine letters. And they still can't get it right.
@Jodee: sending you caring thoughts and a virtual hug....
Nice one heloise!
Just Andrea - that's what Hawkeye told Radar to say to try to impress a girl. ☺
@ Jen, no matter what anyone says, DON'T watch that movie! I couldn't sleep for weeks after I saw it. Mind you, I did also make the mistake of watching all three in one day...but still, don't do it.
@ Sharyn, so kind of you to share the rain, we are getting blessed an early dose of thunder and lightening, just a little north of the PNW. (I'm not really complaining, I love storms...it's just unusual to have them this early in the season.)
@ Jodee, my thoughts and prayers to you and your family.
My classroom is next to the band/orchestra room and my students and I are often treated to serenades during the day, so I see nothing out of place with this cake (except that the wreckerator seems to be Haydn the y somewhere)!
@ Jodee - belated ((((HUGS)))) !!!!
@ Jen - I didn't watch it either; I skipped just about every scary movie there is after I saw JAWS. I *finally* watched *part* of Poltergeist...if you count watching between my fingers as they covered my eyes. JAWS is still worse (IMHO) because great white sharks *do* exist & *do* bite us, (even if rarely), and are just off the coast of just about every shoreline in the world (hmm...the polar areas *might* be safe...no wait, there's the Greenland shark & it's in the St. Lawrence river, and *even*, (on very rare occasions), make their way up rivers and into freshwater lakes...NO WATER IS SAFE.... AAAAIIIIGGHHHH!!!
Poltergeists, I just can't believe in them...(of course, watch one come smack me on the head one night when I'm sleeping...) <can't sleep, poltergeist will get me, can't sleep, poltergeist will get me, can't sleep, poltergeist will get me...>
Bach is welsh for small. So they ALMOST got it right!!
