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? ;)
March 10, 2014 Remember, boys and girls, NEVER ASSUME.
;)
'Cuz that's not 'awesome.'
(It was supposed to say 'Happy Awesome Day.' Keep up, now.)
So let's eat, drink, and... er...
;)
Suddenly all those "Marry Christmas" cakes are starting to make sense.
So in conclusion:
;)
AWK.
WORRRD.

Don't assume, don't assume, don't assume.
I'm just going to wait for someone to explain what the pop top ring looking thing is on the front of the, uh, last cake.
The art of proof-reading is lost... Sixteet?? what is that?
Sung to "You're 16, You're Beautiful, and You're Mine"
I assume that you're keen
To be my merry Queen
Darling, you're so divine
You've six teets, you're beautiful, and you're mine.

I didn't know Eccentrica Galumbits had a cousin...
The first cake's piping gel reminds me of the cream/glue used in denture commercials in the 1980's. I'll awesome that they didn't use Poligrip.
Obviously, the last cake is for the triplets' birthday....or a special cow.
um...assuming these wreckerators know little of modern english...good assumption?
@Sharyn, YAY!!! Hitch Hiker reference. Have you read the one by Eoin Colfer "And Another Thing..." I am reading that at bedtimes-giggles right before falling asleep is awesome- I love seeing a reference like Eccentrica Galumbits that practically NOBODY gets. (with the exception of most of CW commenters) LOVE IT.
awwwwwww. that Merry Me cake is Reduced for Quick Sale. How sad. Nobody wanted to Merry Him!
"Merry Me" and "Huge Me" go together well.
Re last cake: what was the mamma dog’s reaction to the birthday cake from her pups? She was litter-ly pleased.
@Fluffy Cow ~ My guess is a ring from a soda can. Or maybe from a soup can with the pop top lid? Because that makes about as much sense as anything else.
Didn't your mom ever tell you guys it's dangerous to awesome? Yeah, mine either...
Well, THAT's just sad. The second cake wanted to propose Merryage, but it's not getting any younger...and the "REDUCED FOR QUICK SALE" sticker only adds insult to ickery. Those "conversation hearts" knew about it (word gets around) and blabbed it all over the bakery, to the chagrin and humiliation of the heart cake. You can't put a price on drama like that!
=^-.-^= [Actually, you can: $2.]
XKCD just had a cartoon about assuming and asserting... now I understand, it's National Assume Day; at least I think it was today.
@mn_me: Proofreading is indeed a lost art! I used to do that at a now-defunct print shop, years ago. I loved it! It was the "last stop" before the material went to press (next-to-last, if corrections were marked). We readers saved the company tons of money. Nobody cares about it any more, it seems. They have "auto-correct", which is at least good for laughs.
The last one is for their cat...You know, old Sixteet. She's had plenty of litters, and those six teats just keep pumping.
How very sad that the wreckerator was murdered just as he/she was finishing the last letter of that last cake. Or, perhaps, judging by the weird word placement on the cake itself, the wreckerator was very drunk and passed out before finishing that last "n." Your call.
Oh man, I didn't notice that thing before, but now Fluffy Cow, you've got me all pop-top-y curious!

Cakey you and me hurl!

Jen - does your head hurt at the end of the day from shaking it back & forth trying to figure some of these out? or from smacking your forehead when you do figure them out??
What the heck is "Happy Awesome Day". I know that word is way overused but that's going a bit far.
#1: Dumbledor would like to say a few words...
#2: Robin Hoo's Merry Me
#3: Dory wishing a whale named Sixteet "HAPPy BiRThdAY"
sendingtheclowns PERFECT :D. I cannot imagine where these people come from O_o
After Despicable Me adopts those awesome girls, he becomes Merry Me.
Don't these wreckorators know that you should never assume because when you assume you make an ass out of you and me, or in this case just the wreckorator. (Bonus points for those who know the reference)
I think the ring thing on the last cake is to be used to round up those purple/gray worm-things that are crawling all over the sides of the cake.
@Sharyn - Yeah Hitchhikers!! I never thought I'd see the Triple Breasted Whore of Eroticon Six mentioned anyplace other than the books.
That last one was actually a mackerel cookie, and it was for an elderly female cat. No, really. HONest. The voices said so, and they're never wrong... Well, except for that one time...
Merry me. Tell me some jokes. Make me laugh the way the Cakewrecks do.
If I had six sweet teets I'd wish them happy birthday too.
That last cake was obviously for a marvelous set of triplets.
THANK YOU TIP YOUR WAITRESSES*
*and then return them to their original upright and locked position
THANK YOU
Saw pic elsewhere of one that read "Good Luck Suzanne Underneath That We Will Miss You"...yes all of that was actually written on the cake!
I used to work with a woman whose nickname was Triple Nipple" but "Sweet SixTeet" beats that hands (or other body parts) down!
Too sick to bee witty today. However, I am now watching "The Princess Bride" be sick tomorrow? Inconceivable!
@Fluffy Cow: It's a clear plastic pacifier. Really. If you blow up the image you can just BARELY see where the bead/nipple is pointing toward the main part of the cake, and the ring part hangs down from baby's mouth. Suddenly the "Six-teet" part makes an awful kind of sense; bet she doesn't have a sweet seventeen birthday...
Is there such a thing as a "Sour Sixteen"?
P.S. Thanks to all who offered support to my Sunshine Girl and I. She is beaming most of the time, but there are a few times yet when skies are dark. But at least we can see hope. And hope is a great thing, indeed.
Oh man lol. Now that I look at the first cake it does look like poligrip was used to pipe with. Blech. I really wonder if the customers actually bought the cakes or just laughed hysterically when shown.
I recently saw a youtube comment featuring the word ''SARKASSOME'' (yes, in all caps) which, I eventually figured out, was supposed to mean ''sarcasm''. I don't know how these psuedoliterate nitwits manage to get through everyday activities safely.
Forget the inscriptions. Why is the third cake decorated with green lentils?
Why is it that I get all the Sunday Sweets pictures, but here I do not see a single image? The captions and comments are fun and all, but they are pretty cryptic without the actual cakes.
[Editor's note- Can you email me Alison? I'd love to figure out if this is just a problem with you or if it's affecting others. Thanks! comments@cakewrecks.com -john (thoJ)]
@Sharyn, the line "You've six teets, you're beautiful and you're mine" made me spit all over my computer.
And I STILL have a bloody nose from laughing too hard on one of the posts!!
@Elliott: You saw it HERE on CW!!!
