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 27, 2014 You should know two things about today's wreck. No, three.
Three things about today's wreck:
1) It's supposed to look like a tennis racket.
2) That word was supposed to be "ace." ACE.
;)
Ooopsie.
3) Looks like Jarman JUST GOT SERVED.
Thanks to Sarah H. for intercepting today's wreck - and 40 geek points to anyone who correctly IDs today's title quote!

Well, at least they got "you're" right...
That quote is from Chuck, I believe! (Coming from a proud owner of a Jeffster shirt)
Mr. Whipple says, "Please don't tease the Jarman."
It looks like a flower-bedecked nasal aspirator made of poo.
But the workmanship is so perfect!
Maybe is was made by Jarman's ex.?
Nobody expects a tennis racket that looks like a lovely, flower draped marshmallow fluff pond dedicated to an ass...
Quote made me think of Princess Bride, right before they storm the castle
Mirror, oh, mirror,
say if I'm a sweet blossom
or if I'm an ass.
Steven Bartowski from Chuck!
It looks a lot like one of those old bicycle seats from the late 70's, early 80's, lovingly bedecked with flowers. It would be a nice cake if that was what it was supposed to be. There's no helping the inscription though. Lol
Chuck is my favorite!!! That totally made my day. The "tennis racket" on the other hand...I just don't want to think about it. Poor Jarman.
What SuBee said. In SPADES! (get it? Huh? Get it?)
I had to look up the title on the Interwebs. You know, that thing has EVERYTHING.
{Didn't help, though. We don't have a TV.}
Before I read anything and just looked at the picture, I thought it was a bicycle seat, so the "ass" part made sense to me...because I think an arse gets quite sore after sitting on a bicycle seat for any length of time, and I figured the cake was for a cyclist with a sore arse.
Rats. I'm devoid of geek points today. :-(
I believe it's a tennis racket CASE.... "I believe, I believe, It's silly, but I believe"
Sure, we could say this cake was made by a high-strung baker, and he’s certainly no ace, and maybe he needs a break, but when you look at baseline cakes, well, he’s certainly at the disadvantage and there’s no love here; the fault is clearly his. His decorating skills are wobbly; he needs to get a grip on his forehand and steady himself. All in all, this is a net loss. And one more passing shot: while I’d hate to think this, maybe this is an underhanded baker who strings his customers along and doesn’t have the guts to make a decent cake, and this whole thing’s just a racket.
And one more thought: if this guy's tennis racket is so neglected it's overgrown with flora and fauna, I'd hate to see his balls....
Instead of looking like a tennis racquet, it looks like a bedpan.
Chuck. 40 geek points to me. :)
So @mel ~ I just have to say that pretty much every single time I am in awe of your amazing talent. You know how to make me giggle and snort. You sometimes make me sigh with the sweetness of your soul. We are so lucky to have you here to play with us. We're even luckier that Jen and john(thoJ) created this wonderful playground for us.
That being said, I'm so glad I remembered to put the coffee down this morning!!!
Today is my 2 year anniversary at work. I'm not expecting cake but I'll let you know if I get a wreck :-)
"NObody expects the Spanish Inquisition!" First done by Monty Python, on the tele.
Just wondering; had this cake decorator ever actually seen a tennis racket? No strings...and flowers???
But it's in ironic quotes, so that makes it all better.
Looks like it was made with, you know, longing. Made by a person really longed to see a tennis racket.
@Jodee: Happy Workiversary! Hope they wrock you with a wreck!
@ mel~Wow! I think your pun-per-line ratio may have hit a new high; one zinger right on the heels of the one before it~ I bet you'd have fun calling a horse race!
=^~.~^=
I don't want my geek points as much as I want the show back - although it did get wonky there towards the end. *Casey grunt* And what is with all the flowers?!
@mel: You've lobbed another great response. There's no way I could hope to match your punning skills. And I'm not game to try -- too tired today. You made several excellent points!
WhenI first saw this, I thought someone had tried and seriously failed to portray a steak. I never would have associated this with tennis.
ACE paddle sans shaft. Yes, Jarman, you've just been served. Pretty flowers though.
Laughed too hard at this... and good job on the Chuck ref! You win the internet today!!
Awe cute, and now I must watch reruns of Chuck :). And maybe Awesome won't have a shirt on for a while :)
its from chuck. I didn’t watch the 5th season. I feel bad. But the first episode of the 5th season just stopped me in my tracks saying “wtf just happened”. If you tell me to watch it, I’ll turn on netflix right now and do so.
It kinda looks like a pork chop. At least the you're is right. I bet the ass was proud of this cake when it was put down in front of him or her.
Its from Chuck -right?
AH! CHUCK reference! And apparently several of us Chucksters are present and accounted for. I have a Jeffster shirt, too! :)
LOL !!!
I was thinking "pork chop smothered in white gravy". But, oooooookay then.
(Overlook me, please. I've not had lunch yet.)
Hey! Someone is a Chuck fan! :D I love me some Chuck!!
Someday I will learn that Cake Wrecks are NSFW. I am unsuccessfully trying to stifle the giggles.
Google up 'leather harness yoke for donkey' and look at the images. I think this is what the baker was trying to accomplish, I think...
With that thought of kinda knowing what the 'tennis racket' is, then Jarman being an ass makes a smidgen more sense. Maybe he is a ass farmer. :)
"Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!" Geek points to me!!
I thought it was a bicycle seat, so ACE probably would have confused me more
A tennis racquet? I thought it was a bulb syringe!
I can't stop laughing!!!
I think it looks like a flower-laden pork chop!
When Mel is on his game and has his mind set, no one can match him for backhanded insults.
Didn't Gambit say that to Professor X about the cards he uses?
It looks like a bicycle seat. In which case the inscription would make a little more sense.
40 points? Quote from Orion from the tv series Chuck.
My second guess was tennis racquet, first was a pork chop. But the ass really seals the deal.
I need to get me a complete set of "Chuck" DVDs. I miss Chuck and Sarah and Casey and Morgan. As for that being a tennis racket ... mmmmm, okay?
My guess was mandolin.
Maybe we don't know the whole story here. Here's what I think happened:
Customer: You made a mistake with that cake I ordered. It was supposed to say "ace," not "ass."
Wreckerator: Yeah, I know.
Customer: So why did you make it say "ass"?
Wreckerator: I'm guessing you don't know Jarman very well. Jarman is my ex. I'm right on this one. Trust me.
[In real life Jarman is very nice and not an ass at all. Now please tell your lawyer to leave.]
I thought it was intended to be a pork chop. Which really does not explain the inscription at all.
Chuck. Of course. What his dad always says. Can I translate those geek points into points on our points chart and get an M (one M&M)?
