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? ;)

A Failure To Communicate, Part 48

There's something really beautiful about one person looking into another's eyes and saying, "I understand you."

And then the other person being all, "Then why did you write 'Au Caps' on my cake when I asked for it in all caps??"

As you can see, that was not the case.

[sound of pin dropping]

Ahem.

 

Granted, 99.99% of the time it's "Happy Birthday," but no no, bakers, I'm SURE that's right:

So Hill Birthday, Jill. HILL BIRTHDAY.

 

For an office retirement party Davis asked the baker to write all the retiree names around the cake randomly:

"No, YOU'RE out of order!!"

Fortunately Davis tells me they were still able to "enjou" the cake.

 

And lastly, my new favorite cake puzzle! Let's see if you can decipher what it was supposed to say:

What, haven't had your coffee yet?

Ok, I'll give you a hint: After all these years, this baker's days are numbered.

Check the comments if you're still lost; I'm sure your fellow wreckies will be happy to oblige. ;)

 

Thanks to Leigh B., Jill H., Davis, & Cindy J. for the brain teaser.

I met a young girl in the South of France,
so I took twenty pages to describe her pants,
my name is Zola,
Z-O-L-A Zola,
Emile Zola...

@SuBee: yes, it was....however, great minds....

This whole affair shows just shows the extent to which the music of Zoly remains unexplored and unappreciated. People are SUCH philistines.

Oh my side! The comments from Julie & SaraCVT about the "Randomly" cake had me howling! hahahaa! Hilarious.

Actually, today was the anniversary of Jill's terrible tumble down that dratted hill with Jack. She tries so hard to forget it, but her family insists she face up to her fears once a year - and soften the trauma with cake...

I still say the retirement cake was pretty lol. Just ignore the spelling errors and the randomly and it would be perfect. I almost read that last one as rectal as well. Eeeek.

I didn't even try to give ZOLY a chance (my decaf didn't work), but as for the Jill's birthday I read: "Kill Birthday Jill".
Which is exactly what the decorator did ;)
KILL ZOLY EVERYBODY :D

Thanks Muria, KW, Karen, Shonna ~ and Leah too! You really made my day :)

I do believe that the only reason the baker/decorator wrote "Zoly" instead of "2014" was because of the poor handwriting on the order. Thanks for the laughs music ppl. I've got something new to get that other horrid song out of my head. :)

In defense of the last wreckerator, it's pretty impressive that he/she was able to get the treble clef and the direction of the notes right. Even if the tune sounds like one of those nonsensical texting sounds that comes preloaded on a phone.

I'm a little concerned that only the female members of the Randomly family were let go from this job. What about the male members? Did they keep their jobs? Or were they never hired to begin with? Somewhere in this, there is some sexist stuff going on in the HR department of that company. And I really think someone needs to investigate it before they start laying off the females of the Obviously and Weirdly families.

I think the last one just might be recital joy but HOW DO U GET ZOLY OUT OF THAT! It might be an apology, though.... hmmmm, I'm so zoly that I messed up your cake. I'm cool with that.

Thank you, Khereva! It's been a while since I saw a Kinks reference. Lots of memories! (and nice use of the tune!)

Solo Recital, that's the name of the piano solo recitals, I'l guess... Blessings

So the bakery took the liberty of using the English to 1337, 1337 to English dictionary? €1455¥
