Cake Works
April 21, 2014 You guys may think writing Cake Wrecks is all fun and games, but let me tell you: Some days it's all we can do to make sense of our own keyboards!
;)
When you see as many bad cakes as we do, it's easy to lose track of time.
;)
And spacingth. And grammarth.
Then after we sort all the cakes, we have to write something funny-but-also-tasteful, so no one gets offended.
;)
Boom.
Nailed it.
Then there's all the social media stuff!
Twitter is great, until you get the dreaded Fail Whale:
;)
And don't get me STARTED on Facebook:
;)
Then there's Google Plus:
;)
[crickets chirping]
We're constantly upgrading our software.
;)
After the Windons 8 debacle, we've done pretty well with Snow Lepard,
;)
...although it can be a little spotty.
Yep, we've become Master Chiefs of Busines!
;)
This cakey, wrecky busines.
Because you're worth it.
And in the end, I KNOW you're going to like this post.
;)
Coocle Analytics tells me so.
Statistically speaking, the odds are pretty high I'm going to thank Sandra C., Katherine S., Kynli N., Lisa C., Suzanna H., Kate O., Chor J., Julie D., Emily D., and Tim. Because running spreadsheets is WAY easier than spreading frosting on sheet cakes.

Steve Jobs once said, "Older people sit down and ask, 'What is it?' But the boy asks, 'What can I do with it?' "
I must be solidly middle aged, because as I look at these cakes, I find myself asking both...
#1 The keyboard layout explains the "Lekan 8 Gbemi" on the screen. Is that a New Jersey key?
#8 It's spelled "Leppard." Sheesh!
#9 Bad grammar, "busines" is plural. A busine is a medieval instrument, described as a "straight trumpet."
As a techy researcher who loves Cake Wrecks, this post took the cake! ;)
The only thing I can say is WTF?!!?!?!?!?!
I agree with mindy1--- What The Frosting??
I'm sure the thing we all wonder about most is why they didn't finish the white star border around the "gravy boat" picture. Sleepless nights ahead . . . pondering . . . agonizing . . . WHY DIDN'T THEY DO THOSE FEW LITTLE REMAINING STARS?!
What IS that "decoration" on the "Chief" business?? I can't quite make it out.
Ah, Busines. Like cosines, but, you know, scarier.
I'm glad they have Master Chiefs, though.
They're pretty cool guys. They kills aleins and doesn't afraid of anything.
Bwah ha ha ha ha ha!! I completely lost it when I got to "And spellingth. And grammarth." I'm still laughing too hard to comment on the wrecks themselves! Thanks for the good laugh today!
As for Cake #3, that's referring to "gravy boats", and the truly tasteless can in fact get little Titanics for their very own table. Me, I stick with unidentified pirate ships. Sorta goes along with the Dalek and TARDIS salt and pepper shakers I have as well.
Yes, I agree Facebook is junk. That's why I'm not there anymore. But I wouldn't get a cake about it.
And my brother-in-law is named Don, and in no way does he Win. Not, and probably not especially, if there were 8 of him. I'm not even sure he's going to be my brother-in-law much longer.
From now on I'm going to blame all the computer problems on Windons 8. Pretty sure our IT guy will appreciate that.
The 3st one is just...well... What is WRONG with these people???
As someone who is REALLY mad at Google Places/Plus and has to get on the phone and yell at them today for the fourth time in 10 weeks, that one was my favorite. And yes, Coocle Analytics does make about that much sense.
There really is a Titanic gravy boat: http://www.perpetualkid.com/titanic-gravy-boat.aspx
The description os hysterical.
I did a Dilbert cake once that wasn't half bad, and that's saying something considering my art teacher did half my work for me in jr high! LOL
"What the Frosting?" is my new favorite!! Genius! Way better than "why the face?" Which is the one all the kids are using:)
@Maureen: pomegranate seeds with a curl of chocolate. I think the larger question, however, given how many seeds the average pomegranate puts out, is: What did they do with the rest of them?
1) There are just that many Master Chiefs of Busines
2) They wanted to plant a pomegranate tree of their very own & wanted to be SURE
3) They just really like to snack on pomegranate seeds
4) They gave the seeds to their son, George, who said, "Stupid seeds!" and dumped them on the ground where a beanstalk immediately grew and they had to vacate the place because the owner (they rented) called it an unauthorized change and get it the HELL offa my property. Nobody could, even with bulldozers, and George just said (like any teen) "I dunno", so they moved to Baltimore, where they had family. But it does turn out happy in the end, because with hard work and a little bit of aptitude, things did turn out better than they had been. You ever heard the name "Goldman"?
Just a few theories.
so, so, so funny. I love cake wrecks! It always makes me laugh. Now I have to go Coocle some stuff....
Congrats, Lekan & Gbemi, on whatever!
Considering how tragic my gravy usually turns out, a Titanic gravy boat would be rather appropriate and not nearly as offensive as my Hindenburg toaster.
@Maureen, I believe they are red spartan mini-mates figures, like these http://www.figurerealm.com/actionfigure.php?FID=35897&figure=spartanmarkviredspartanmarkviblue . They appear to be holding rocket launchers on the cake.
The less said about #1 the better, although if anyone ever asks me "Who ate Gbemi?" I can tell them "Lekan 8 Gbemi". >.>
Wouldn't "it's all icing" be more appropriate for #3?
Is the "gold" sticker on #5 meant to be sarcastic, or did they really think they did a great job? Or...is that actually what's considered "gold" quality decorating at that bakery?
#6 is the "low-calorie dieters' special" cake!
"Windons 8"...I think that's the bootleg Chinese-counterfeit "bargain" version.
I can't help thinking that #8 could have been worse; it could've said "snow leper"....eesh!
Aww, but that Google Analytics cake is cool.....
I'm posting this to Google Plus. The four of us there will laugh mightily!
The Titanic gravy boat.. words cannot express the why do people come up with these things? Lol plus who thinks to put that on a cake? Too many questions for my brain to handle tonight.
The Google Plus has me rolling!
I have to say, the Google+ one is spot on. I don't know anyone who doesn't hate Google+. I don't think it's humanly possible not to.
I so want a Hindenburg toaster....
Grammerth...Shakespearean grammar?
Love how you get to the Face Book Junkie and even the packaging recognises that the design is gold! Lost it at Google +
What the frosting, who is the genius who came up with that one!!
