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? ;)

Princess: Impossible

In honor of National Princess Week, I've arranged to have some of the world's most famous royalty come and visit! Woot woot!

But then they all canceled, so we got these instead:

YIKES.

 

I mean, uh, won't you say hello, ladies?

"I DON'T LIKE YOU."

 

[silent glare]

 

"Life is awful, and then you die.
"....Happy birthday."

 

Ohhhh kaaay...

Oh, but look! I think Ariel made it, after all!
To think, she swam all this way just to wish you aAAAAAUUUGHH!!

[climbing off floor]
[adjusting hair]

Well, I guess we should just try to make the best of things.

Play us off, Hell's Belles!!

[heavy metal intro plays]

"Tale of cakey crime!

[JUDJUDJUDJUD]

"Cruel as it can be!"

"Curse these princess trends!

[YOWWWW!]

"When will it all end?!"

[music slows]

"Someoooone call
aaa
priiieeeeest!"

You know there really IS an all-female AC/DC tribute band called "Hell's Belles", right?

And I'm impressed that Amanda's 22nd birthday Snow White looks an awful lot like Doris the ugly stepsister from Shrek. Maybe they just had their fictional characters mixed up..?

Is it only me or does the last one look a bit like Michael Jackson painted by Pablo Picasso? It's only me? Ok, then.

The last one, if you made the dress green, would have been a dead ringer for Carol Burnette in her "Went With The Wind" sketch. Which then would have been a most epic cake win for the ages, in my honest Carol Burnette loving opinion

I don't know why but these gave me the giggles. It's as if they're not quite disasters, but off and awkward and wrecky enough to make them oh so very un-princesslike. By the time I saw the hulking torso on Belle (Emma's cake) I had tears running down my face.

Ok does anyone else notice the eerie resemblance the princess(?)in blue has to Joan Rivers? Just saying.
