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? ;)

I read "Alderaan places" and immediately had Eddie Murphy's voice in my head as Buckwheat singing "Yookin' pa yub."
Apart from the weirdly flexible arm, I actually think that this design is really cute...am I mad?
Great pun, but the science fiction movie I thought of when I saw this cake was not from the Star Wars trilogy.
That's no foot...
I've never been pregnant, so I don't know if I'm right, but I can't help evaluating the foot / hand ratio and extrapolating it out. Is it me, or that baby going to be the size of a normal two-month old?
I like it too. Cute!
Um... Gotta hand it to them. It takes someone who can really stretch their imagination to come up with that. Or something.
I love this! It's cartoony and well done. Hardly a wreck!
Debby - I think it's pretty cute and well done too. Although I can see how it could be creepy.
I looked at this at least a dozen times before I noticed the problem. I believe I need an eye exam...
The baby is breech...
I've got you under my skin
You foot keeps pushing out parts of me
It creeps me out some. I think that is smart of me.
Could you please pull your foot in?
Love the Alderaan pun. Had it been a CCC, would you have said "CCC. <<Tatooine>>"?
Debby, eating human torsos is hardly ever cute. :)
I wish my preggo boobs looked that good.... :D
Aside from the weird placement of the arms, I agree with those that think this is a cute take on the baby belly cake. I like it more than most!
Judging by the size of that foot, Mrs. Noodle-Arms looks to be in her 7th or 8th trimester.
I just can't grasp a limbless, headless, pregnant torso as being remotely tasty. Or tempting.
"So...would you like a slice of boob or womb?" Ew.
The alien spaghetti arms just reinforce this.
Give me the lovely cakes with pastel polka dots or baby animals over one of these any day!
This design could have been greatly improved if they went a little higher on the body and included shoulders.
This has to be an alien mother-to-be. Arm growing out of side-boob all noodley like it has no bones? That's just not right! Plus the thumb to finger length is WAY off. Those fingers are freakin' lo-ong! I'm kind of imagining that there are suction cups on the underside of those hands And don't get me started on that foot. What's in there? A toddler? Whoa. I really can't wait for this trend to be OVER! But I do have to say, this is the most well executed wreck I've seen yet. That lace trim was a nice touch.
@Thom Mcan:
"7th or 8th trimester"?? Proportionally (and humanly) speaking, I've seen feet smaller than that on two-year-old children! That's just plain creeperiffic. Still, it's kind of sad that the Little Mother won't ever get to see the child...or take it for a walk in the park...or do much of-- well, anything. But cute dress!
=^e.e^=
And people wonder why I refuse to go to baby showers.
Why is her floppy arm growing out of her boob? Also, can someone please hire poor Thing! He's been unemployed for far too long if he has to resort to being a cake model.
Nothing good can come of this cake lol. Wow. Could be a lot worse though so in that respect this isn't as bad and that is saying a lot about the ones I have seen.. eek.
i don't know who started this belly cake trend, but it needs to stop. that and the baby-shaped cakes that they have at baby showers that turn out creepy-looking.
Did nearly 70 commenters see "arms"?
I did a double take myself, and totally cracked up when I realized it's such a good visual suggestion/optical illusion (and a super creepy foot distraction) that it took a very good second or third look to see that there are not "arms"! Noodle-like or otherwise. Growing from side-boobs or anywhere else. Only one arm. (...and a disembodied hand)
I'm still traumatized by the "vagina" cakes. At first glance I wondered why this was a wreck. As far as wrecky baby shower cakes go, this one's pretty decent! :D
As far as Skele-Gro is concerned, it probably isn't safe for expectant mothers.
I LOVE the avant-garde arm and the clever heart hands around the footprint! Not a wreck in my book - but since it's your blog... lol :)
That right arm is creepy. What's up with the severed left hand? I think the baby's trying to escape.
Fully armed, I can live with. Just be glad it wasn't another of those Operational baby cake wrecks. Ew.
For the record, the hormone that makes pregnant women all stretchy (although not usually that much) is called "relaxin". Really!
Yech! Can we just have a cease and desist order on these foot-indented belly-cakes altogether? Please? They’re trying to cutesify it with the little hand-heart but it’s SO not working! Why would anyone ever want a cake like this? This is never NOT stomach-turning!
Where. Did. The. Arm. Go.
I actually had a customer come into my shop and ask if we could do this cake. It took every ounce of self control to not say oh yeah I just saw that on cake wrecks!!!! I just said it'll look a lot better without the arms!
