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? ;)

Because SIX SEVEN ATE! Haha! (Wait. Am I doing this right?)

Today is a red letter day, fellow wreckies!

 

Well, really more of a red number day.

Maybe I should start over.

 

See, today I've been writing Cake Wrecks for SIX WHOLE YEARS.

Six years!

 

That's 2,190 days, about 2,118 posts, and at least 638 poop puns.

Not to mention all the cupcake cake (patooie!) spit-takes that I've frankly stopped keeping track of.

 

So today's post is brought to you by the magical number six!

[chanting] Six! Six! Six!

Oops.
(Hey baker, you misspelled "Damian.")

 

On second thought, forget the number. Let's just focus on ME.
So...
Happy anniersy to me!!

Haha!

And here's to thousands and thousands more poopy chocolate swirls, crazy misunderstandings, wrecked weddings, overly-literal executions, blatant demonstrations of inferior quality control...

[loud sobbing]

Ahem.

 

But most of all here's to YOU, my dear wreckies, and the increasingly disturbing fan wrecks you keep sending in:

[Good luck censoring THIS, John! Ha!]

Don't ever change, you sick sickos, you. MWAH.

 

Thanks to Emily D., Jamie L., Mike & Johanna, Brooke M., Debbie N., Tanisha M., & Brianna E., who spotted that last one at a friend's baby shower, but no one explained to her that it was a CW tribute, so she was really, REALLY confused, which makes it all SO MUCH BETTER. (Carrot Jockey nipple censors FTW!)

Note from john (thoJ): I'm like a Photoshop master. Click here for the uncensored version.

Happy anniversary, Cake Wrecks! Thank you so much for all the laughs! (And the Sunday Sweets, as well; I found my likely wedding cake baker through there!)

A very happy anniversary. I've only been reading this blog for a few months and it is already an essential part of my day.

The Joy of Six!!!
Thanks, mel.

Happy 6st aniversey! (I'm with Knittedbooties, that's what I see. And Sonic Cherry Limeades are the bomb.)

Frosting faux-pas or
Cupcake cake crash? Whichever,
Jen cuts to the heart.

Oh no, no, no, no.... First there is the new happy meal mascot and now that final cake! I will not be sleeping tonight. So many shades of wrong.

It's true. Never underestimate the power of education.

Mwahahahahaha! THE POWER! (ahem)

hopy anivarsey (ALL in red caps) Jen and team. Thanks for the daily laughs.

Ah, the memories! Like word verification... I miss the word verification! Thanks and happy anniversary!

[Counts up quickly on one hand] Wow, six!

#5 I'm glad someone remembered Ryan's 666th birthday, even if it was met with a certain trepidation by onlookers.

#6 Is / was anyone else sure the center was meant to be a paw print? But that would a.) make absolutely no sense, unless dogs can have an 'ann/ersey' (whatever that might be) and b.) have nothing at all to do with today's six-y theme.

Has anyone seen Theardare? I hope he hasn't been playing with the Unsee Machine again...

Thank you for six years of unending hard work (on your part), and unending enjoyment from your faithful (though sometimes grossed-out) readers! I never pass a bakery counter now without scouting for a wreck. *g*

I hereby nominate the Cake Wrecks team for immortal life, so that everyone can enjoy eternal Cake Wrecks. Sorry to condemn you all to that labor... But gosh, what would we do without you?

What I love about that last one is that it says "Push Erin," rather than "Push, Erin."

Lets all shove Erin out the window!

I thank you, Blondie thanks you, my blood pressure thanks you, my work-numbed mind thanks you, my jaded sense of outrage thanks you, and my keyboard...
no. No, my gummed-up keyboard does not thank you.
Sorry.
Thank all you wildly creative lunatics on both sides of the blog! 6 more years! at least....

Happy Anniversary!
Looking forward to !AT LEAST! another six years of laughs

May 21, 2014 | Unregistered Commenterselkie

Happy anniversary! I still can't believe that it has been six years of crazy wrecks! Wow and wreckerators just can't seem to stop.. yay lol.

May 21, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterArlene

Happy anniversary! Keep up the good work. Your daily posts might be the only thing keeping me just on this side (and I'm not telling which side that is!) of sanity! Nekked plastic babies, keep riding those carrots!!

Congrats on your 6 year streak! :D

Happy 6th (in letters) analversery to [name].
In Comic Sans and blue icing!! Thansk.

Supposedly today is National Quiche Lorraine Day, but it should really be National Wrecked Cake Day, with you as the stars!

Thank you Jen, John, and the whole team - you really do make the interwebs a better place, and we are grateful for all the hard work that you put into sharing this special space with us. Happy 6st 6rd 6nd 6 year annibirthary! Hope you had some cake...

May 21, 2014 | Unregistered Commenterhyphen8

That last cake is nearly goatse-esque.

What? That's like goats screaming like humans, isn't it?

May 21, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterNahhh

Happy 'versary! Thanks for the humor, and for providing possibly the only place on the internet where it is actually worth it to read the comments.

Hoppy Anniesary CW. I've been coming here a while now and I have to say I really aprecate you Jen, John(THoJ) and the whole wrecking team. I don't know how many times my screen has had to be wiped off, or the keyboard blown with canned air to get the moisture out from between the keys. How many times have I heartily guffawed and been shushed in a Public Library or at my desk at work, or at home where NOBODY shushes me- I have lost count. But know that I am a fan and always will be. Thank you for all your hard work, you are appreciated very much. You make people laugh, that is a great calling in life, to lighten the load of others through laughter.

Yes, yes, yes! Thank you here and ever after! I would pay for cakewrecks not a doubt. Never stop the fun! xoxoxo

May 23, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterStoich91

I cannot believe it's been 6 years! I've loved you from the first wreck. I looked up the present you're supposed to give people for 6th anniversaries and was told candy/sugar, iron(?), or wood.

So please, moar sprinkles!!!
And underneat that
Thanks you Jennn and co.!
