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? ;)

Sunday Sweets Hitches A Ride

Hey, Hoopy Froods! Don't look now, but it's Towel Day!!

(By CakeCentral member JenLGAJ)

 

But Don't Panic!

Even if you forgot your towel, we've got you covered:

(By I Dream in Icing)

So you'll be safe from any Ravenous Bugblatter Beasts of Traal.

 

Now, let's fire up our electronic thumb and take a spin among Douglas Adams' stars!

(By Strawberry Lane Cake Company)

We'll look for land masses with lovely, crinkly edges, and we'll never, ever use the word "Belgium."

(At least not gratuitously.)

 

I promise, we'll have a whale of a time!

(By Gelly's Cakes)

Um, maybe I should rephrase that...

 

We'll flollop, willomy and glurry on Sqornshellous Zeta with Zem,

(By Guloseimas da titia Lilly)

...and his friends Zem, Zem, Zem, Zem, Zem, and of course, Zem.

Voon!

 

And maybe we can figure out where all the dolphins went.

(By Crunchies & Munchies)

It's been So Long...

 

Let's ask the mice, or Marvin the Paranoid Android!

(By Annica's Cakes)

Heck, he has a brain the size of a planet, so he ought to be able to figure it out.

 

And I'm sure we'll run into Agrajag again!

(By CakeCentral Member Ladybug Lady 13)

Really sorry about that, Dude. We didn't see you.

(You remember Agrajag, right? That poor creature who is continually reincarnated and then unknowingly killed -- every time -- by Arthur Dent? Of course you do...)

 

We'll stop at Milliways and dish with the Dish of the Day, before sitting down to a nice meal of...
um...

(By Debbie Does Cakes)

[*Gulp*]

 

...salad.

(By The Sugar Syndicate)

Definitely salad.

 

You don't mind traveling by Chesterfield sofa, do you?

(By CakesDecor member Coocakecachoo)

Any other mode of transportation is most definitely not Krikkit.

(Extra geek cred if you get the sofa reference -- I even managed to stump Jen!)
(Shhhhhh... Don't tell her I ratted her out...)

 

I promise we'll get you home in time for tea.

(By Cakes by Lorinda)

Or something almost, but not quite, entirely unlike it.

 

And maybe some cookies.

(By Cookie Cowgirl)

Because even though the mice have assured us 42 is the answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything, a couple of Sweets couldn't hurt.

I just really wanted to say, SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE.

June 1, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterDudette

Seriously the best post yet, love it!

June 5, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterEmily

Thank you for having this theme! You made my day! I must have a Douglas Adams cake for my 42nd birthday. Now I need to find the sixth book in the trilogy.... So much awesomeness!

Mmmmmmmmmmmm.....Steak Cake.......gllllllllaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrggggggghhh.......
And that salad cake looks so real!

August 24, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterBigg3469

Lovely cakes, but just look at North of Europe on the Globe cake! It most certainly doesn't look like that in our maps. Or British Isles. What a mess! Not really worthy of Magrathean Planet builders awarded Norway coast line...

September 5, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterLaura

Wonderful cakes and I'm thrilled to see some references to Sir Terry Pratchett's and the Glorious 25th.

May 25, 2015 | Unregistered CommenterHelen

Oh, how I love you, Cakewreck.com, for this salute to the Hitchhikers books. How I long for them to do Hitchhiker references on "The Big Bang Theory," but, alas, it's all about speaking Klingon. If only you'd managed to get "a piece of fairy cake" reference in thereā€¦.but I did have to be reminded of the significance of mattresses.

June 5, 2015 | Unregistered CommenterMeredith M.

I know these are classified as sweets and not wrecks, but something REALLY doesn't seem kosher about that whale's blowhole...

Do you suppose it's a sperm whale? ;)

August 21, 2015 | Unregistered Commenteranonymous

Excellent post! Thank you so much for including the mattress people. Sqornshellous Zeta is one of my favorite planets, up there with Earth, Magrathea, Raxacoricofallapatorius (just because it's fun to say) and Earth again. Happy Towel Day to all you hoopy froods out there - you know where your towels are and are clearly women, men, and non-gender-specific life forms to be reckoned with.

Yes, I know I've mixed fandoms. It's okay.
