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? ;)

Picture This

So Shawna A. asked her bakery to make a cake just like this one from Pink Cake Box:

To make it easier, she even brought in a print-out of this picture. And, since she wanted her cake to say "Welcome Little Monkey" instead of "Happy Birthday," she was sure to cross that bit out. That way, there could be no confusion whatsoever, right?

 

Riiiight.

All in favor of banning the edible photo printer for all eternity, say "Oy VEY."

 

I think the "veys" have it, Shawna.

OH ROFL!!! Wrecked cakes for small children's birthdays are even funnier than wrecked wedding cakes! Let's have some more!

To Nancie, VaBeach alemaP and Debbie ShakesHerHead:

I never see this level of rage and indignation for any other kind of cake. Apparently other people's disappointment, embarrassment, etc is fair game for us to laugh ourselves nine kinds of sick, but when it's for a Child that is believed to Make a Huge Difference somehow.

Well if it's any consolation, chances are the kid wouldn't even know one of the Top Ten Best Ever Sunday Sweets from the most Gawd-Awful wreck any of us could ever remember seeing!

Lazy wreckerator day apparently. I really hope they didn't pay for that. At least the handwriting was nice and readable..

Is there anything under all that frosting in the Turkey cupcake picture? It looks like all frosting. Why not save yourself the trouble and skip the cake, buy a pre-made can of frosting, and pass around a spoon! Ah, the sugar rush....sick to the stomach....wretching...oh, maybe that's where they came up with it?

Why are there so many cake wrecks like this?
