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? ;)

Catch 22

Sometimes what starts out as a cute idea for a cake can go very, VERY wrong.

That's where I come in.

Ready?

I *think* this is a groom's cake.

Let that visual sink in for a moment.

(Get it? "Sink in?")

 

Because it only gets worse from THIS angle:

0.O

Oh.

My.

Freudian Field Day.

(Is it fair to say this wreckerator really blew it?)

 

But on the plus side, at least there's no hook through the bride-to-be's cheek! Haha, am I right? I mean, THAT might have been a little weird.

 

Thanks to an anonymous minion for the bait & switch.

Christine even if that is the intent that the guy is a fisherman and it is a joint birthday, you don't see that the man is shooting ropes and there a bunch of women waiting for the rope? The cake is well done, but the baker must be an idiot not to see what they did.

Groom's cakes are a southern thing, I believe. Every wedding I've ever been to has had one. It usually is placed on a side table and the actual wedding cake has it's own special table. The groom's cake is smaller, often rectangular and only one tier, but it does reflect the groom in some way.

When my daughter was married, her groom was from Minnesota and we had to explain to him that he definitely was going to have a groom's cake - he just had to choose the theme. He had a "Viking" cake, which was a first for our baker, but it turned out nicely and all the groom's friends seemed to like it.
