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? ;)

Well, if you’re taking orders, I’d like a hoodie with picture of a cake with a picture of that t-shirt with a picture of a picture of a picture of a picture of a cake on a cake on a cake t-shirt, please, on the front and it all in reverse on the back, and a matching scarf and hat and mittens….

I want to hear the "BUANGHHHH BUNGHHH" Inception music in the background whilst I read this post. It's just too many layers. I need to wake up!!

This is sad. It makes those us "grocery store decorators" who know what we're doing, look bad!! No wonder people are so shocked to pick up a cake and have it look good!! LOL

Did John make the cake on the eleven o'clock update? Or did he order it? And if he DID order it, how crazy do the bakers at your local Publix think he is? Or are they used to this kind of thing now? (So many questions!)

It's almost eleven, EST.......almost time for the cake from the posted picture of the cake of the cake on the cake on the shirt with the picture of the cake that was posted on the site that Jack, er, John & Jen built...

The opening credits to Monty Python and the Holy Grail came to mind reading this post. I was half expecting to see: "We apologise again for the fault in the subtitles. Those responsible for sacking the people who have just been sacked have been sacked." :)

And my brain just exploded lmao. Wow so many ways to put a picture of a cake on a cake lol. Makes me just want to count all the ways but then I would go insane so best not do it and let the professional wreckerators do it instead hehe.

Now we need a picture of that woman sitting on a cake while wearing that shirt and then someone needs to make a sculpture of that image out of cake and then someone needs to put a picture of that cake sculpture on a cake and so on and so forth into infinity!

As the one who submitted the original face palm… errrr… photo…. I have to defend the decorator of that cake. The woman who ordered it brought in the photo, folded up and wadded in her purse, and we told her it would alllllll show on the EI, annnnd her photo would not proportionally fit the cake. She. Did. Not. Care. She just wanted that picture on her cake. Insisted actually. Her kid HAD to have it. We grimaced and accommodated. It is exact what she ordered. Sadly.

EI's suck in the hands of the stupid. That is all.

I see these sorts of things on this site all the time and it's hard for me to believe people can be so stupid. I mean, I know they are, because you are always posting these things but doesn't it make you worry about the future of our world? Unbelievable.

So, how do you wake up from Cakeception? Do you have to eat through the layers? :P

October 1, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterGingerSnap

I want that shirt.....

October 1, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterAnnie

I'm a day late. But if I had been on time I would say

Step away from the computer, Step away from insanity and Go To Bed!!!

Haha! My favorite part of this was my 6 yr old walking in and asking, "Is that a picture of a very fancy cake?" Before I could stop laughing and answer, he said, "Or is it just a very famous cake?"

October 1, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterMeggan

Please please PLEASE tell me that I can actually buy that shirt on CafePress. WANT. MUST HAVE.

October 2, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterAnise Leinen

Now you're making me nervous, I *just* sent that exact Minecraft cake picture to a local bakery as reference for a cake they're making my son for Saturday...

October 2, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterRebecca

Oh hell, this is BRILLIANT! Thank you! :-D

October 2, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterIrene

I would actually buy that t-shirt if you sold it. I'm probably not alone.

October 7, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterMary

Actually, to be completely accurate (or annoying), that last one is:

A picture of a picture of a picture of a cake on a cake on a cake on a picture of a picture of a cake on a cake on a cake.

Say that three times fast.

October 28, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterMommy24Melody
