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? ;)

It's a Tough Job, But Someone's Gotta Blow It

WARNING: In-your-end-o jokes ahead. Hide the kids!

*****

John: "For some reason we got a few complaints over that Labor Day cake, so let's steer clear of anything off-color today, ok?"

Jen: "Noooo problem. I have the perfect ON color cake we can use."

John: "Yeah?"

Jen: "Yep. I call it, 'TASTE THE RAINBOW.'"

John: "NO. Definitely no."

 

Jen: "What, you don't like it?
"Then how about 'Rubber Baby Buggy Balls'?"

"See, you can already tell it's a boy!"

John: "Why does the stroller have... ?! Never mind. No."

 

Jen: "Tiger Beat?"

John: "You're killing me here.

"Can't you just post some wrecky flowers or something? Please?"

Jen: "Flowers? ON IT."

[five minutes later]

"Got one! This baker says her co-worker made a border of 'exotic flowers.' You like?

"I think I'll call it, 'Ring Around the Posy Peens.'"

John: [silent glare]

"The Pollenators?"

[...]

"Petal Pushers?"

[...]

"Sticky Stamens?"

[...]

"Calla Willies?"

[...]

"One-Eyed Snapdragons?"

[...]

"Penis Flytraps?"

John: "You're answering tomorrow's e-mail."

 

Thanks to Jody M., Amber G., Ashley, & Anony M. for helping us see last Monday's cake through wang-colored glasses.

Oh! It WAS a joke! Well, it still confused me more than the Snuffy football penis......thing. :)

That must be one special, happy penis to have put a rainbow over it!
And is that what a tiger's penis looks like???

Jen & John,

I read your aquarium Epbot post and just wanted to give you some support & love. Please don't let rude people get to you. You light up our days with your clever posts and if you occasionally want to publish a rude cease & desist letter for us to make fun of to lesson your stress, we'll happily read it and laugh with you. I'm pretty sure the offended party does not understand the internet, or good publicity, or humor. That's not your fault.

We love you!

Jen, you just made my day. Taste the Rainbow!

September 8, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterKarla

Hahaha you guys crack me up every time.
Keep them coming....

This post is too darn funny!! Haters need to get a clue! Learn to laugh a little. Still trying to figure out how I should be oppressed by this.... IT'S FREAKING FUNNY PEOPLE!!!! Get off your high horses!

I laughed so hard that tears ran down my pants

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! *deep breath* HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! i'M DYIN' HERE! OMG!

Oh My Word! I so needed this laugh today! This is the first site I read when I get home from work, and you certainly didn't disappoint today. I barely kept it together right through the Calla Willies...but I lost it at the Penis Fly Traps.

And then the comments!....my sides are aching :) Thanks again!

Keep up the good work!

You all are hilarious. I love the CW family...even those who mistook Su, uh, Former Fan's satire for outrage.

Every time I see an "unintentionally" erotic cake, my brain screams, "THEY SEE THAT! I KNOW THEY SEE THAT." Maybe all wreckeraters are pure as doves, unlike we wreckporters. ๐Ÿ˜‰

September 8, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterAngelaS

It's a good thing I didn't read this while I was at work today. I would have disrupted a lot of quietly working people with my boisterous laughter.

September 8, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterJess

I peed.......and I am not pregnant....or old.... I snorted so loud my husband had to know why. This was as good as reading about how sugar free gummie bears affect the "tummy" this so makes my day!!!

September 8, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterChristina

What the hey hey. At least one of those bakers had to know what it looked like. They can't all be this pristine minded that they do not see the obvious peens, one of them has to be a pervert like us. :p

September 9, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterAddy

Seriously, what was that rainbow cake supposed to be depicting? I actually scrolled back up to look at it again in the hopes that something else would come to mind but I still have no idea what that thing was supposed to be. It looks like Mr Hanky died and is going to the light or something.

@Maureen; thank you for permanently adding the term 'penis Snuffy football' to my vocabulary. Now its in there forever and I'll never know when its going to pop up in my head.

September 9, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterTifa

I started losing it at "Sticky Stamens", and lost it completely with "One-eyed snapdragons".

Who knew flowers could be erotic AND delicious?

September 9, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterMSTeacher3K

SuBee, what are you bringing to the bunker? ;)

Great post, Jen and John. The dog is wondering why I'm laughing so hard. (BTW, I thought it was mel or Sharyn.)

September 9, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterZippy

CuriousT, thank you for reminding me to check Epbot..I love watching the jellyfish at the aquarium.

As for the events that prompted the jellyfish: apparently some people are too high and mighty and important to realize that someone is paying them a compliment.

Luckily for us, Jen & John are not those people.

Thank you CW team for your fully functional senses of humor and nearly superhuman ability to be civil to troglodytes, trolls, and other vermin even when provoked. You are a class act and you make the internet a better place.

Oh, wait, comments on the cakes. Right...

It seems to me that the sprinkles on the first cake should be up near the top. Or would that be the tip?

They do match the stripes nicely.

The kindest thing I can say about cake #3 is that it looks more like Mr. Snuffleupagus in purple earmuffs than a tiger.

"I think it's a mail pram"
"How can you tell?"
"Didn't you see it's little balls?"

Mount Up! [...?...]. It means, get on your horses. [ooohhh]

@TLC I don't know why, but "The baby cake would be beautiful if it could be castrated" has me laughing just as much as the list of flower names! Definitely one of my favorite Cake Wrecks post ever!

September 9, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterJulia

Hereby requesting an e-mail report ... *big grin*

was Former Fan serious? Okay, today's was a bit beyond the beyond. But really, it was right there ...

Has Cake Wrecks been in a movie yet? What an opportunity for a Cake Gone Wrong. Or 5, considering his, hers, showers, etc. What a fabulous wreckortunity for mass hysteria and embarrassment.

I don't comment nearly enough to pay back all the delighted laughter and fun this website gives me. I ADORE this post. I adore all your posts!

September 17, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterIris

Help! I'm dying! XDDDDD

September 23, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterWolfy

I don't get it.

Any of them.
