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? ;)

A few of my favorite submissions this week.

 

They asked for a Flash-themed birthday cake. You know, that new show on the CW?

Yeah. That one.

 

They got this:

So... A++ on really nailing those colors.

 

Speaking of which, Brittany M. asked her bakery to write, "A+ 100!" on her cake, either to celebrate good grades or a really obscure math joke.

Anyway, since that's all she wanted, Brittany asked them to write it pretty big.

You knew this was coming, didn't you.

 

Last weekend it dropped below 80 for the first time here in Orlando, so to celebrate:

MUTANT BUTTERFLY!

Or is that a worm dragging potatoes?

Either way, I think it gets the point across: YAY FALL.

 

And now, the ugliest Christening cake... of all time:

This was clearly decorated by a hung-over, one-eyed, peg-fingered pirate prone to hand spasms and angry tirades about how much he hates cake. And decorating. And children.

Though judging by all the little scuff marks, he may have let the parrot help.

 

And finally, the submission that made John shout with laughter and then insist on reading aloud to me:

 

Tina F. writes,

"I was overseeing a conference of over 170 priests and deacons, and ordered 2 cakes for dessert. When asked how they should be decorated, I told the baker, 'no decorations - just make them look like dessert cakes. On the chocolate maybe some chocolate drizzle, on the carrot cake maybe little carrots and sprinkles with nuts.'"

I get the feeling the baker only wrote down the first part of what Tina said, though, because here are the two cakes she received:

Give it a minute.

Oh, what a difference an S makes.

 

Thanks to Samantha C., Brittany M., Melissa F., Laura, & Tina F. for not "deserting" us.

@Kim: Too funny!! Kim FTW!

@Miss Paper: Okay, now my curiosity is getting to me; how can you punctuate "I like eating my pets and family," so that it doesn't mean... that?

@Jen: When I read your comment on the third cake, my mind immediately created a scenario:

*door bangs*
"Edna! I'm home! Got a good haul today; come help me get these potatoes to the root cellar and fold up these nets!"
"Coming, dear!"
*inch inch inch inchinchinch*
