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? ;)
November 27, 2015 Mmmmm, turkey leftovers.
Best part about Thanksgiving, am I right?
Unless...
;)
Huh.
;)
[wincing] Ooooh.
;)
THIS IS NOT GOOD.
;)
What the...?!

You know, on second thought, maybe we'll skip leftovers today and just have soup. Yeah. Soup is good.
Thanks to Alia P., Camille C., Cyndi V., Adry, & Sandra W. for pretty much guaranteeing we're about to get banned from Facebook again. I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY, SANDRA.

Is that a chocolate penis on fire? I hope that was not served at the kiddie table. Although, it would be good for teaching safe sex.
I actually kinda love #4. There's something charming about a Wreckerator who has so fully embraced the limits of his/her abilities.
I saw another candidate for this page today at the grocery store, but I had no camera with me and it was not really any worse than what we have been seeing here these last two days.
I salute the first and fourth cookie cakes for looking edible and avoiding comparisons to body parts. See how low my standards have sunk on weekdays? Happy leftover turkey day!
Next website project: soupwrecks!
These are all dreadful. Dreadful because they exist and dreadful because someone actually worked to make them. I give thank that the turkeys are history. Now, on to deformed Santa, deranged reindeer and deconstructed elves!!
(That last cake actually frightens me. Like creepy clowns.)
So the first cake is a proud citizen of Germany. Where they don't celebrate Thanksgiving. Hmmmm..... At least the fourth one is a cute little guy, in spite of his anatomical incorrectness.
Third one down was in an email from my corporate office several days ago requesting that anyone who had cakes like this out 'immediately pull and redecorate'. Not my store, but I'm so proud. We've arrived.
#4 "What the...?"
I don't know, but I'll tell you what it's not. It's not a poo-wang. For which we can all be thankful.
A few of those would be appropriate at the turkey testicle festival. And yes, those do exist.
That turkey penis is on fire!!?? "Your sex is on fire..." Lol!
I'm still trying to figure out why the heck anybody would put a cake in a picture stand VERTICALLY. What in the world did they think would happen? Not the poor turkey's fault. Gravity: it's not just a good thing; it's the LAW.
I have to wonder if these decorators have ever even SEEN a turkey before it hit the butcher's case?
The first cake looks like a black four-legged animal doing the splits with his arms raised in the air in front of a stack of yellow and red gym mats.
And why does the first cake say "Gable Gable"? Frankly my dear Cake Wrecks, why does Clark Gable give a damn about this cake?
seeing what other decorator's have done makes me thankfull for the talent i have as a cake decorator . no one is perfect , we all make mistakes .
[Cue Judy Garland]
"Dear Mister Gable, I am writing this to you,
And I hope hat you will read it so you know--
My heart beats like a hammer
And I stutter and I stammer
Ev'ry time I see you at the picture show.
I guess you're just a loathsome cake . . .
So I thought I'd write and tell you so .. oh .. oh ...
I can't help but think number 4 is ridiculously cute! Seriously, it may be simple, but it made me smile.
Is the first turkey black in honor of black Friday shopping? Love the fashionable yellow toenails on the last turkey cake.
At least number 4 is not phallic! And kind of cute, actually.
No soup for you!
Wow. So much poo and so much hilarity lol. Honestly cannot see anyone buying these cakes and not laughing hysterically when they realize what they look like.
I think that Number 4 is adorable!
#4 looks like a meatball in a Native American headdress. As for #5 . . . I'm so glad I don't have kids reading over my shoulder. Don't know how I'd explain that one.
Cake number 4 is sporting the latest hair fashion -- turkeyfro!
Maybe #4 is the rare and elusive Tofurky?
