February 20, 2015 Some of my favorite new submission this week:
Tara wanted rock n' roll:
;)
...but what she got was wreck n' woe:
;)
Aww. Play us the song of your people, little wreck!
["Wa wa WA waaaaaaaah!"]
Ok, you can stop now.
This next one inspired me to write a little verse:
;)
Wishing
Hoping and such
Jo you s
SPAAAACE!
And speaking of proper spacing:
;)
That's pretty memorable.
(Give it a second.)
(Theeere it is.)
You know how some bakers like to keep an eye on their cakes?
;)
Well, that reminded me of this older wreck:
;)
THIS CHANGES... well, nothing.
But I thought it was funny.
Q: What's worse than using giant plastic ribbon all over the cake?
A: Not using enough.
;)
What we have here is a basic misunderstanding of how ribbon works.
And finally, since I just realized I haven't shared a fan-made wreck in ages, here's a fun homage from Kimberly:
;)
The best part? I give it a month before this starts popping up in "cake fail" slideshows all across the web, since the FailBuzzLOL sites never bother to read the posts they're ripping off, and keep putting up intentional fan wrecks from our archives. :D
I bet Steven's is safe, though - and yep, he actually asked the baker to write this:
;)
That's definitely a "darned if you do, darned if you don't" situation, bakers.
BUT I'M NOT SORRY.
[evil grin]
Thanks to Tara M., Jenna R., Mark O., Terri C., Tabatha G., Julia E., Kimberly S., & Steven B. for finally finding a wreck no one else will steal. AWWW YEAAAAAH.

Perhaps by the time the 9th Katie has her birthday, they will have worked out how to do the ribbon.
I think the only thing missing from the fan-made wreck is..... sprinkles. Your forgot the sprinkles??!!! What were you THINKing???!!! Hahahahahahaha Love the mohawk babies and writing on that one.
Cockasaurus Rex?!!! roflmbo
That homage cake is great :D I needed a good laugh this morning XD
Of course there wasn't enough ribbon for 8th Katie...they used it all up on cakes for Katies one through seven.
Sorry 8th Katie,it's a hard lesson to learn, but the last kid just gets whatever is left. In fact, the cake may actually be a hand-me-down.
All Hail Kimberly!! Those are some prime sperm balloons! Very well done.
Love the last cake!! And ten points to the baker for being a good sport!
I wonder if Birthday Shane does parties.
I was more appalled at the "8th" being below the "Birthday" line than I was about the stingy beribboning.
I saw the first cake pic and hadn't scolled down yet and was trying to figure out what was wrong with it. Then I scrolled down and my eyes bugged out. YIKES!!!! Well, at least the dials look good...
That last cake.......BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😆😆😆
I'm not totally sure, but I *think* they did mess up the sub-inscription on the last cake - because it looks like the frosting was "raked" over. If so, that's pretty funny.
To think until today I didn't know the phrase "everybody poops" was even relevant to guitars...
Ahh, Muhlenberg is a college. (I waited for it, it didn't come - hello, Google.)
Micah and Paige look pretty forgettable. You can have 'em, Yale and Muhlenberg.
Is Sheri Leela's long lost sister? Monocularism tends to run in the Turanga family.
Are Yale and Muhlenberg universities? Otherwise I'm notgetting the Congrats cake.
Can you explain the "Yale & Muhlenberg" cake...I'm not getting it.
(I'm a little slow sometimes- Haha!)
Ok..I tried... what was the Yale one supposed to say?
I don't normally comment here, probably because I'm not clever enough to join the party, as is evidenced by the reason I'm de-lurking today...I don't get the Yale and Muhlenberg cake. help?
Love the blog since the beginning!!
For Getting Micah and Paige.
Congratulations, Yale and Muhlenberg (universities) for getting Paige and Micah (as new students)
I think the college cake is supposed to say
Congrats For Getting
Yale & Mulenberg
Micah & Paige
Should it be "Congrats Micah and Paige for getting (into?) Yale and Muhlenberg"??? Or is it just bad spacing, and they're congratulating the colleges "for getting" Micah and Paige?
Put a space between "for" and "getting" and it will make more sense.
Staring at the Congrats cake thinking I don't get it....oh wait now I get it! Read the caption underneath and freak out that cakewrecks anticipates my thought process! Jedi Mind Tricks at work.
AAAAAHHHH! Lightbulb moment! I didn't get the Congrats cake either until just now! (And after reading the comments and learning that it was talking about universities)
It shouldn't be "forgetting." It should be "for getting" as in Micah and Paige got accepted into the two schools. (I think? Maybe?)
To all of you who don't get the Yale cake: well, misery loves company.... I don't get it, either!! Furthermore, I'm pretty sure I don't want it! Look at the "attitude" displayed on it! Those two look kids as though we're putting them out just by looking at them! Sheesh--cake kids these days, you know? I suggest we give this cake a chance to age and mellow out a bit...get a little experience under its crust. See what it's like in the real world, where it's not all friendship bracelets and waterproof watches. This cake has it's whole life ahead of it...until dessert, anyway. A toast! To youth, and cake, and not forgetting to lick the frosting off the back of the photo.
=^-.-^=
I confess: I don't get the Yale cake either. A little help? Is it that the names should be reversed so that they correspond to the order of the kids on the picture, from left to right?
I "think" the Yale cake is meant to say 'Congrats to Micah & Paige for getting into Yale & Muhlenberg' but I could be wrong.
Bowing to the humor of the last two cakes. Well done, fans!
OK, I didn't get the Yale cake until seeing some earlier comments, so no worries there.
But once you realize the first 2 are universities, Paige and Micah are graduating high school (don't they look excited?), you soon realize that a space between for and getting would make it a much more celebratory cake.
In defense of the one with the pink leopard ribbon those ribbons come in as one big plastic piece. It's not actually a ribbon. The biggest cake you can put it on is a half sheet. They put that on a full sheet. So that wasn't really the decorators fault...
I am the Kimberly of the homage cake fame!
My friend Kelly (who was the decorator) did a fantastic job helping me create that cake! The sprinkles were left off intentionally (my husband - whom the cake was for - really does hate sprinkles) - that's why the green writing says "no sprinkles on the side"!
The cake with the ribbon is actually a "kit". It only comes in one size. Of course I recommend cutting off the ribbon and just using the bow if the cake is larger than 1/4 sheet. LOL
Curses--I'm too late! Now everyone is going to think I am just copying what they already said. It actually did finally dawn on me that it should probably be "Congrats, Yale and Muhlenberg, for getting Paige and Micah!" Notice how the proper punctuation would clear that right up, wreckorators of the world. ;-)
Oh! Thank you, Hermione!
Oh man lmao. Now I get the Micah and Paige cake sheesh. Brain just doesn't function quite yet. Still sick dang it all. That guitar cake made me laugh myself hoarse thanks lol.
I must say, I like the writing on the "Congrats Yale and Muhlenberg" cake. It's not too loose and it's not too formal.
"Cockasaurus Rex, the horniest dinosaur of them all" made me laugh. Long and hard.
Ooooooh yeahh!
I like the e.e. cummings type poem. thanks for that.
What does the second to last cake actually say? I know it's a joke cake, but it looks like Happy Falkor Satherhood "Dave" (with Dan crossed out). Of course, I get the "forgetting Micah and Paige" one immediately, but can't figure out this one, lol. Thanks!
@MommyofMutants, "Happy Falker Satherhood" is a classic Cakewreck. The link might even be in the infamous cake list on this page. If I were computer savvy I could find you the link, but sadly, I'm not!
Poor Katie. Now I'm singing Herman's Hermits
"I'm Katie the 8th I am, Katie the 8th I am I am."
Also, Sheri's cake reminds me of Gravity Fall's resident baker--Lazy Susan. "I've got one good eye and one good pie!"
Muhlenberg alum here to say...save your money, Paige. It's the price of an ivy league, without the name recognition.
Happy Birthday 8th Katie??? So the first 7 Katies don't get cakes?
I'm sorry Kimberly, but the icing around the edge on your homage is the wrong color. Poo is the only appropriate color for any wreck.
