Bohemian Wrecksody
Is she a real wife,
...without the letter E?
Post-marital strife?
Buy a cake from the bakery!
Open your eyes,
Watch the monster cry,
"Cookieeee!"
He's just an old man!
He needs baked sympathy.
Because he's easy come,
Easy go,
Little high,
Little low!
Any kind of cake goes, as long as the batter's...
...nail-free!
Na-il freeeeee.
Thanks to Kari Jo M., Kyla W., Jennifer L., Beth H., Randi H., Stacie B., Amanda H., Andrew H., Bronwyn G., & Sarah M. for helping me be a little mercurial. (See what I did there?)

Sharyn, just nailed this post
Got a song stuck in her head, lesser women would have fled
Sharyn, her song's just begun
But, lack of more wrecks stopped her on this day
Sharyn, ooo ooo ooo oooh
Didn't stop to ask "No. Why?"
She never said they shouln't be baked at all
Carry on, carry on and keep writing cake based song wrecks...
Nail - free? what the heck does THAT even mean??? No don't answer that ... I don't really want to know...
...Baker...just wrecked a cake;
Piping gun up to my head,
Pulled my trigger now I'm red...
Baker--yeast had JUST begun...
But now it's gone and flattened all awaaay...!!
But you made my DAY, Sharyn!!! (Huge Queen fan!) Wreck on!
=^~.~^=
One of my all time favorite Queen songs!
Epic!
Good lord, I'll have this song stuck in my head all day. And when I pick my son up from school, with the windows rolled down, singing this at the top of my lungs, and he refuses to climb into the car because he's so embarrassed, I'll tell him that he has Cake Wrecks to thank.
I LOVE this place! Sharyn starts us with a song, then SuBee and sending add the next verses...this place totally ROCKS!!! CW rules...yeah, I see what you did there with your mercurial wit!
As soon as I saw today's title I knew it was a post by Sharyn. Excellent as always!
Second cake looks like the wrecker scraped off some roses, too. *shudder* I hate to think what they looked like!
I think those sperm balloons are looking for a certain cake that made its appearance yesterday!
Sharyn,... oooh ohh eee ooohhh
made me laugh until I cried
and you won't find the nail until tomorrow,
wre-eck on, wre-eck on
'cuz I know it's in the batter....
Queen fan here too, thank you Sharyn, you nailed it, and I'll have this song in my head alllllll day!
Find the TOENAIL?!? Gross!
Sharyn is Queen for a day!!
OK, my fellow Wreckies, we definitely need to start a Queen cover band. Theardare says we can use the bunker. (Good kitty.)
Ewww at the toenail one :))) Yet, I assume the customer wanted that message, so it's not the baker's fault.
OMG I just sang that in my head XD XD perfect. sendingtheclowns thanks for the additional lines :D
One of my favorite songs in cake form!
I'm just a poor wreck, nobody loves me.
HE'S JUST A POOR WRECK FROM A POOR BAKERY,
Cupcakes and cakes made as monstrosities!
Welp...I know what song's going to be stuck in MY head for the rest of the day. :)
This is just genius Sharyn. Huge Queen (+AL) and CW fan. My day is complete.
Thank goodness! A Theardare reference. I've been wondering what kitty has been up to lately.
And in the distance, Freddy Mercury is applauding. Well done, Sharyn and commenters!
However, I am not touching Seth's cake. Bismillah! NO! I do not want your toe! (Or your nail!) No no no no no no NO!
I see a little yellow plastic butterfly
Would it hert, would it hert
If my wif tried to eat it
Toenails, sperm and Muppets
Fuzzy frosting puppets, please
I’m no a**hole, I’m no a**hole
I’m no a**hole, hell no
I’m not a baker, nor a decorator
I just leave comments, I’m no wreckerator
Spare me complaints ‘bout the cakes that you have seen
Big space high, big space low. Can’t you let it go?
It’s frosting! No, we cannot let it go!
It’s fondant! No, we cannot let it go!
Will not let you go. (Let me go!)
Never, never let it go
Never let it go, oh.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Oh, It’s a cake wreck, it’s a cake wreck (It’s a cake wreck, can’t let go.)
Oh Jen and John have some more wrecks put aside for me, for me, for me.
@Sharyn, @SuBee, @Sending and @Cookiemama are my new favorites! Unfortunately I look like a chipmunk today after having an abscessed tooth pulled yesterday so I just have to hum along in my feverish, pain medication induced stupor.
The Little low wreck has dead flowers on it. Like, dead, rotting flowers. Yummy! o.O
Sharyn, I love the idea of a Queen cover band, but does it have to be in the (dreaded) bunker? We'd have to keep Theardare plied with treats just to keep him from caterwau--I mean, SINGING-with us. =^>.<^=
Thunderbolts of icing, very very frightening...
"Sorry you hert your back old pops"
Why is that one so funny to me. LOL!!!
@Sharyn: Sure, Theardare "says"--but we'll probably have to line the bunker walls in tins of cat food for the honor!
@SuBee:awesome!!
@VaBeach alemaP: join us all at our next gig--and bring a tuning fork, lol!
@mindy1:Thanks for thanking me!
@Jodee-Aw...hope you feel better really soon, so you can join in the caterwauling-I mean "singing"!
For the record, that vs Ames with shifty unsteady writing are written on by non-cake decorators; either being a counter staff or staff of a different department, because the decorators had gone home for the day (shocker right?! We don't work 24/7!!!) And pushy customers insist that any writing is "fine" despite staff saying they are bad at it...
Most of these therefore don't count as cake wrecks, as the decorators did not mess them up.
This post and all its comments: brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.
Look again "decorator." Most of these DO count as cake wrecks as the counter staff was apparently responsible for only one.
Massive QUEEN fan here, this post and the following comments are awesomesauce!
All we need now is one of Mel's stories about the various bakeries he's written about.
And can Haiku Joy sum it all up in 5-7-5?
Lol now that song is stuck in my head along with the cakes. Will have some scary dreams tonight.. eeek especially the crying monster one. Sheesh.
Jdad and Notme, you are geniuses. GENIUSES, I say!
Her quicksilver wit
Such a crazy little thing.
Now we'll hum all day.
