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? ;)

Settle A Bet For Me

CW reader Tati snapped a photo of something... interesting... on display in a local bakery's window.

Now, John and I have studied this thing at length (FOR SCIENCE!!), and unfortunately we can't seem to agree on what, exactly, it's supposed to be.

Here's where you guys come in. (But not literally, I hope. Because ew.)

Ok, first impression: Is this a bleeding butt, or bleeding boobs?

 

How 'bout from this angle?

 

Now, the real question:

 

Thanks, Tati. I think.

Because I can't really look at WHATEVER it is, I've become fascinated by the reflection in the glass in that first photo, of what appears to be a giganitic ant.

Even Finn from Adventure Time (seen in the reflection) is confused...his expression says, "I want to look away but can't."

Oh man lmao. At first I thought it could be a C-section cake but nope I have to agree it looks like a butt. Oh man and now I am terrified my birthday is in two days and I can only imagine what scary cakes are out there waiting for me to look at lol.

Unanimous vote at work (6 people so far) has been: It's a butt. With a bleeding butt-hole. No idea why.

That is all.

If I suggest that the bleeding isn't actually intentional, would that blow everyone's mind? If, on the other hand, it is intentional, we're looking at a tribute to Dexter.

It's definitely a butt. She's got a tramp stamp!

Why on earth would anybody put this in their window ?

May 6, 2015 | Unregistered CommenterDeb

The caption was supposed to be "Good Luck on your Hemorrhoid Surgery" Of course, given what we have seen of this baker's work, the caption probably would have ended up as "Goid 'Luck' on you're Hemirhrod Sergy!"

But...what does it all mean?????????????

May 6, 2015 | Unregistered CommenterRuthie

Could it be Damien Hirst's birthday cake?

May 6, 2015 | Unregistered CommenterSquirrel

AUCK!

I'm still laughing over Gail's comment- this cake truly gives new meaning to "piece of a--"!

May 6, 2015 | Unregistered Commenteranon.

Either way, what's with the red blood/gstring/ooze around the whole perimeter of the bottom of the cake?

May 7, 2015 | Unregistered Commenterdakota

It's a woman who is face down with her tiny skirt pulled down below her hips. The red lines denote a thong, and the red ruffles are around her upper thighs and are supposed to look like the tops of stockings. I bet if you could see the front of it, you'd see the back of a woman's head, face down. It looks like red hair coming off it.

Above all, this is the most sexist cake I've ever seen, and it's obscene to boot.

It is clearly to celebrate BUTT IMPLANTS!!!

May 15, 2015 | Unregistered CommenterReese

I kind of agree with somebody's "50 Shades of Grey" guess.

But, ewwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!

The fact that it is on public display signals the end times, I'm pretty sure.

Whenever my dad sees a gross commercial on TV, like for athletes foot, or TMI for a disease; he always says "Just wait. One day there will be a butthole on the screen. Just pressed right up against the glass. A giant butthole." This cake is bringing us that much closer.

First thing I thought was "anime boobs."

May 21, 2015 | Unregistered CommenterPinkie Pie

tramp stamp+ blood = a cake celebrating first period. A very bloody one, hence blood on the butt crack.

Obviously - a full-frontal...lobotomy - that's the only way I will get that image out of my head!

May 29, 2015 | Unregistered CommenterTina

Sandy, I LOVED yours ... as soon as you got to the "anvil" part, I was cackling. Excellent. The laugh you gave me is the ONLY thing that made looking at this awe-ful and awful thing worthwhile.

Boobs... Oh my gosh WHY!!!!
