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? ;)

The Cake Wrecks Ink Blot Test

We need modern tools for a modern age, minions. That's why I'm proposing we throw out the passé Rorschach ink blot test for psychological evaluation... and use cakes instead.

 

"SO... [clicking pen, pushing up glasses, consulting clipboard]...

"Tell me.

"What do you see?"

"I'm sorry, did you just say "a screaming ding dong on a pile of dog crap"?

"You did?

[scribbling on clipboard] "Innnnnteresting."

 

"Right. How about this one?"

"Huh. Really? Huh.

"No, no, don't worry, LOTS of folks see "a pug who ate Italy."

[turns to camera, eyes wide, mouths NO THEY DON'T.]

 

"Ok, last one. Ready?

"What do you see?"

"And I'm going to need you to be really specific here, since the boss wants a label on this thing pronto, and I have no friggin' clue.

"Oh, wow, and look at the time! Guess my lunch break's over. So, would you like any more cakes, or should I just ring these three up?"

 

Thanks to Jessica D., Lindsey I., & Tracy A., who can probably think of worse things than having bakers for psychoanalysts. At least you'd get cake after each session, right?

Okay, this isn't snarky....but I think that actually if you turn the left one on its side....it's a bucket full of sand and a little plastic shovel? Like at the beach? That's the best I got

I don't know what the last one is SUPPOSED to be, but I CAN tell you that it looks like an angry green man trying hard to shoot a yellow gun from the hip, but failing.

1. Hallucination of a lighthouse after breathing in too many plastic fumes from primary-coloured toys.
2. Sophie the Giraffe after a horde of teething toddlers have played with her.
3. Things the dog dragged in. At least one of them is a bone. Part of it might be the remains of the retractable leash.

Not sure about the details, but it ooks to me as if Big Bird is in terrible trouble

1) Fire hydrant on rocky outcrop at the ocean
2) Giraffe with very big eyebrows and an ear infection, who just stuck it's mouth in tar
3) A beer stein and hammer being used to push away a wall of suds (like was on the Brady Bunch episodes when one of the kids did the laundry and used the whole box of soap...)

Now the big question...WHY?

In the first one I saw a fire hydrant riding a black octopus but my son said that's clearly a lighthouse.

Is it just me, or does that last one look like a person in a hazmat suit humping a giant gold-plated dog bone?
(*hurk*)

Cakewreck#3, i took the photo 7/9- Still no freaking clue what it is... I seriously hope it wasn't a St. Patty's leftover.

#3 is definitely Big Bird doing a little bit of plasma arc welding in his spare time, while naturally wearing proper safety gear including the green welder's mask. Which is just as well, because the entire torch seems to be glowing strangely.
