But What If The Customers Are Nuts?
July 21, 2016 Bakers, I want you to know that I know.
I KNOW.
Sometimes your customers are... weird.
;)
I promise I'll keep this brief.
And hey, if someone with cash in hand asks you to draw Lebron James as an anesthesiologist, then by golly, you draw Lebron James as an anesthesiologist.
;)
I hear he's a gas.
And if they want an anniversary cake of a fairy and a werewolf about to fight over a box garden, then of course you ask how many blood drips they want around the edges.
;)
Because that's the job.
BUTT.
;)
Can we all agree this was an order better left unfilled?
I mean, I'm not saying that's not a LOVELY toy train rammed up a Harley Davidson-tattooed butt. I'm not.
It's just maybe next time you could suggest something a little less cheeky. A little less wow-that-looks-like-a-wangy. A little less WHYGODWHY. You know?
That said, bakers, if you get an order like this?
;)
Those customers aren't nuts, they're just Cake Wrecks fans. Who are totally cool. Though I'd be EXTRA nice if they have their cameras out. [evil grin]
Thanks to Alyce F., Ronni M., Tena C., Anony M., & Mark H., whose proposal cake from 2011 is making the rounds again online as an ACTUAL cake wreck - but we all know better. IT IS THE SWEETEST.

Well, of all the Jockey underpants cakes I've ever seen, this one is certainly the most well executed. <<shudder>>
Cake #1: Somebody graduated to big-boy pants. Yay!
Cake #2: Ah, sports fans. Even anesthesiologists want to celebrate a winning team, in their own unique way.
Cake#3: Looks like some twisted version of Little Red Riding Hood. I'm sure there's a story behind it, but I don't have a clue what it might be.
Cake #4: Looks more like boobs to me. Though why anyone would want a model train jammed between their boobs is a mystery.
(P. S. I was a regular on a site called Why God Why, which dealt with literary wrecks rather than the pastry version. Sadly, the site is no more, but I have to smile at the memories.)
And the last cake: From the multicolored "sprinkles" to the carrot jockey angel, this is just perfect!
No Wreck minion could mistake that last cake for anything but an intentional wreck. Sprinkles written on the borders, carrot jockey, "underneat that," I love it!
To Wendy I'll just say, "God Bless'
Her cake is a prize. It's no mess
Naked Jockey feels pride
On her proposal ride
I just hope that Wendy said yes!
I wouldn't blame any cake decorator who went out in style after producing that second last one, after having been forced to produce such monstrosities.
My daughter wants a cake wreck for her party. We are pretty sure that convincing the bakery to make a wreck on purpose will be difficult though, so we are getting it plane and wrecking it ourselves.
:O
That second-to-last one is a complete train-wreck. (blinkblink)...
WUT?!??!
(Blame the voices. They told me to type that).
Hilarious.... the last one especially which OBVIOUSLY had on the order "different colored sprinkles around the edges of the cake"... Yep. Nailed it! OMG.. I'm still guffawing. Too funny.
The first two weird but really well made. Got to also give them props for spelling anesthesia correct too, and correctly abbreviating Dept.
The rest, no words to explain.
If a wreckerator makes a wrecked version of an intentional wreck, does he/she produce a perfect cake?
Oh my goodness; the hand on that last cake is missing a finger!
The marriage proposal cake is the best! And obviously ordered by your biggest fan to propose to your other biggest fan!
I can't wait to see what the wedding is like. I bet it'll be full of con costumes and wonderful handmade decor, and the cake will be outstanding.
Tell me they've contacted you about all that stuff?
Okay. I read on to the end and found out that Matt and Wendy were in the news here way back in 2011. But I bet it was a great wedding!
I can't believe that no-one has mentioned the two feline referees at the werewolf/fairy fight.
And there's a sentence you don't write every day...
I just don't get it
How some people cannot see
Some wrecks are not wrecks
What occasion warrants a whitey-tighty cake? Has potty training moved from stickers and "Let's call Grandma!" to inviting a group of ( hopefully close) friends and family to stop by and watch little Lexus or Dornan perform AND EAT CAKE? Maybe it's one of those weird non-traditional anniversary gift suggestions? " It's Nick and Nikkiye's 12th anniversary. That's the underwear one, right? Cheese boards are the 11th and I think organic fair trade cleaning supplies is the 13th..."
The ram-it Harley cake? It's just wrong on so many levels.(shudder and eye roll)
Hey, they make actual edible underwear....
Shouldn't that second-to-last cake have a motorboat instead of a caboose?
I feel like I walked into an awkward moment with the werewolf and his dominatrix. LOVE the voyeuristic kitties.... Hummm, maybe for my birthday i can ask for something impossibly weird... that would make me deliriously happy...
So the Train Cake. It looks like the train is "entering the tunnel" from the front, not the...ummm...rear. This puts the wreck in an entirely different category.
Since I hate sprinkles, I think the last one borders on genius!
These cakes are fails on so many levels.......I can't even imagine what occasion calls for underwear cakes.
Wow I cannot stop giggling at the train up the rear cake. What on earth are people thinking? Wreckerators just make my nights when I see things like this lol.
No caboose pun? Butt... butt...
I love the Cakewrecks cake (the last one)! This put a smile on my face.
hahaha. . . that. . . that last one. . . that last one tickled me :p
