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? ;)

Are These Boobs? Do I Censor This? WHAT IS EVEN HAPPENING HERE

Minions, all I know about today's cake is that it was for a shower. I'm guessing a baby shower? Though I suppose it could have been for a bridal shower. Heck, this thing's weird enough it could have been for an actual wrap-up-your-hair-and-grab-the-back-loofah shower. I have no idea, is what I'm saying.

Also, can nipples be yellow? I only ask because I don't know if I should censor this thing or not. I mean, maybe those aren't nipples at all, maybe they're... [head tilt]... little sombreros. On cantaloupes. Being held in a purple neck sling thingie.

Which brings me to another issue: is the purple thing supposed to be a bra? Because news flash, baker: bras don't work like that. AT ALL.

Oh yeah, I guess I should show you all the cake, huh? You're probably asking, "Jen, are we there yet?" Which is funny, you asking it that way, because that brings me to the final weird bit:

...are we WHERE yet? Who's asking? What does that have to do with sombrero-wearing cantaloupes in a neck sling? How is any of this shower related? Is this real life? WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE??

[sits back down]
[pats hair into place]

Ahem.

Well, thanks, Cindy W., for leaving us with only questions. I look forward to everyone's myriad hypotheses - and sketches of sombrero-wearing cantaloupes - in the comments.

Turn the cake on upside down and it looks like the face of all the peeps that saw it.

I cannot imagine serving the cake to the guests at the shower. "Sorry, I am allergic to frosting...and look at the time!" Yuck.

My mom identified it as a badly done maternity bra and nipple shields to prevent leakage.
So don't worry Jen, it's already censered.

My husband says "what are Mom's boobs doing on a public cake?" That really is the eternal question, isn't it?

I think it's a boob necklace. Like those lady bits & man parts necklaces that are supposed to show that you are a free spirit who embraces their sexuality. I'm not judging, here, you do you, just... Does it need to be on a cake that other people will be cutting up and eating? Like, have your freedom of expression. I just don't want to EAT it.

That is a fake purple lei and those are paper umbrellas in coconut drinks on their way to Hawaii. I think !

Maybe the cake is to celebrate the mom finishing breast feeding?

As a new Mum, I think I may have this solved. ๐Ÿ˜€ The weird yellow 'sombrero's' on the boobs are supposed to be nipple shields, the bra is a maternity bra which comes down to allow Mum to feed baby/pump milk, and that's the baby asking 'Mum, are we there yet?'. Makes total sense to me, though I am a totally weird and strange individual so it could be possible that I'm waaaaay off. Lol

Maybe they're pacifiers?

Mindy1's comment made me think of when "they" grew an ear on a lab mouse's back.

I looked upside-down, but to me it looks more like a Minion than a muppet!

I believe this to be an inside joke between the "to be" mom and some or all of the shower attendees. The nipple shields are reference jokes about the difficulties nursing and the phrase, "Mom, are we there yet" is the unborn child becoming frustrated about the pending delivery date. The purple thing, I'm trusting anyone else's opinion. Just my 2 cents... I'm a guy so I do feel a little weird even commenting on this! However, my resume does include helping raise our two kids to adulthood.

This looks like an episode of Botched, literally.

As others have stated, he cake shows one of those devices to hold bottles for simulated breast-feeding. It is for an adoption shower, and the message indicates a lengthy (and complicated?) adoption process.

This looks like two baby bottles in a purple holder for 'Dad" to wear so that he can share the feeding schedule and give mom a rest??
