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? ;)

Dirty-Minded Decorators

Aw, look at the sweet cake for Sarah-Maude's second birthday:

[squinting]

 

Although, those balloons look a little odd, don't they? Let's take a closer look...

[eyes bulging] Great Scott! Hide the children!!

And I KNOW you see what I see, people, so don't even try to accuse me of having my mind in the gutter. It's the Fireman cake all over again.

Eric N., thank goodness this was for a safely oblivious 2-year-old. Still, given how obvious those balloons are, I'm pretty sure I'd steer clear of this bakery in the future. Unless it was for a bachelorette party, of course.

Sometimes I wonder if the bakeries do this on purpose. You know, make it a game to see what they can get away with...

Speaking as someone in the fire biz, the size of the hose does matter ZZZZZZZZZ[]>-----------

Oh, that red one. OUCH!!! Then again, the yellow one next to it appears to have an abrasion so OUCH again.

I bet if you went to that same bakery and asked specifically for a cake with "penis-shaped balloons" on it, said balloons would not be anywhere near that accurately depicted.

those are not even balloons-balloons get thinner at bottom DUH

Ah, that's meant to be "2 years" in French then. I don't think it quite is, but it's not like I know French.

(I thought it said "2 ano" at first, which is an entirely different misspelling.)

Oh those wangs pretending to be balloons lol. I cannot stop laughing at them and wondering what is wrong with the wreckerators.

Sorry, I don't see it. They're just not the right shape. Unless someone is willing to be more specific (and probably more graphic), I'll remain happily in the dark. ;(

Well, the warped 'balloons' are worse than the double-wanged fireman of the referenced fireman cake!

@R3test: "2 ans" is indeed correct French for "2 years".

July 21, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterKai Lowell

"2 ans" is correct, but "fĂȘte" is misspelled.

So, I'll be the first to admit I'm not the best decorator. However, I've made balloons a hundred times and they don't involve two extra bumps at the bottom, very tightly coiled strings, and TEXTURE. This was 100% on purpose. Either the decorator is a pervert OR (more likely) the customer was rude in some way (acted like a... well you know) so the decorator wanted to make a point.
