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? ;)

Ok first one while it looks bad, looks like someone attempted to fix it. Maybe something happened on the drive over? Look at the combed edges by the top borders. Hopefully no one did that on purpose. But hey at least there's still cake, hopefully everyone got a good laugh out of it!
Me when reading anti vaccine sites and comments :P
Those are the SADDEST wedding cakes I've ever seen!
Best Reaction ever! Who knew that looking at pics of Wedding wrecks could turn a sane John (thoj) into a Pryromaniac? Makes perfect sense to me, and I'm a professional (I put 'em out, not start 'em, but I agree with John (thoj) on this one.
I shouldn't laugh, but that little "plink" is just getting me right in the funnies today.
I'm SO proud of john (thoj)! Too bad he couldn't have sledgehammered and set afire all of the cakes, as well! Especially the next to last one that someone vomited on! Yikes!
=^-.-^=
Does anyone else think the 2nd one looks like someone shoved a pair of eyeglasses halfway into the top tier?
That first one looks as if it was decorated with silly Putty. Because the color and consistency... Yikes.
Hey, john.......got any marshmallows?
=^-.-^=
Glass slipper sitting atop Blob from Gigglesnort Hotel. Just WOW!
The last one looks like an attack of the moth balls. Yuck!
the insouciant glass bird on top of that second mess made me laugh so hard. There's just something about it. I keep scrolling back to look and laughing again.
How closely are the facts checked in these things? I honestly can't believe these were all made by professional cake decorators.
Sorry to hear of your troubles Jen (and John) and hope power and air conditioning is restored to you soon.
All of those cakes were hot messes. And there is no way they got messed up by traveling.
I understand that accidents happen en route, and warnings about the temperature and humidity of the venue vs. frosting choice are all too often ignored, but Ye Gads and Little Fishes! The next-to-last one looks as if it is bleeding between the layers. *shudder*
The third cake made me so happy when I realized those were blackberries. I kid you not, I thought they were prunes. What's with the demonic eyes on the cake topper couple, though?
The one with the glass slipper reminds me of a small child's first snowman. After a thaw. They really look like that. Sort of.
I actually wondered if perhaps all those cakes lived through Irma and were melting. Then I realized they looked too bad for that.
Wishing you power sooner than soon!
Are those skeletons on the third one???
Please tell me these are amateur/ Homemade by great Aunt Deloris who's slightly senile but loved too much to say no to!!!!! No WAY I'd pay a penny no matter how good the cake did or didn't taste!!! Not for a Wedding!!!
