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? ;)

Greeeeeeeaaaaaat

It's time once again to educate our sarcasm-impaired brothers and sisters. That's right! It's...

Sarcasm Awareness Month!

How does that make you feel?

Ladies and gentlemen, sarcasm!

And that brings us to our first lesson: lack of punctuation.

 

You may remember one of the classic sarcastic cakes from way back:

The sarcastically inept might think this is praising Bob when, in fact, it's telling Bob to go suck an egg.

 

Let's try some more:
What are these cakes really saying?

This means the best probably happened a while ago, and you missed it.

 

This means you did something stupid - and everyone saw.

 

And this means nobody here cares about the specifics of your situation, so go away so we can eat some cake already. 

 

There you have it! I do hope we've made you more aware of sarcasm.

Because that would make us:

No, really.

See what I did there?

 

Thanks to Mariya N., Sarah C., Donna H., Kim B., Brad C. & Julia K. for being the brightest rays of sunshine yet, only in a really really good way. Honest.
